Why is thermal energy produced not generally usable to do work? A. Because the thermal energy dissipates too quickly and is not

concentrated enough to be used B. Because this energy is lost to the universe C. Because thermal energy is a form of energy that cannot be used to do any work D. Because thermal energy does not have the same equivalent to do work as other forms

Answer: Option a

Explanation: Thermal energy can be defined as using heat as a form of energy for doing work. It can be used for various processes.

But there is a problem associated with this energy, that is the thermal energy dessipiates very fastly and so it cannot be used as a form of energy for doing work.

It cools down very fastly and so it cannot be used as a source.

A space probe on the surface of mars sends a radio signal back to earth,a distance of 7.19 ×10⁷ km. Radio travel at the speed of
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

240 seconds

Explanation:

Data Given:

Distance Radio travel to earth = 7.19 ×10⁷ km

Speed of this radio signal = 3.00 ×10⁸ m/s

Solution:

First convert Km to m

1 km = 1000 m

7.19 ×10⁷ km = 7.19 ×10⁷ x 1000 = 7.19 × 10¹⁰m

Formula used to calculate time

            Speed (S) = distance (d) / time (t)

rearrange above equation for time

            time (t) = distance (d) / Speed (S) . . . . . . . . .(1)

Put values in equation 1

            time (t) = 7.19 × 10¹⁰/ 3.00 ×10⁸ m/s

            time (t) = 240 s

So 240 seconds it take for the signal to reach the earth

When dissolved in water, hydrogen bromide (hbr) forms hydrobromic acid. determine the hydroxide ion concentration in a 4,500 ml
vovikov84 [41]

No of moles of HBr = 3.78g / 80.9 = 0.0467moles 
 Molarity = Number of moles/ volume. So we have 0.0467 / 4.5 = 0.0103M. 
 Kw = 1.0 x 10 -14 = [H3O+] [OH-] and [OH-] = 1.0 x 10^(-14) / [H3O+] 
 So [OH-] = 1.0 * 10^(-14) /1.03 *10^(-2) = 0.9703 * 10^(-12) M

Consider the following reaction mechanism:
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>

Explanation:

The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.

That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.

Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:

  • 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.

  • 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.

  • 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.

The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.

Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.

How many liters of fluorine gas, at 298 K and 0.98 atm, will react with 23.5 grams of potassium metal? Show all of the work used
Sliva [168]
For the reaction 2 K + F2 --> 2 KF,
consider K atomic wt. = 39
23.5 g of K = 0.603 moles, hence following the molar ratio of the balanced equation, 0.603 moles of potassium will use 0.3015 moles of F2. (number of moles, n = 0.3015)

Now, following the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT
P = 0.98 atm
V = unknown
n = 0.3015 moles
R = 82.057 cm^3 atm K^-1mole^-1 (unit of R chosen to match the units of other parameters; see the reference below)
T = 298 K
Solving for V,
V = (nRT)/P = (0.3015 mol * 82.057 cm^3 atm K^-1 mol^-1 * 298 K)/(0.98 atm)
<span> solve it to get 7517.6 cm^3 as the volume of F2 = 7.5176 liters of F2 gas is needed. </span>
