Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

At room temperature (20°C} and pressure, the density of air is 1.189 g/L. An object will float in air if its density is less tha

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Explanation:

$Density =\frac{Mass}[Volume}$

Density of the air ,d= 1.189 g/L

(a) Density of the evacuated ball

Mass of the ball ,m = 0.12 g

Volume of the ball = $V=560 cm^3=560 ml=0.560 L$

$D =\frac{0.12 g}{0.560 L}=0.214 g/L$

D<d, teh evacuated ball will flaot in air.

(b) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of carbon dioxide gas = $d_1=1.830 g/L$

Mass of the carbon dioxide gas :

$1.830 g/L\times 0.560 L=1.0248 g$

Total density of filled ball with carbon dioxide gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+1.0248 g}{0.560 L}==2.044 g/L$

The ball filled with carbon dioxide will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

(c) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of hydrogen gas = $d_2=0.0899 g/L$

Mass of the hydrogen gas :

$1.830 g/L\times 0.560 L=0.050344 g$

Total density of filled ball with hydrogen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+0.050344 g}{0.560 L}==0.3041 g/L$

The ball filled with hydrogen will float in the air because total density of filled ball is lessor than the density of an air.

(d) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of oxygen gas = $d_3=1.330 g/L$

Mass of the oxygen gas :

$1.330 g/L\times 0.560 L=1.7448 g$

Total density of filled ball with oxygen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+1.7448 g}{0.560 L}=1.5442 g/L$

The ball filled with oxygen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

(e) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of nitrogen gas = $d_4=1.165 g/L$

Mass of the nitrogen gas :

$1.165 g/L\times 0.560 L=0.6524 g$

Total density of filled ball with nitrogen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+0.6524 g}{0.560 L}==1.3792 g/L$

The ball filled with nitrogen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

f) Mass must be added to sink the ball = m

Density of ball > Density of the air ; to sink the ball.

$\frac{0.12g +m}{0.560L}>1.189 g/L$

m > 0.54584 g

For any case weight added to ball to make it sink in an air should be grater than the value of 0.54584 grams.

a sample of ammonia contains 9g hydrogen and 42g nitrogen. another sample contains 5g hydrogen .calculate the amount of nitrogen

balandron [24]

9 g of hydrogen - 42 g of nitrogen
5 g of hydrogen - x g of nitrogen

$9x=42 \cdot 5 \\
9x=210 \\
x \approx 23.33$

The mass of nitrogen in the second sample is 23.33 g.
