Answer: The number of electrons in an atom of zirconium are 40.

Explanation:

Electrons are one of the subatomic particles present in an atom.

Electrons in an atom is judged by the atomic number of the atom.

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Atomic number of Zirconium = 40

Number of electrons will be equal to 40

Electronic configuration of Zirconium (Z = 40): $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65d^24d^2$

A body which has surface area 5cm² and temperature of 727°C radiates 300J of energy in one minute. Calculate it's emissivity giv

cestrela7 [59]

<h2>Answer: 0.17</h2>

Explanation:

The Stefan-Boltzmann law establishes that a black body (an ideal body that absorbs or emits all the radiation that incides on it) "emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power proportional to the fourth power of its temperature":

$P=\sigma A T^{4}$ (1)

Where:

$P=300J/min=5J/s=5W$ is the energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second, per unit area (in Watts). Knowing $1W=\frac{1Joule}{second}=1\frac{J}{s}$

$\sigma=5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}}$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.

$A=5cm^{2}=0.0005m^{2}$ is the Surface area of the body

$T=727\°C=1000.15K$ is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin.

However, there is no ideal black body (ideal radiator) although the radiation of stars like our Sun is quite close. So, in the case of this body, we will use the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiator bodies:

$P=\sigma A \epsilon T^{4}$ (2)

Where $\epsilon$ is the body's emissivity

(the value we want to find)

Isolating $\epsilon$ from (2):

$\epsilon=\frac{P}{\sigma A T^{4}}$ (3)

Solving:

$\epsilon=\frac{5W}{(5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}})(0.0005m^{2})(1000.15K)^{4}}$ (4)

Finally:

$\epsilon=0.17$ (5) This is the body's emissivity

Answer:

h=17357.9m

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure is just related to the weight of an arbitrary column of gas in the atmosphere above a given area. So, if you are higher in the atmosphere less gass will be over you, which means you are bearing less gas and the pressure is less.

To calculate this, you need to use the barometric formula:

$P=P_0e^{-\frac{Mg}{RT}h}$
