Answer:

Explanation:

There are three physical properties of matter that involves solid, liquid and gas.

The last statement is correct as it says: boiling and melting points are similar as both changes the physical state of matter. But are different as boiling point changes liquid into gas for example: liquid at high boiling point changes into vapors (gas) and melting point changes solid into liquid for example: ice at high melting point changes into liquid.

Hence, the correct option is "D".

A steel casting weighing 2 kg has an initial temperature of 500°c; 25 kg of water initially at 25°c is contained in a perfectly

SCORPION-xisa [38]

<span> Plan: Use Q = m · c · ΔT three times. Hot casting cools ΔT_hot = 500°C - Tf. Cold water and steel tank heat ΔT_cold = Tf - 25°C. Set Q from hot casting cooling = Q from cold tank heating.
here
m_cast · c_steel · ΔT_hot = (m_tank · c_steel + m_water · c_water) · ΔT_cold

m_cast · c_steel · (500°C - Tf) = (m_tank · c_steel + m_water · c_water) · (Tf - 25°C)

2.5 kg · 0.50 kJ/(kg K°) · (500°C - Tf) = (5 kg· 0.50 kJ/(kg K°) + 40 kg· 4.18 kJ/(kg K°)) · (Tf - 25°C)

Solve for Tf, remember that K° = C° (i.e. for ΔT's) </span>

What is the highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization?

lakkis [162]

Highest energy photon absorbed: $2.18\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

An atom is said to be (positively) ionised when it absorbs a photon, and as a consequence, an electron becomes energetic enough to escape the atom, leaving an excess of positive charge behind.

In order for the electron to escape, the energy of the absorbed photon must be exactly equal to the (negative) energy of the level in which the electron lies.

For an hydrogen atom, the energy levels are given by

$E_n = -13.6 \frac{1}{n^2}$

where this energy is measured in electronvolts, and n is the number of the energy level.

Since the energy is negative, this means that the electron which requires most energy is the one lying in the ground state (n=1). Therefore, for an electron in the ground state, the most energy that can be absorbed from the incoming photon is

$E_1 = -13.6 eV$
