Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

50 HP = 50 x 746 watt

= 37300 watt

= 37300 J /s

heat produced in one hour = 60 x 60 x 37300 J

= 134280 x 10³ J

latent heat of vaporization = 2260 x 10³ J / kg .

for evaporation of water of mass 1 kg , 2260 x 10³ J of heat is required .

kg of water being evaporated by boiler per hour

= 134280 x 10³ / 2260 x 10³

= 59.41 kg

rate of production of steam

= 59.41 kg / hr .

You've just solved a problem and the answer is the mass of an electron, me=9.11×10−31kilograms. How would you enter this number

mihalych1998 [28]

The mass of an electron can be expressed in the box as $\boxed{{m_e} = 9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}{\text{ kg}}}$ .

Further explanation:

Atom is the smallest particle that can be present in any element. It is also known as the building unit of matter. Each atom has a central part that is known as the atomic nucleus. There are three subatomic particles that constitute the atom. These particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons. The atomic nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, both are collectively called nucleons. Electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom in definite orbits.

Protons are positively charged subatomic particles, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons have no charge. Since electrons carry a unit negative charge, these create an electric field around them. These also participate in nuclear reactions. The mass of an electron $\left( {{m_e}} \right)$ is $9.1 \times {10^{ - 31}}{\text{ kg}}$ , that of protons is $1.6726219 \times {10^{ - 27}}{\text{ kg}}$ and that of neutrons is $1.674927471 \times {10^{ - 27}}{\text{ kg}}$ . The electrons are responsible for chemical properties of elements. The distribution and arrangement of electrons is used to predict whether the element will be inert or reactive.

Therefore the required answer is $\boxed{{m_e} = 9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}{\text{ kg}}}$ .

Description (with words) of water just above melting temperature. What intermolecular forces do you expect to find in water in l

slava [35]

Answer:

intermolecular dipole-dipole hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Water is a polar molecule. Recall that the central atom in water is oxygen. The molecule is bent, hence it has an overall dipole moment directed towards the oxygen atom. Since it has a permanent dipole moment, we expect that it will show dipole-dipole interactions in the liquid state.

Similarly, water contains hydrogen and oxygen. Recall that hydrogen bonds are formed when hydrogen is covalently bonded to highly electronegative elements. Hence, water in the liquid state exhibits strong hydrogen bonding. The unique type of dipole-dipole interaction in liquid water is actually hydrogen bonding, hence the answer.
