Heat in the mantle comes from the Earth's molten outer core, decay of radioactive elements and, in the upper mantle, friction from descending tectonic plates.The temperature difference between the upper and lower boundaries of the mantle requires heat transfer to occur.

Night visin cameras are sensitive to energies around 2.21 x 10-19 J. What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation do they use?
defon

Answer:

8.99×10^-7m

Explanation:

The wavelength can be calculated using the expression below

E=hcλ

Where E= energy= 2.21 x 10^-19 J.

C= speed of light= 3x10^8 m/s

h= planks constant= 6.626 × 10^-34 m2 kg / s

E=hcλ

λ= E/(hc)

Substitute for the values

λ=( 2.21 x 10^-19 )/(6.626 × 10^-34 × 3x10^8 )

= 8.99×10^-7m

The molar heat of vaporization of water is 40.7 kJ mol . How much heat must be absorbed to convert 50.0 grams of liquid water at
podryga [215]
Molar mass of water 18g/mol

Number of mols = 50.0g/18g/mol =2.78 mol

 Heat absorbed = 40.7 kj/mol * 2.78 mol = 113.1 kj.
