Answer:

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of gold  = 15.3 grams

Heat absorbed = 87.2 J

Initial temperature = 35.0 °C

Final temperature = 79.2 °C

Step 2:

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q =the heat absorbed = 87.2 J

⇒ m = the mass of gold = 15.3 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 79.2 - 35.0 = 44.2 °C

87.2 J = 15.3g * c * 44.2°C

c = 87.2 / (15.3 * 44.2)

c = 0.129 J/g°C

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C

Suppose a new group 5A element is discovered. Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) reveals that its last two peaks occur at 1370 kJ/
iren2701 [21]

Answer: The average valence electron energy (AVEE) of this element =

1014.2 KJ/ mol  or  1.0142mJ/mol.

Explanation:

The average valence electron energy =  (number of electrons in s subshell  x  Ionization energy of that subshell) + (number of electrons in p subshell  x  Ionization energy of that subshell) / total number of electrons in both subshells of the valence shells.

The 5A elements are non-metals like Nitrogen and Phosphorus with the metallic character increasing as you go down the group, So a new 5A element will have characteristics of its group with 5 valence electron in its outermost shell represented as ns2 np3

Therefore  the average valence electron energy (AVEE) of this element will be calculated as

The average valence electron energy = (2 x 1370  kJ/mol + 3 x 777 kJ/mol.) / 5

2740+2331/ 5 =5071/5

=1014.2 KJ/ mol  or  1.0142mJ/mol.

What is the lower concentration limit (vol%) at which a mixture of ethanol in air can explode?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of ethanol = 3.3%

Explanation:

In the case of alcohol, ethanol presents certain fire hazards. Its momentary flash point is 55ºF (12.9ºC), while the momentary flash point of gasoline is -45ºF (-42.8ºC), and the E85 mixture ranges between -20ºF and -4ºF (between -28 , 9ºC and -20ºC), and has a wider range of flammability limits than gasoline. For emergency response teams, this implies that during a release of the typical ethanol / gasoline mixture, the fuel can be expected to behave like gasoline: It is heavier than air - as we mentioned earlier - and can produce vapors and form flammable mixtures in the air, under most environmental conditions.

General properties and comparison with other inflambles products:

Flash point momentary Gasoline = -45 ° F

<u>Ethanol</u> = 55 ° F

E 85 = between -20º and -4º F

<u>Flammability limits </u>

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of ethanol = 3.3%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) = 19%

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of the mixture E 85 = 1.4%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) 85 = 19%

Lower explosive limit (LEL) of gasoline = 1.4%

Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) = 7.6%

They have a wider range than gasoline

Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation:
liq [111]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave              Wavelength

(1) Microwave  =   1 m to 1 mm = 10^9 nm to 10^6 nm

(2) Ultraviolet  =    10 nm to 400 nm

(3) Radio waves  =   1 mm to 100 km = 10^6 nm to 10^{14}nm

(4) Infrared  =    700 nm to 1 mm

(5) X-ray  =   0.01 nm to 10 nm

(6) Visible =   400 nm t0 700 nm

a) In order of increasing wavelength:

: 5 < 2 < 6 < 4 < 1 < 3

b) Frequency of the electromagnetic wave given as:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu = frequency

\lambda = Wavelength

c = speed of light

\nu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }

So, the increasing order of frequency:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

c) Energy(E) of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation :

E=h\nu

E\propto \nu

So, the increasing order of energy:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5
