Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors sound an alarm when peak levels of carbon monoxide reach 100 parts per million (ppm). This level

roughly corresponds to a composition of air that contains 400,000 /(/mu/)g carbon monoxide per cubic meter of air (400,000 /(/mu/)g/m3). Assuming the dimensions of a room are 18 ft x 12 ft x 8 ft, estimate the mass (in grams) of carbon monoxide in the room that would register 100 ppm on a carbon monoxide detector. (1 meter = 3.28 feet)

Answer:

19.61kg

Explanation:

The first thing to do is divide the amount of feet into 3.28:

18ft*12ft*8ft=5.49m*3.66m*2.44m

With this information, we calculate the volume:

V=5.49m*3.66m*2.44m=49.03m^{3}

As we have the concentration and the volume, we can calculate the mass of CO:

m=400,000 \mu g/m^{3}*49.03m^{3}=19611158.4 \mu g

As this is a very big number, we can express it in kg by dividing in 10^6:

19611158.4 \mu g/10^{6}=19.61 kg

How is electromagnetic energy fromthe microwave transformed into heat energy
zysi [14]

Answer:


First, the microwaves transmit kinetic energy to the water molecules of the food, heating the water molecules. Only, those that are not very deep into the food.


Second, the hot water molecules transmit heat by conduction to the other parts of the food.


Explanation:


1) Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The same as any wave, they carry energy.


2) The wave length of microwaves are in the range of 0.001 mm to 1 m (shorter than radio waves and longer than infrared)


3) The microwaves of an oven, used to heat food, have a wave length aroun 12 cm.


4) The microwaves transmit energy to the water molecules in the food, by increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules. As result, the water molecules get hotter. Microwaves only penetrate about 1 cm inside the food (a potato for example) and from that the heat is transferred by conduction to the inner parts of the food.

Which two subatomic particles have the greatest mass?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

PROTON AND NEUTRON

Explanation:

  • The mass of proton is : 1.67*10^{-27}kg

A proton is one of the main particles that make up the atom . The other two particles are neutron and electron. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom.This is a tiny , dense region at the centre of the atom. Protons have a positive charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit ( amu ) , which is about 1.67*10^{-27}kg. Together with neutrons , they make up virtually all of the mass of an atom.

  • The  mass of neutron is also approximately: 1.67*10^{-27}kg but a little more than that .

Atoms of all elements - except Hydrogen , have neutrons in their nucleus . Unlike protons and electrons , these have no charge - they are electrically neutral . The mass of a neutron is slightly greater than the mass of a proton but not very significant
