How are different forms of energy related?

How is electromagnetic energy fromthe microwave transformed into heat energy

zysi [14]

Answer:

First, the microwaves transmit kinetic energy to the water molecules of the food, heating the water molecules. Only, those that are not very deep into the food.

Second, the hot water molecules transmit heat by conduction to the other parts of the food.

Explanation:

1) Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The same as any wave, they carry energy.

2) The wave length of microwaves are in the range of 0.001 mm to 1 m (shorter than radio waves and longer than infrared)

3) The microwaves of an oven, used to heat food, have a wave length aroun 12 cm.

4) The microwaves transmit energy to the water molecules in the food, by increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules. As result, the water molecules get hotter. Microwaves only penetrate about 1 cm inside the food (a potato for example) and from that the heat is transferred by conduction to the inner parts of the food.

determine whether each of the following electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth m

mamaluj [8]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Determine whether each of the following electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a transition metal. Justify your choices.

(a) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

(b) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2$

(c) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6$

(d) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1$

Answer :

(a) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$ → Halogen

(b) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2$ → Transition metal

(c) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6$ → Transition metal

(d) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1$ → Transition metal

Explanation :

Inert gas : These are the gases which lie in group 18.

Their general electronic configuration is: $ns^2np^6$ where n is the outermost shell.

Halogen : These are the elements which lie in group 17.

Their general electronic configuration is: $ns^2np^5$ where n is the outermost shell.

An alkali metal : These are the elements which lie in group 1.

Their general electronic configuration is: $ns^1$ where n is the outermost shell.

An alkaline earth metal : These are the elements which lie in group 2.

Their general electronic configuration is: $ns^2$ where n is the outermost shell.

Transition elements : They are the elements which lie between 's' and 'p' block elements. These are the elements which lie in group 3 to 12. The valence electrons of these elements enter d-orbital.

Their general electronic configuration is: $(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}$ where n is the outermost shell.

(a) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the halogen family.

(b) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2$

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(c) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6$

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(d) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1$

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

What is the sign of the heat change for an exothermic reaction? for an endothermic reaction?

Julli [10]

A system that releases heat to the surroundings, an exothermic reaction, has a negative ΔH by convention, because the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reactants of the system. The enthalpies of these reactions are less than zero, and are therefore exothermic reactions

Ferrous ammonium sulfate is what kind of test method.

ratelena [41]

Two things

Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate is a pale green or blue-green powder or sand-like solid. It is used in photography, analytical chemistry, and Iron-plating baths.

An FAS-DPD titration is as simple as a test for total alkalinity or calcium hardness. A buffered DPD indicator powder is added to a water sample and reacts with chlorine to produce the pink color characteristic of the standard DPD test.

Hope this it gang
