The correct option is C.

An atom can be either in the ground state or in an excited state. An atom is said to be in the ground state, if the total energy of its electron can not be lowered by moving one or more electrons into different orbitals. At the ground state, the electrons in the atom have the lowest energy possible and they are stable. On the other hand, an atom is said to be in an excited state, if the energy of its electrons can be lowered by transferring one or more electrons into different orbitals. An atom in an excited state has more energy and is less stable.

The mole fraction of CO2 in a certain solution with H2O as the solvent is 3.6 × 10−4. What is the approximate molality of CO2 in
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: C) 0.020 m

Explanation:

Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n = moles of solute  

W_s = weight of solvent in g  

Mole fraction of CO_2 is = 3.6\times 10^{-4} i.e.3.6\times 10^{-4}  moles of CO_2 is present in 1 mole of solution.

Moles of solute (CO_2) = 3.6\times 10^{-4}

moles of solvent (water) = 1 - 3.6\times 10^{-4} = 0.99

weight of solvent =moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.99\times 18=17.82g

Molality =\frac{3.6\times 10^{-4}\times 1000}{17.82g}=0.020

Thus  approximate molality of CO_2 in this solution is 0.020 m

Consider an electron with charge −e−e and mass mmm orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with cha
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The net force on electron is electrostatic force between electron and proton in the nucleus .

Fc = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \times \frac{e\times e}{r^2}

This provides the centripetal force for the circular path of electron around the nucleus .

Centripetal force required = \frac{m\times v^2}{r}

So

\frac{m\times v^2}{r}=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \times \frac{e\times e}{r^2}

v^2=\frac{e^2}{4\pi \epsilon m r}

v=(\frac{e^2}{4\pi \epsilon m r})^{\frac{1}{2} }

g A microwave oven heats by radiating food with microwave radiation, which is absorbed by the food and converted to heat. If the
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The total photons required = 5.19 × 10²⁸ photons

Explanation:

Given that:

the radiation wavelength λ= 12.5 cm = 0.125 m

Volume of the container = 0.250 L = 250 mL

The density of water = 1 g/mL

Density = mass /volume

Mass =  Volume ×  Density

Thus; the mass of the water =  250 mL ×  1 g/mL

the mass of the water = 250 g

the specific heat of water s = 4.18 J/g° C

the initial temperature T_1 = 20.0° C

the final temperature T_2 = 99° C

Change in temperature \Delta T = (99-20)° C = 79 ° C

The heat q absorbed during the process = ms \Delta T

The heat q absorbed during the process = 250 g × 4.18 J/g° C × 79° C

The heat q absorbed during the process = 82555 J

The energy of a photon can be represented by the equation :

= hc/λ

where;

h = planck's constant = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ J.s

c = velocity of light = 3.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s

=  \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3.0 \times 10^8}{0.125}

= 1.59024 \times 10^{-24} J

The total photons required = Total heat energy/ Energy of a photon

The total photons required = \dfrac{82555 J}{1.59024 \times 10^{-24}J}

The total photons required = 5.19 × 10²⁸ photons
