Explain why on a hot sunny day it is cooler in the shade

1 answer:

5 0

Shade only feels cooler because you are avoiding solar radiation. In reality, the temperature in the sun is the same as the temperature in the shade. ... When in the shade, your skin is not being “heated” by the sun's rays, so your skin and your body feel a more comfortable temperature.

Hello, a little help please guys:( Explain how the series of experiments performed by Crookes, Thomson, Rutherford, and Chadwick

White raven [17]

<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>

Equation is balanced already

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

1.) 13 g C₄H₁₀

2.) 41 g CO₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of propane (C₄H₁₀) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), you need to (1) convert mass O₂ to moles O₂ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ to mass C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answers should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ ----> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

48 g O₂ 1 mole 2 moles C₄H₁₀ 58.124 g
--------------- x ----------------- x -------------------------- x ------------------ =
31.996 g 13 moles O₂ 1 mole

= 13 g C₄H₁₀

48 g O₂ 1 mole 8 moles CO₂ 44.007 g
--------------- x ----------------- x -------------------------- x ------------------ =
31.996 g 13 moles O₂ 1 mole

= 41 g CO₂

What happens to the rate of diffusion when pressure of gas is increased?

luda_lava [24]

In general, the diffusion coefficient is inversely proportional to pressure. This is also an observed fact: gas production rates from coal seams tend to increase as the reservoir pressure goes down.

purification of chromium can be achieved by electrorefining chromium from an impure chromium anode onto a pure chromium cathode

stiv31 [10]

The chromium in the electrolytic solution is present as cr³⁺ will take 6.19 hours will it take to plate 18.0 kg of chromium onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 45.0 A.

It is given that mass is 18 kg. Converting mass into grams

18 x (1000g / 1 kg)

= 18000 g

So, 18 kg = 18000 g

Now, calculate the number of moles

No. of moles = mass of Cr / molecular mass of Cr

No. of moles = 18000 / 52 g/mole

No. of moles = 346.15 mole

For , Cr³⁺, 3 moles of electrons are required

Hence,

3 x 346.15 mole

1038.45

As 96500 C of charge are present in 1 mole of electrons. As a result, the charge held by 1038.45 mole of electrons will be determined as follows.

= 1038.45mol x 96500 C / mole

= 10.02 x 10⁷ C

As, we know that relation between charge, current and time is as follows.

Q = I x T

Current is given as 45 A

Therefore, charge is calculated

T = Q / I

T = 100.21 x 10⁶ / 45

T = 2.227 x 10⁶

As there are 3600 seconds in one 1 hour. Converting 2.227 x 10⁶ into hours are

= 2.227 x 10⁶ / 3600 sec/h

= 6.19 hours

Thus, if the current flowing through the cell is maintained constant at 45 A, we may estimate that it will take 6.19 hours to plate 18 kg of chromium onto the cathode.

some infrared radiation reaches earth and sum does not with part does reach earth longer wave length or short wave length

Ede4ka [16]

The answer is long wave length because long wave lengths contians less energy, and would not harm living things such as plants and animals. the more engey a wave length has, the less harmful it is.

short wave length: lots of energy, extremely hot. (examples: gamma rays, and UV (ultraviolet) rays.

long wave lengths: not much energy, safe for humans and other life on Earth.

hopefully this helps.
