Answer: Please see answer below

Explanation:

Mecury vapor lamp is better to use than Sodium vapor light, this is because  because

---The Filaments of the lamp in sodium  emit fast moving electrons, which causes valence electrons of the sodium atoms to excite to higher energy levels which when electrons after being excited, relax by emitting yellow light which concentrates on the the  monochromatic bright yellow part of the visible spectrum which is about  580-590 or about (589nm) which will fall incident on the calibrations making it difficult to see

While

In Mercury vapor lamp, The emitted  electrons from the filaments, after having been excited  by high voltage, hit the mercury atoms but the excited electrons of mercury atoms relax and emits an  ultraviolet  uv invisible lights falling on the mecury vapour lamp to produce white light  covering  a wide range of  (380-780 nm) which is visible that is why it is used for calibrations purposes in  lightening applications.

Calculate the number of calories needed to increase the temperature of 50.0 g of copper metal from 21.0 degrees C to 75.0 degree
KonstantinChe [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1031.4 Calories.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Mass of the copper metal = 50.0 g

Initial temperature = 21.0 °C

Final temperature, = 75°C

Change in temperature = 54°C

Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.382 Cal/g°C

We are required to calculate the amount of heat in calories required to raise the temperature of the copper metal;

Quantity of heat is given by the formula,

Q = Mass × specific heat capacity × change in temperature

   = 50.0 g × 0.382 Cal/g°C × 54 °C

   = 1031.4 Calories

Thus, the amount of heat energy required is 1031.4 Calories.
