Answer:

3.5 kWh

1.2 kWh are lost

Explanation:

65=2.3/Ein*100

0.65=2.3/Ein

Ein=2.3/.65

Ein=3.5

3.5-2.3=1.2 kWh

A piece of plastic has a net charge of +9.9 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (e = 1.60

Leto [7]

Answer:

The number of protons 6.19 more than electron.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge $Q=+9.9\times10^{-6}\ C$

We know that,

formula of charge

$Q = nc$

Where,

Q = total charge

n = number of protons

e = charge of electron

Put the value into the formula

$n = \dfrac{Q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{9.9\times10^{-6}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$n=6.1875\times10^{13}\ C$

According to statement of question

Divide the answer by $10^{13}$

$n=\dfrac{6.1875\times10^{13}}{10^{13}}$

$n=6.19\ C$

Hence, The number of protons 6.19 more than electron.

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?

Andrej [43]

The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".

Which would melt first, germanium with a melting point of 1210 k or gold with a melting point of 1064oc?

iren2701 [21]

Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.

The compound ethylene (C2H4) is represented by this diagram. What statement best describes the arrangement of the atoms in an et

Effectus [21]

Answer: The correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.

Explanation:

Ethylene is a compound given by the chemical formula $H_2C=CH_2$ .

The bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms or carbon and carbon atoms are covalent bonds. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms combining.

A double bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. So 2 pairs of electrons are shared which means in total of 4 electrons are shared.

Bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms are single bonds. So, a pair of electrons is shared which means that in total of 2 electrons are shared.

Hence, the correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.
