Explain why metals can conduct electricity and heat well

Chemistry
1 answer:
bekas [8.4K]3 years ago

Electric current is the flow of electrons in a wire. In metals, the outer electrons of the atoms belong to a 'cloud' of delocalised electrons. They are no longer firmly held by a specific atom, but instead they can move freely through the lattice of positive metal ions. ... Metals are good conductors of heat.

Dolomite, [CaMg(CO3)2] is found in a soil sample. A geochemist titrates 24.65 g of soil with 57.85 mL of 0.3315M HCl. What is th
pshichka [43]

In order to find out the %mass dolomite in the soil, calculate for the mass of dolomite using the information given from the titration procedure. You would need to multiply 57.85 ml with 0.3315 M HCl and you would get the amount of HCl in millimoles. Then multiply the amount of HCl with 1/2 (given that for every 1 mol of dolomite, 2 mol of HCl would be needed). Convert the amount of dolomite to mass by multiplying the millimoles with the molecular weight which is 184.399. Then convert the mass to grams which is 1.768 grams. Divide the mass of dolomite (1.768 grams) with the weight of soil sample. The % mass is 7.17.

Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

Problem 12.002 the molar analysis of a gas mixture at 30°c, 2 bar is 40% n2, 50% co2, 10% ch4. determine
andreev551 [17]
The problem is incomplete. However, there can only be two probable questions for this problem. First, you can be asked the individual partial pressures of each gas. Second, you can be asked the volume occupied by each gas. I can answer both cases for you.

1.

Let's assume ideal gas.
Pressure for N₂: 2 bar*0.4 = 0.8 bar
Pressure for CO₂: 2 bar*0.5 = 1 bar
Pressure for CH₄: 2 bar*0.1 = 0.2 bar

2. For the volume, let's find the total volume first.

V = nRT/P = (1 mol)(8.314 J/mol-K)(30 +273 K)/(2 bar*10⁵ Pa/1 bar)
V = 0.0126 m³
Hence,
Volume for N₂: 0.0126 bar*0.4 = 0.00504 m³
Volume for CO₂: 0.0126*0.5 = 0.0063 m³
Volume for CH₄: 0.0126*0.1 = 0.00126 m³

A solution contains 15.27 grams of NaCl in 0.670 kg water at 25 °C. What is the vapor pressure of the solution?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The vapor pressure of the solution is 23.636 torr

Explanation:

P_{solution} = X_{solvent}*P_{solvent}

Where;

P_{solution is the vapor pressure of the solution

X_{solvent is the mole fraction of the solvent

P_{solvent is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent

Thus,

15.27 g of NaCl = [(15.27)/(58.5)]moles = 0.261 moles of NaCl

0.67 kg of water =  [(0.67*1000)/(18)]moles = 37.222 moles of H₂O

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (number of moles of water)/(total number of moles present in solution)

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = (37.222)/(37.222+0.261)

Mole fraction of solvent (water) = 0.993

<u>Note:</u> the vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 0.0313 atm

Therefore, the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.993 * 0.0313 atm

the vapor pressure of the solution = 0.0311 atm = 23.636 torr
