Answer:

Explanation:

A solar collector is a device that absords Sun's heat energy to heat air or water. It is majorly used for heating purpose, and do not generate electricity directly.

The flow tubes and collector plate are black in color so as to increase the intensity of heat generated by the collector. A black body is a good absorber of heat, it absorbs most heat directed to the collector. Also, a black body is a good radiator of heat, the heat absorbed is rediated to the appropriate channels for the heating of water or air molecules. The black color increases the efficeincy and percentage of solar energy absorbed by the collector.

If a reflective color is used (e.g white), major percentage of the incident heat would be reflected. This would decrease the efficiency of the solar collector.

How does a greenhouse keep radiant energy from escaping?
Rina8888 [55]
Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping sun radiation in the earth surface, so as to make the planet warm. It is a natural phenomenon in which sun rays that enters the earth surface are re-radiated into the earth surface causing the heat trap in the earth.
In similar manner, green house also trap radiation inside the glass house. The sun rays once reach inside the glass house, strike on plants and objects and reflected back. For entire radiation to escape from the green house, the heat flow between the two points must be proportional to the temperature difference and thermal conductivity. The glass of which the green house are made up, have low thermal conductivity. So, temperature must rise inside glass house so to maintain the heat flow rate of incoming and outgoing radiation.
The green house glass are insulated and they trap the infrared emitted by the objects inside the green house from escaping outside. Since the infrared have longer wave lengths, it is released slowly. 

Also, the thermal energy inside the glass house are transferred by convection process. But the glass walls and roof act as insulator, keeping the radiant energy from escaping outside the green house.<span />

How much heat is required to vaporize 43.9 g of acetone at its boiling point?
bogdanovich [222]
The heat required to vaporize 43.9 g  of acetone  at its boiling point is calculated as  below

 the heat of vaporization of acetone at its boiling  point is  29.1 kj/mole

find the moles of  acetone = mass/molar mass
= 43.9g /58 g/mol =0.757 moles

heat (Q) = moles x heat of vaporization

= 29.1 kj/mole  x 0.757 moles = 22.03 kj

How would you seprate a mixture of sand and salt?
lys-0071 [83]
First, you mix the salt and sand with water, so the salt dissolves. Next, you filter the sand out, so you have the slat water and sand separated. Then, you evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind.
