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.
1. An ion is a charged atom. A molecule is a neutrally-charged combination of atoms.
2. A molecule is a combination of atoms. It can consist of atoms from one or more elements. For example, an oxygen molecule comprises two oxygen atoms. A compound is a substance made up of a combination of atoms of different elements. For example, water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen.
3. An electron dot diagram is a simple way of representing the bond and electronic structure of molecules. A formula is a written representation of the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule.
4. As above...a formula denotes which atoms are in a molecule and how many. For example, H2SO4 tells us there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and four oxygen atoms in each molecule of sulfuric acid.
5. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that stems from electrostatic attraction between ions with opposite charges. A covalent bond is another type of chemical bond that involves sharing of electrons between atoms in order to achieve a stable electronic structure for the molecule as a whole.
Answer:
Explanation:
The volume and amount are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac’s Law:
At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
Data:
p₁ = 1520 Torr; T₁ = 27 °C
p₂ = ?; T₂ = 150 °C
Calculations:
(a) Convert the temperatures to kelvins
T₁ = ( 27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K
T₂ = (150 + 273.15) K = 423.15 K
(b) Calculate the new pressure
(c) Convert the pressure to atmospheres
Rutherford's model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths. ... It was after this that Rutherford began developing his model of the atom.
