A mass spectrometer is being used to monitor air pollutants. it is difficult, however, to separate molecules with nearly equal m

ass such as Co (28.0106 u) and N2 (28.0134 u).
How large a radius of curvature must a spectrometer have if these two molecules are to be separated on the film by 0.25 mm ?

Answer:

The answer is 1250 mm

Explanation:

The path that particles move in the spectrometer is semicircular. Each of the particles has a displacement of twice the radius (2r) from the entrance to where the film is hit. According to the exercise, if the separation between the two molecules is 0.25 mm, then the difference in the radius of the molecules is equal to 0.125 mm. The ratio of mass/radius is equal for molecules, and therefore is equal to:

m = q * B * r / v

m/r = constant

(m/r)CO = (m/r)N = (28.0106 u/r) = (28.0134 u/(r + 0.000125 m))

Clearing and solving r:

r = 1.25 m = 1250 mm

Explain how polarization of a cell increases the cell's internal resistance.<br>(2<br>2.​
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation: The chemical action that occurs in the cell while the current is flowing causes hydrogen bubbles to form on the surface of the anode. This action is called POLARIZATION. Some hydrogen bubbles rise to the surface of the electrolyte and escape into the air, some remain on the surface of the anode. If enough bubbles remain around the anode, the bubbles form a barrier that increases internal resistance. When the internal resistance of the cell increases, the output current is decreased and the voltage of the cell also decreases.

   A cell that is heavily polarized has no useful output. There are several methods to prevent polarization or to depolarize the cell.

   One method uses a vent on the cell to permit the hydrogen to escape into the air. A disadvantage of this method is that hydrogen is not available to reform into the electrolyte during recharging. This problem is solved by adding water to the electrolyte, such as in an automobile battery. A second method is to use material that is rich in oxygen, such as manganese dioxide, which supplies free oxygen to combine with the hydrogen and form water.

   A third method is to use a material that will absorb the hydrogen, such as calcium. The calcium releases hydrogen during the charging process. All three methods remove enough hydrogen so that the cell is practically free from polarization.

LOCAL ACTION

   When the external circuit is removed, the current ceases to flow, and, theoretically, all chemical action within the cell stops. However, commercial zinc contains many impurities, such as iron, carbon, lead, and arsenic. These impurities form many small electrical cells within the zinc electrode in which current flows between the zinc and its impurities. Thus, the chemical action continues even though the cell itself is not connected to a load.

   Local action may be prevented by using pure zinc (which is not practical), by coating the zinc with mercury, or by adding a small percentage of mercury to the zinc during the manufacturing process. The treatment of the zinc with mercury is called amalgamating (mixing) the zinc. Since mercury is many times heavier than an equal volume of water, small particles of impurities weighing less than mercury will float to the surface of the mercury. The removal of these impurities from the zinc prevents local action. The mercury is not readily acted upon by the acid. When the cell is delivering current to a load, the mercury continues to act on the impurities in the zinc. This causes the impurities to leave the surface of the zinc electrode and float to the surface of the mercury. This process greatly increases the storage life of the cell.

. What is the relationship between potential energy, kinetic energy, and speed as the skater moves down and up the U-shaped ramp
kykrilka [37]
Top of the U ramp: potential energy is the highest, while kinetic energy is the lowest

Bottom of the U ramp(aka the curve part): potential energy is the lowest and the kinetic energy is the highest

THEREFORE, PE and KE have an INVERSE RELATIONSHIP.

A 51-kg woman runs up a vertical flight of stairs in 5.0 s. Her net upward displacement is 5.0 m. Approximately, what average po
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The average power the woman exerts is 0.5 kW

Explanation:

We note that power, P = The rate at which work is done = Work/Time

Work = Energy

The total work done is the potential energy gained which is the energy due to vertical displacement

Given that the vertical displacement = 5.0 m, we have

Total work done = Potential energy gained = Mass, m × Acceleration due to gravity, g × Vertical height, h

m = 51 kg

g = Constant = 9.81 m/s²

h = 5.0 m

Also, time, t = 5.0 s

Total work done = 51 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 5 m = 2501.55 kg·m²/s² = 2501.55 J

P = 2501.55 J/(5 s) = 500.31 J/s = 500.31 W ≈ 500 W = 0.5 kW.
