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.

If I have an unknown quantity of gas at a pressure of 0.72 atm, a volume of 22
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

0.64 mol

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation as follows;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P = 0.72atm

V = 22 L

T = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303K

n = ?

Using PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = (0.72 × 22) ÷ (0.0821 × 303)

n = 15.84 ÷ 24.88

n = 0.64 mol

For a chain reaction to occur each fission must produce at least ____ more fission reaction(s)
Mademuasel [1]
For a chain reaction to occur each fission must produce at least one more fission reactions.
 Nuclear chain reactions are series of nuclear fission, which involves splitting of atomic nuclei, each initiated by a neutron produced in a preceding fission. Each fission produces 2 to 3 neutrons. At least one of these neutrons on average has to hit another nucleus and initiate another fission, and thus the number of fission increase with time.
