What is an energy transformation?

1 answer:

4 0

Energy is invisible yet it's all around us and throughout the universe. Energy can never be made or destroyed, but its form can be converted and changed.
While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or provides heat.
When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. This consent is known as “hidden energy”.

I’m doing a project in school on liquids and gasses and I wanted to know if air conditioning is a gas?

NeX [460]

The AC unit uses a refrigerant generally a chemical called freon to cool the air in a house. The unit evaporates freon and uses the result of this evaporation cycle to circulate cool air. ... Freon is a gas. The AC unit compresses this cool gas, causing it to become very hot.

If a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy:________

Nuetrik [128]

Answer: If a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\$

This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength.

As it is given that energy of a hydrogen atom and a helium atom is same.

Let us assume that $E_{hydrogen} = E_{helium} = E'$ . Hence, relation between their wavelengths will be calculated as follows.

$E_{hydrogen} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{hydrogen}}$ ... (1)

$E_{helium} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{helium}}$ ... (2)

Equating the equations (1) and (2) as follows.

$E_{hydrogen} = E_{helium} = E'\\\frac{hc}{\lambda_{hydrogen}} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{helium}} = E'\\\lambda_{helium} = \lambda_{hydrogen} = E'$

Thus, we can conclude that if a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.

Oftentimes solubility of a compound limits the concentration of the solution that can be prepared. Use the solubility data given

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

NaNO3 (solubility = 89.0 g/100 g H2O)

Explanation:

The solubility of a specie is the amount of solute that will dissolve in one litre of the solvent. Solubility is usually expressed in units of molarity.

Now let us calculate the molarity of the NaNO3 (solubility = 89.0 g/100 g H2O)

Molar mass of NaNO3= 23+14+3(16)= 85gmol-1

Mass of solute=89.0g

Amount of solute= mass of NaNO3/molar mass of NaNO3

Amount of solute= 89.0g/85.0 gmol-1

= 1.0moles of NaNO3

Note that 100g of water=100cm^3 of water.

If 1.0 moles of NaNO3 dissolve in 100cm^3 or water therefore,

x moles of NaNO3 will dissolve in 1000cm^3 of water

x= 1.0 × 1000/ 100

x= 10.0 moles of NaNO3
