Suppose 1 kg of Hydrogen is converted into Helium. a) What is the mass of the He produced? b) How much energy is released in thi
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) m = 993 g

b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Explanation:

atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794

4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176

we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602

difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158

fraction of mass lost = \dfrac{0.029158}{4.03176}= 0.00723

loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23

a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)

b) energy released in the process

E = m c²

E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²

E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

How many electrons are depicted in the electron dot diagram of an electrically neutral nitrogen atom? A. two B. six C. eight D.
goldenfox [79]

Answer is D - five.


<em>Explanation;</em>


- Electron dot diagrams show the valence electrons around the element by using dots.


- Valence electrons are the electrons which are in outermost shell of the atom.


-The atomic number of the N atom is 7.

      Atomic number = number of protons = 7

  If the atom is neutral,

      number of protons = number of electrons.


  Hence, N atom has 7 electrons.


- The electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³.


Hence, N atom has 2 + 3 = 5 valence electrons. So, five electrons are represented in electron dot diagram of N.

Which would have the longer orbital period: a moon 1 million km from the center of Jupiter, or a moon 1 million km from the cent
Harman [31]

Answer:

earth

Explanation:

The formula for the orbital period of the moon is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r}{g}}

As the time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity of the planet.

As the value of acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is more than the earth, so the period of moon around the earth is large as compared to the period of the moon around the Jupiter when the distance is same.

In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume. In doing so, 1850 J of work is done on the gas
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The value of change in internal l energy of the gas = 1850 J

Explanation:

Work done on the gas (W) =  - 1850 J

Negative sign is due to work done on the system.

From the first law  we know that Q = Δ U + W ------------- (1)

Where Q = Heat transfer to the gas

Δ U = Change in internal energy of the gas

W = work done on the gas

Since it is adiabatic compression of the gas so heat transfer to the gas is zero.

⇒ Q = 0

So from equation (1)

⇒ Δ U = - W ----------------- (2)

⇒ W = - 1850 J (Given)

⇒ Δ U = - (- 1850)

⇒ Δ U = + 1850 J

This is the value of change in internal energy of the gas.

A wheel initially spinning at wo = 50.0 rad/s comes to a halt in 20.0 seconds. Determine the constant angular acceleration and t
svetlana [45]

Answer:

(I). The angular acceleration and number of revolution are -2.5 rad/s² and 500 rad.

(II). The torque is 84.87 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial spinning = 50.0 rad/s

Time = 20.0

Distance = 2.5 m

Mass of pole = 4 kg

Angle = 60°

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular velocity

\omega=-\alpha t

\alpha=-\dfrac{\omega}{t}

\alpha=-\dfrac{50.0}{20.0}

\alpha=-2.5\ rad/s^2

The angular acceleration is -2.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the number of revolution

Using angular equation of motion

\theta=\omega_{0}t+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t

Put the value into the formula

\theta=50\times20-\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.5\times20^2

\theta=500\ rad

The number of revolution is 500 rad.

(II). We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

\vec{\tau}=\vec{r}\times\vec{f}

\tau=r\times f\sin\theta

Put the value into the formula

\tau=2.5\times4\times 9.8\sin60

\tau=84.87\ N-m

Hence, (I). The angular acceleration and number of revolution are -2.5 rad/s² and 500 rad.

(II). The torque is 84.87 N-m.
