The building block of silicate minerals is called silicon - oxygen tetrahedron (this is the option A)<span>. This silicate ion is Si O4 (4-); it consists of one atom of Si, located in the center of a tetrahedron and surrounded by 4 atoms of O, located in the vertices of the tetrahedron. Given that the SiO4 (4-) ions have a negative charge of 4, they will bond to four metallic cations, each with 1 positive charge.</span>

How is electromagnetic energy fromthe microwave transformed into heat energy
zysi [14]

Answer:


First, the microwaves transmit kinetic energy to the water molecules of the food, heating the water molecules. Only, those that are not very deep into the food.


Second, the hot water molecules transmit heat by conduction to the other parts of the food.


Explanation:


1) Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The same as any wave, they carry energy.


2) The wave length of microwaves are in the range of 0.001 mm to 1 m (shorter than radio waves and longer than infrared)


3) The microwaves of an oven, used to heat food, have a wave length aroun 12 cm.


4) The microwaves transmit energy to the water molecules in the food, by increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules. As result, the water molecules get hotter. Microwaves only penetrate about 1 cm inside the food (a potato for example) and from that the heat is transferred by conduction to the inner parts of the food.

lana66690 [7]

The heat will flow from copper to aluminum because Cu is at higher temperature. The heat liberated is -7.60kJ

When two metals at different temperatures are kept in contact, heat flows from hotter metal to colder metal until thermal equilibrium is reached.

Here Copper is at a temperature of 60 degree Celsius and aluminum is at 40 degree Celsius. Thus, heat will flow from Cu to Al.

In order to calculate the amount of heat liberated following calculations are required.

m1=262 g

T1=87 oC

Cp=0.385 J/g oC

T2=11.8 oC

The heat liberated can be expressed as follows:

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Q=262 g*0.385 J/goC(11.8-87)oC

Q=-7585 J

=-7.60kJ
