Answer: An emission line occurs when an electron drops down to a lower orbit around the nucleus of an atom and looses energy.

An absorption line also occurs when any electron move to a higher orbit by absorbing energy.

Each atom has a unique way of using some space of the orbits and can absorb only certain energies or wavelengths.

definition of breeder reactors.

These are a type of nuclear reactors which produce more fissile material than they consume

Advantages: Breeder reactors produce Pu-239 which can be extensively used as a nuclear fuel. Also, Pu-239 can absorb neutron to form Pu-240, which is another fertile material.[1]

A 0.4000 kg sample of methanol at 16.0ºC is mixed with 0.4000 kg of water at 85.0ºC. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings,

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

T_finalmix = 59.5 [°C].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, a thermal balance must be performed, where the heat is transferred from water to methanol, at the end the temperature of the water and methanol must be equal once the thermal balance is achieved.

$Q_{water}=Q_{methanol}$

where:

$Q_{water}=m_{water}*Cp_{water}*(T_{waterinitial}-T_{final})$

mwater = mass of the water = 0.4 [kg]

Cp_water = specific heat of the water = 4180 [J/kg*°C]

T_waterinitial = initial temperature of the water = 85 [°C]

T_finalmix = final temperature of the mix [°C]

$Q_{methanol}=m_{methanol}*Cp_{methanol}*(T_{final}-T_{initialmethanol})$

Now replacing:

$0.4*4180*(85-T_{final})=0.4*2450*(T_{final}-16)\\142120-1672*T_{final}=980*T_{final}-15680\\157800=2652*T_{final}\\T_{final}=59.5[C]$

Can you please help me with these

Goryan [66]

if i am correct it should be that an atom is made up of three smaller particles and those particles i can see you have written down -Protons which are positive, Neutrons which are neutral and electrons which are negative the neutrons and protons are heavier and stay in the middle of the atom which is called the nucleus hope this helps!!
