Physics
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago
4 0
<span>Amethyst is a crystalline quartz, its colours range from light to dark purple. The purplish colour of amethyst is due to high energy radiations, such as gamma rays, from radioactive sources, the presence of trace elements and the presence of iron found in its crystal lattice. The colour cetre created by Fe4+ is a principal contributor to the colouring of amethyst.</span>

Calculate the number of free electrons per cubic meter for some hypothetical metal, assuming that there are 1.3 free electrons p
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The number of free electrons per cubic meter is 7.61\times 10^{28}\ m^{-3}

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of free electrons per cubic meter is, 1.3

Electrical conductivity of metal, \sigma=6.8\times 10^7\ \Omega^{-1}m^{-1}

Density of metal, \rho=10.5\ g/cm^3

Atomic weight, A = 107.87 g/mol

Let n is the number of  free electrons per cubic meter such that,

n=1.3\ N

n=1.3(\dfrac{\rho N_A}{A})

Where

\rho is the density of silver atom

N_A is the Avogadro number

A is the atomic weight of silver

n=1.3\times (\dfrac{10.5\ g/cm^3\times 6.02\times 10^{23}\ atoms/mol}{107.87\ g/mol})

n=7.61\times 10^{22}\ cm^{-3}

or

n=7.61\times 10^{28}\ m^{-3}

Hence, this is the required solution.

The Pacific Giant Kelp grows at a rate of 18 in/day. How many centimeters per hour is this?
Airida [17]

For this case we must do a conversion. By definition we have to:

1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters

1 day equals 24 hours.

So, we have:18 \frac {in} {day} * \frac {1} {24} \frac {day} {h} * \frac {2.54} {1} \frac {cm} {in} =

Canceling units we have:

\frac {18 * 1 * 2.54} {24 * 1} \frac {cm} {h} =\\\frac {45.72} {24}\frac {cm} {h} =

1,905 \frac {cm} {h}

Answer:

1,905 \frac {cm} {h}
