Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

1 answer:

7 0

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

Estimate how long a 2500 W electric kettle would take to boil away 1.5 Kg of water . The specific latent heat of vaporization of

andrew-mc [135]

The time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds

<h3>How to calculate the time</h3>

Use the formula:

Power × time = mass × specific heat

Given mass = 1. 5kg

Specific latent heat of vaporization = 4000000 J/ Kg

Power = 2500 W

Substitute the values into the formula

Power × time = mass × specific heat

2500 × time = 1. 5 × 4000000

Make 'time' the subject

time = 1. 5 × 4000000 ÷ 2500 = 6000000 ÷ 2500 = 2400 seconds

Therefore, the time it would take a 2500 W electric kettle to boil away 1.5 Kg of water is 2400 seconds.

What is the wavelength of a monochromatic light beam, where the photon energy is 2.70 × 10^−19 J? (h = 6.63 ×10^−34 J⋅s, c = 3.0

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Wavelength = 736.67 nm

Explanation:

Given

Energy of the photon = 2.70 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Considering:

$Energy=h\times frequency$

where, h is Plank's constant having value as 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c = frequency × Wavelength

Where, c is the speed of light having value = 3×10⁸ m/s

So, Frequency is:

Frequency = c / Wavelength

So, Formula for energy:

$Energy=h\times \frac {c}{\lambda}$

Energy = 2.70 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

h = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Thus, applying in the formula:

$2.70\times 10^{-19}=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \frac {3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

Wavelength = 736.67 × 10⁻⁹ m

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

<u>Wavelength = 736.67 nm</u>
