Answer: A) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

Explanation: conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles—the electrons. These free electrons also known as valence electrons are free to move, and as a result they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal. The presence of valence electrons determines a metal's conductivity. However, several other factors can affect the conductivity of a metal such as impurities, temperature, magnetic fields etc.

AveGali [126]

Correct answer choice is:

C. Polarized in a vertical plane.

Explanation:

Polarized sunglasses give excellent glare shield, particularly on the water. Polarized lenses include a specific filter that prevents this type of strong reflected light, diminishing glare.

This is because when you angle one polarized lens to different perpendicularly, they prevent glare both horizontally and vertically. The polarized lenses are enduringly tinted sunglasses that exceedingly decrease glare.

What causes irregular galaxies to be irregular

Mariulka [41]

Irregular galaxies get their odd shapes in many ways. One way irregular galaxies are formed is when galaxies collide or come close to one another, and their gravitational forces interact. Another source of irregular galaxies may be very young galaxies that have not yet reached a symmetrical state.

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy

k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about: What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ? Answer: Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about. Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !

If 1.00 mol of argon is placed in a 0.500-L container at 28.0 ∘C , what is the difference between the ideal pressure (as predict

Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.98 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature = 28.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (28 + 273.15) K = 301.15 K

n = 1

V = 0.500 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol

Applying the equation as:

P × 0.500 L = 1 ×0.0821 L atm/ K mol × 301.15 K

⇒P (ideal) = 49.45 atm

Using Van der Waal's equation

$\left(P+\frac{an^2}{V^2}\right)\left(V-nb\right)=nRT$

R = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol

Where, a and b are constants.

For Ar, given that:

So, a = 1.345 atm L² / mol²

b = 0.03219 L / mol

So,

$\left(P+\frac{1.345\times \:1^2}{0.500^2}\right)\left(0.500-1\times 0.03219\right)=1\times 0.0821\times 301.15$

$P+\frac{1.345}{0.25}=\frac{24.724415}{0.46781}$

$P=\frac{24.724415}{0.46781}-\frac{1.345}{0.25}$

⇒P (real) = 47.47 atm

Difference in pressure = 49.45 atm - 47.47 atm = 1.98 atm
