Answer:

The answer for this is that for converting lead into gold we need to change the amount of protons in lead which with help in converting it to the gold.

Explanation:

Lead (atomic number is 82) and gold (atomic number is 79) are characterized by the protons density which they possess as components. Changing the factor involves modification of the amount of the atom (proton). It is difficult to change the amount of protons in an atom through any chemical Reaction.

Physics can, therefore, be used to attach or subtract protons and thereby turn one part into another. Since lead is solid, it is pushed out and the gold is surpassed.

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the speed of the electron is approximately 2.2 106 m/s.
Murrr4er [49]

The central force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit is 9.52 \times 10^{-8} \ N.

The given parameters;

  • <em>speed of electron, v = 2.2 x 10⁶ m/s</em>
  • <em>radius of the circle, r = 4.63 x 10⁻¹¹ m</em>

<em />

The central force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit is calculated as follows;

F = \frac{M_e v^2}{r} \\\\

where;

M_e is mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

F = \frac{(9.11 \times 10^{-31}) \times(2.2\times 10^6)^2 }{4.63 \times 10^{-11}} \\\\F = 9.52 \times 10^{-8} \ N

Thus, the central force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit is 9.52 \times 10^{-8} \ N.

0.5-lbm of a saturated vapor is converted to asaturated liquid by being cooled in a weighted piston-cylinder device maintained a
klio [65]

Answer:

The boiling point temperature of this substance when its pressure is 60 psia is  480.275 R

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using the Clapeyron equation

(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } = \frac{h_{fg}}{Tv_{fg}}

(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } = \frac{\frac{H_{fg}}{m} }{T\frac{V_{fg}}{m} }

where h_{fg is the change in enthalpy of saturated vapor to saturated liquid ( 250 Btu

T is the temperature ( 15 + 460 )R

m is the mass of water ( 0.5 Ibm )

V_{fg is specific volume ( 1.5 ft³ )

we substitute

(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } =( \frac{250Btu\frac{778Ibf-ft}{Btu} }{0.5}) / ( (15+460)\frac{1.5}{0.5})  

(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } = 272.98 Ibf-ft²/R

Now,

(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } = (\frac{P_2 - P_1}{T_2 - T_1})_{sat

where P₁ is the initial pressure ( 50 psia )

P₂ is the final pressure ( 60 psia )

T₁ is the initial temperature ( 15 + 460 )R

T₂ is the final temperature = ?

we substitute;

T_2 = ( 15 + 460 ) + \frac{(60-50)psia(\frac{144in^2}{ft^2}) }{272.98}

T_2 = 475 + 5.2751\\

T_2 = 480.275 R

Therefore, boiling point temperature of this substance when its pressure is 60 psia is  480.275 R
