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.

Explain why you get a basic solution when you dissolve NaF in water.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

That's because in water NaF will dissolve to produce Na+,the conjugate base of a strong acid which will not react with water.however F- will behave like a bronsted base, and accept a proton from water.this is called hydrolysis reaction, because a molecule of water is broken up.

a conjugate base is what I leftover after an acid loses a hydrogen ion.

I hope this helps

When the equal molar amounts of of both the acid and the base were reacts, what happened in the reaction?

Advocard [28]

It is going to be reaction of neutralization, and water and salt will be formed. If acid and base are strong, the reaction of the solution should become neutral.

What are the n, l, and possible ml values for the 2p and 5f sublevels?

elixir [45]

Answer:

1. 2p sublevels, n = 2, orbital p, l = 1, ml = 0, ±1

2. 5f sublevels n = 5, orbital f, l = 3, ml = 0, ±1, ±2, ±3

Explanation:

The rules for electron quantum numbers are:

1. Shell number, 1 ≤ n

2. Subshell number, 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1

3. Orbital energy shift, -l ≤ ml ≤ l

4. Spin, either -1/2 or +1/2

So,

1. 2p sublevels,

n = 2, orbital p, so l = 1, ml = 0, ±1

2. 5f sublevels

n = 5, orbital f, so l = 3, ml = 0, ±1, ±2, ±3
