What layer of the Sun is the location for nuclear fusion?

1 answer:

8 0

The core is at the center. It the hottest region, where the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun occur. Moving outward, next comes the radiative (or radiation) zone. Its name is derived from the way energy is carried outward through this layer, carried by photons as thermal radiation.

Boiling water is a physical change, because it is changing state of matter, there is a controllable temperature change, and you can change it back.

Frying the egg white is a chemical change, because there is a change of matter, controllable temperature change, but you CAN'T change it back.

What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.0×1015Hz?

RideAnS [48]

The kinetic energy of the emitted electrons of cesium when it is exposed to UV rays of frequency $1.0 \times {10^{15}}\;{\text{Hz}}$ is $\boxed{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}\;{\text{J}}}$

Further Explanation:

Photoelectric effect:

When light is made to fall on any substance, electrons are emitted from it. This is known as the photoelectric effect and the emitted electrons are called photoelectrons. The electrons are emitted because of the transference of energy from light to the electrons.

Cesium is a member of the alkali metal group so it is highly reactive and shows photoelectric effect to the maximum extent. It can remove its electron so easily because of its atomic size. Due to large atomic size of cesium, its outermost electrons are held very less tightly to the nucleus and therefore removed easily.

According to the Planck-Einstein equation, the energy is proportional to the frequency and is expressed as follows:

${\mathbf{E=h\nu }}$ ......(1)

Here,

${\text{E}}$ is the energy.

$h$ is the Plank’s constant.

$\nu$ is the frequency.

The frequency of UV rays is $1.0 \times {10^{15}}\;{\text{Hz}}$ or $1.0 \times {10^{15}}\;{{\text{s}}^{ - 1}}$

The value of Planck’s constant is $6.626 \times {10^{ - 34}}\;{\text{J}}\cdot{\text{s}}$ .

Substitute these values in equation (1)

$\begin{aligned}{\text{E}}&=\left( {6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}\;{\text{J}}\cdot{\text{s}}}\right)\left( {1.0 \times {{10}^{15}}\;{{\text{s}}^{ - 1}}}\right)\\&=6.63\times {10^{ - 19}}\;{\text{J}}\\\end{aligned}$

But when electrons are ejected out from the surface of the substance, all of its energy is considered as kinetic energy.

So the kinetic energy of the electrons is ${\mathbf{6}}{\mathbf{.63 \times 1}}{{\mathbf{0}}^{{\mathbf{ - 19}}}}\;{\mathbf{J}}$ .

If the solubility of KCl in 100 mL of H₂O is 34 g at 20 °C and 43 g at 50 °C, label each of the following solutions as unsaturat

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

a) Unsaturated

b) Supersaturated

c) Unsaturated

Explanation:

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature.

An unsaturated solution contains less solute than it has the capacity to dissolve.

A supersaturated solution, contains more solute than is present in a saturated solution. Supersaturated solutions are not very stable. In time, some of the solute will come out of a supersaturated solution as crystals.

According to these definitions and considering that the solubility of KCl in 100 mL of H₂O at 20 °C is 34 g, and at 50 °C is 43 g we can label the solutions:

a) 30 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 20 °C ⇒ unsaturated

b) 65 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 50 °C ⇒ supersaturated

c) 42 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 50 °C and slowly cooling to 20 °C to give a clear solution with no precipitate ⇒ unsaturated (if it were saturated it would have had precipitate)

A weather balloon is filled with helium that occupies a volume of 5.57 104 L at 0.995 atm and 32.0°C. After it is released, it r

Alchen [17]

6.52 × 10⁴ L. (3 sig. fig.)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Helium is a noble gas. The interaction between two helium molecules is rather weak, which makes the gas rather "ideal."

Consider the ideal gas law:

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T$ ,

where

$P$ is the pressure of the gas,
$V$ is the volume of the gas,
$n$ is the number of gas particles in the gas,
$R$ is the ideal gas constant, and
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas in degrees Kelvins.

The question is asking for the final volume $V$ of the gas. Rearrange the ideal gas equation for volume:

$V = \dfrac{n \cdot R \cdot T}{P}$ .

Both the temperature of the gas, $T$ , and the pressure on the gas changed in this process. To find the new volume of the gas, change one variable at a time.

Start with the absolute temperature of the gas:

$T_0 = (32.0 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 305.15\;\text{K}$ ,
$T_1 = (-14.5 + 273.15) \;\text{K} = 258.65\;\text{K}$ .

The volume of the gas is proportional to its temperature if both $n$ and $P$ stay constant.

$n$ won't change unless the balloon leaks, and
consider $P$ to be constant, for calculations that include $T$ .

$V_1 = V_0 \cdot \dfrac{T_1}{T_2} = 5.57\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times \dfrac{258.65\;\textbf{K}}{305.15\;\textbf{K}} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}$ .

Now, keep the temperature at $T_1 =258.65\;\text{K}$ and change the pressure on the gas:

$P_1 = 0.995\;\text{atm}$ ,
$P_2 = 0.720\;\text{atm}$ .

The volume of the gas is proportional to the reciprocal of its absolute temperature $\dfrac{1}{T}$ if both $n$ and $T$ stays constant. In other words,

$V_2 = V_1 \cdot\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{P_2}}{\dfrac{1}{P_1}} = V_1\cdot\dfrac{P_1}{P_2} = 4.72122\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}\times\dfrac{0.995\;\text{atm}}{0.720\;\text{atm}}=6.52\times 10^{4}\;\text{L}$

(3 sig. fig. as in the question.).

See if you get the same result if you hold $T$ constant, change $P$ , and then move on to change $T$ .
