Chemistry

Explanation:

Both conduction and convection are both forms of heat transfer from one place to another.

In conduction, there must be contact between two bodies for the process to take place but in convection, the matter moves to transfer heat.
Conduction mostly occurs in solid substances whereas convection occurs mostly in fluids.
Heat transfer in conduction is quite slow compared to convection which is much faster.

Example of conduction is heating of iron pot when cooking

Example of convection is the refrigerating system.

What’s the distance from the nucleus of an atom to its theoretical outer edge of electron orbits

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The range of atoms = (30-300 pm) depending upon the element

Explanation:

The Atomic radii of the atom is the distance from the center of the circle to the outermost orbital.

The center of the circle is the nucleus and the radii is the outermost boundary.

The actual size of the atom is decided on the basis of the Zeff . Also known as <em>effective nuclear charge.</em>

<em>Zeff: It is the net positive charge felt by the outermost electron by the nucleus.</em>

<em>The value of Zeff depends upon the shielding constant. More the shielding less will be the Zeff . Hence the size of the atom increases.</em>

Due to shielding the outermost electrons feel less pull of nucleus.

<em>The greater the Zeff , the smaller the radius of the atom.</em>

The formula used to calculate the atomic mass is :

$r_{n}=\frac{52.9n^{2}}{Z}$ pm

Here "pm"= picometers

$1 pm = 10^{-12}m$

<u>The size of the smallest atom H-atom = 120 pm</u>

<u>The range of atoms = (30-300 pm)</u>

These are two questions and two answers

Question 1.

Answer:

<u>7.33 × 10 ⁻³ c</u>

Explanation:

a) m = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg

b) λ = 3.31 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

c) c = 3.00 10⁸ m/s

d) s = ?

<u>2) Formula:</u>

The wavelength (λ), the speed (s), and the mass (m) of the particles are reltated by the Einstein-Planck's equation:

λ = h / (m.s)

h is Planck's constant: h= 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s

<u>3) Solution:</u>

Solve for s:

s = h / (m.λ)

Substitute:

s = 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s / ( 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg × 3.31 × 10⁻¹⁰ m) = 2.20 × 10 ⁶ m/s

To express the speed relative to the speed of light, divide by c = 3.00 10⁸ m/s

s = 2.20 × 10 ⁶ m/s / 3.00 10⁸ m/s = 7.33 × 10 ⁻³

Answer: s = 7.33 × 10 ⁻³ c

Question 2.

Answer:

2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m.

Explanation:

a) m = 45.9 g (0.0459 kg)

b) s = 70.0 m/s

b) λ = ?

<u>2) Formula:</u>

Macroscopic matter follows the same Einstein-Planck's equation, but the wavelength is so small that cannot be detected:

λ = h / (m.s)

h is Planck's constant: h= 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s

<u>3) Solution:</u>

λ = h / (m.s)

Substitute:

λ = 6.626×10⁻³⁴J.s / ( 0.0459 kg × 70.0 m/s) = 2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m

As you see, that is tiny number and explains why the wave nature of the golf ball is undetectable.

Answer: 2.06 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m.

The density of copper is 8.92 g/mL. The mass of a piece of copper that has a volume of 10.3 mL is

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of copper = 10.3 mL

density = 8.92 g/mL

The mass is

mass = 8.92 × 10.3 = 91.876

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
