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

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.

Particles in plasmas collide more often, but that does not necessarily give them higher temperature.

Plasma particles have high kinetic energy (they move quickly).

Plasma particles are far apart.

The plasma in a fluorescent bulb has a low density.

Answers:

Question 1:

The diagram for gallium will have flat, horizontal lines at <u><em>30 and 2204</em></u><em> </em>°C.

Questoin 2:

The diagram for methane will have a <u><em>diagonal </em></u>line representing the <u><em>liquid phase</em></u> between -183°C and -162°C.

Question 3:

For gold, the boiling point corresponds to the y-value at <u><em>2856</em></u><u> </u>°C of <u><em>the top horizontal line</em></u>

Question 4.

For nitrogen, the line at -210°C will be<u><em> flat</em></u>, which represents <u><em>the change from a solid to a liquid</em></u>

Explanations:

Question 1:

The diagram for gallium will have flat, horizontal lines at <u><em>30 and 2204</em></u><em> </em>°C.

The table shows that the melting point of gallium is 30°C and its boiling point is 2204°C.

<em>Melting point</em> is the temperature at which the substace changes its state from<em> solid to liquid</em>. During that change, <em>the temperature</em> of the substance <em>does not change</em>, because the heat supplied is used to accomplish the phase change. So, the temperature is constant and that means <em>that portion of the diagram is flat</em>.

The same is valid during<em> boiling</em>: the temperature remains constant while the substance is passing<em> from liquid to gas</em> at the boiling point.

Questoin 2:

The diagram for methane will have a <u><em>diagonal </em></u>line representing the <u><em>liquid phase</em></u> between -183°C and -162°C.

Between the <em>melting</em> (-183°C) and<em> boiling</em> (-162°C) points of methane, its temperature will increase more or less linearly, which is represented with a <em>diagonal</em> (slant) <em>line</em> between those points. During this interval the heat is used to <em>increase the temperature</em> and no phase of change happens.

Question 3:

For gold, the boiling point corresponds to the y-value at <u><em>2856</em></u><u> </u>°C of <u><em>the top horizontal line</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

The table shows that the<em> boiling point</em> of gold is 2,856°C.

In a <em>temperature-vs.-time diagram</em> the<em> temperature is represented on the vertical axis (y-value)</em> and the time is represented on the horizontal axis.

Since, the temperature of the substance does not change during <em>boiling,</em> the line during the time that this change of phase is happening is flat. And since this temperatue is higher than the melting temperature, this is the <em>top horizontal line in the diagram</em>.

Question 4.

For nitrogen, the line at -210°C will be<u><em> flat</em></u>, which represents <u><em>the change from a solid to a liquid</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

The table shows that the <em>melting point </em>of nitrogen is -210°C, that means that the temperature will remain constant at -210°C while the substance is absorbing heat to pass from solid to liquid.

<u>In conclusion, you must remember that all the phase changes, melting (from solid to liquid), freezing (from liquid to solid), boilng (from liquid to gas), and condensing (from gas to liquid) happens at constant temperature, and so the </u><em><u>temperature - vs. - time diagrams </u></em><u>show flat lines (constant y-values) during those intervals of time.</u>

The atomic number of an element is the total number of which particles in the nucleus?
VARVARA [1.3K]

An atom of element has there subatomic particles namely, proton, electron and neutron. Here, for a neutral atom, number of proton is equal to number of electron (this is not in the case of ions), this is equal to atomic number of an atom. In an atom, nucleus contains protons and neutrons which is responsible for mass of the atom and electrons move around nucleus in fixed orbits. Thus, atomic mass of an atom is equal to sum of number of protons and neutrons.

Option (b): Proton is the particle in nucleus of an atom, whose total number is equal to atomic number of that atom.

(4) Option (b): Atoms of same element have same atomic number because mass number can be different for different isotopes of atom. Since, atomic number is equal to number of protons, thus, number of protons are same for all atoms of the same element.

(5) Option (d): Isotopes are defined as atoms of same element with same atomic number but different mass number. Thus, correct option is (d) mass numbers.
