<h2>Cost savings in using the fluorescent bulb is 3.81 cents</h2>

Explanation:

A 100 watt incandescent light bulb is operated for 7 hours.

Energy used by 100 watt incandescent light bulb = Power x Time

Energy used by 100 watt incandescent light bulb = 100 x 7 = 700 Wh

Energy used by 100 watt incandescent light bulb = 0.7 kWh

A 32 watt fluorescent light bulb is operated for 7 hours.

Energy used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulb = Power x Time

Energy used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulb = 32 x 7 = 224 Wh

Energy used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulb = 0.224 kWh

Cost of electricity per kWh = 8 cents

Cost of electricity by 100 watt incandescent light bulb = 0.7 x 8 = 5.6 cents

Cost of electricity by 32 watt fluorescent light bulb = 0.224 x 8 = 1.792 cents

Difference in costs = 5.6 - 1.792 = 3.808 cents

Cost savings in using the fluorescent bulb is 3.81 cents

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ

Why concave lens is called diverging lens​
dangina [55]

When a parallel beam of light passes through a convex lens, the rays become farther from one another when the come out. This process of rays is called ''to diverge''. The concave lens makes rays of light diverge, so it is called diverging lens.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Selenium dichloride

Explanation:

Selenium (Se) and Chlorine (Cl) are both elements capable of combining together to form a compound with the chemical formula; SeCl2. Since the chlorine atom is more electronegative than selenium atom, the chlorine pulls more electrons towards itself to form an IONIC bond.

The SeCl2 compound formed is called Selenium dichloride as two atoms of Chlorine are needed to combine with one atom of Selenium to form the compound.
