Answer:

350J

Explanation:

Based on the first law of thermodynamics, which is the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor lost but can only be transformed. This implies that energy input of a system must equate the energy output as no energy can be lost.

In this case regarding an unlit match that contains 1000J of chemical energy. It burns to emit light energy and heat/thermal energy. If the amount of emitted thermal energy measured is 400J and the remaining/left over amount of chemical energy is 250J, this means that the missing amount of energy has been emitted as light energy.

To find the amount of light energy emitted, we say;

Amount of chemical energy - (thermal energy emitted + remaining chemical energy)

= 1000 - (400 + 250)

= 1000 - 650

= 350J

Hence, the amount of light energy emitted is 350J. This satisfies the law of conservation of energy because the output energy is equal to the total energy in the system.

A student has to create a model of a convex lens. Which property of a convex lens should the student include in the model?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

A.  The lens spreads light.

Explanation:

The convex lens will converge the light that passes through it. The direction of light will be bend to be closer to the middle point. This is the lens used for the eyeglass that treat people with hypermetropia. That is why the convex lens also called a converging lens or a plus lens. The strength of the convex lens depends on its focal length, index of the material used, and the radius of curvature.

Write the electron configuration for Silicon
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Si₁₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p²

Explanation:

Silicon is present in group 14 of periodic table.

It is blue-gray color metalloid.

Its atomic mass is 28 g/mol.

It is mostly used to make allow.

The most important alloy are Al-Si and Fe-Si. These are used to make different machine tools, transformer plates, engine etc.

Its atomic number is 14 and electronic configuration can be written as,

Electronic configuration:

Si₁₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p²

The noble gas electronic configuration or abbreviated electronic configuration can also be written.

Si₁₄ = [Ne] 3s² 3p²

The atomic number of neon is 10. Its electronic configuration is,

Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

That's why we write [Ne] for 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ in abbreviated electronic configuration of Si.

Suppose 3.68g of zinc was allowed to react with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. How much zinc chlor
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Percent yield = 86.2%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of zinc = 3.68 g

Mass of zinc chloride = ?

Percent yield = ?

Actual yield = 7.12 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Zn + 2HCl  → ZnCl₂  + H₂

Number of moles of zinc:

Number of moles  = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 3.68 g / 65.38 g/mol

Number of moles  = 0.06 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ZnCl₂ with zinc.

                 Zn            :               ZnCl₂

                  1               :               1

                 0.06           :            0.06

Theoretical yield of zinc chloride:        

Mass of ZnCl₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of ZnCl₂ = 0.06 mol × 136.286 g/mol

Mass of ZnCl₂ =  8.2 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 7.12 g/ 8.2 g × 100

Percent yield = 86.2%
