Consider a cloudless day on which the sun shines down across the United States. If 2559 kJ of energy reaches a square meter (m2) of the United States in one hour, how much total solar energy reaches the entire United States per hour? The entire area of the United States is 9,158,960 km2 .

Answers

Answer 1

In 1 hour, 2.344 × 10¹⁶ kJ of solar energy reaches the United States.

The entire area of the United States is 9,158,960 km². We will convert it to m² using the conversion factor 1 km = 10³ m, squared.

[tex]9,158,960 km^{2} \times (\frac{10^{3} m }{1km} )^{2} = 9.158960 \times 10^{12}\ m^{2}[/tex]

In order to find the amount of solar energy that reaches 9.158960 × 10¹² m² we will use another conversion factor: 2559 kJ of energy reaches a square meter of the United States in one hour.

[tex]9.158960 \times 10^{12}\ m^{2} \times \frac{2559 kJ}{m^{2}.h } = 2.344 \times 10^{16} kJ/h[/tex]

In 1 hour, 2.344 × 10¹⁶ kJ of solar energy reaches the United States.

An atom is an indivisible particle and it is composed of mainly three sub atomic particles, they are protons, electrons and neutrons. The proton has a positive charge. The correct option is B.

What are sub subatomic particles?

The particles which are smaller in size than an atom are defined as the subatomic particles. The positively charged subatomic particles are called the protons whereas the negatively charged particles are called electrons and neutrons are chargeless.

It is the protons and neutrons which together make up the nucleus of an atom and hence they are called the nucleons. The number of protons or electrons in an atom is known as the atomic number and the mass of proton is 1.676 × 10⁻²⁴ grams.

It was Rutherford who discovered the protons and the charge of proton is  + 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ Coulombs.

Calculate the number of kilograms of sodium fluoride needed per year for a city of 100,000 people if the daily consumption of water per person is 150.0 gallons.

Answers

Fluoridation is the process of adding fluorine to drinking water to avoid tooth decay.

The question is incomplete; the complete question is;

Fluoridation is the process of adding fluorine compounds to drinking water to help fight tooth decay. A concentration of 1 ppm of fluorine is sufficient for the purpose. (1 ppm means one part per million, or 1 g of fluorine per 1 million g of water.) The compound normally chosen for fluoridation is sodium fluoride, which is also added to some toothpastes. Calculate the quantity of sodium fluoride in kilograms needed per year for a city of 50,000 people if the daily consumption of water per person is 150 gallons.

(Sodium fluoride is 45.0 percent fluorine by mass. 1 gallon = 3.79 L; 1 year = 365 days; 1 ton = 2000 lb; I lb = 453.6 g; density of water = 1.0 g/mL.)

The quantity of sodium fluoride in kilograms needed per year for a city of 50,000 people if the daily consumption of water per person is 150 gallons is [tex]9.32 * 10^9 Kg[/tex].

From the question, we know that;

Daily consumption of water per person = 150 gallons.

Population of the city = 100,000 people

Total daily city consumption =[tex]100,000 *  150 gallons = 15 * 10^6 gallons[/tex]

Annual water consumption = [tex]15 * 10^6 gallons * 365 = 5.475 * 10^9 gallons[/tex]

1 gallon = 3.785 L = 3.785 kg

[tex]5.475 * 10^9 gallons = 5.475 * 10^9 gallons * 3.785 kg/ 1 gallon = 2.1 * 10^10 Kg[/tex]

Since sodium fluoride accounts for 45% by mass of water

Mass of sodium fluoride= [tex]0.45 * 2.1 * 10^10 Kg= 9.32 * 10^9 Kg[/tex]

D)[D]/[ED] = 5.20

E)[D']_T = 1.495* 10 ^-7 M

F)[D'] / [ED']  = 0.0579

Explanation:

E = 250 nM =2.5* 10 ^-7 mol/L , T=298.15 K

Dissociation constant of K_D = 1.3 μM (1.3 *10 ^-6 M)

E + D ⇄ ED → K_a = [ED] / [D][E]   (association constant)

ED ⇄ E + D → K_D = [E][D] / [ED]  (dissociation constant)

C)

[E] =2.5*10^-7 mol/L

K_D = 1.3* 10^-6 M

K_D = [E][D] / [ED] → [D]/[ED] = K_D / [E]

= [D]/[ED] = 1.3* 10 ^-6 / 2.5 *10^-7

= 13/25 * 10

=130/25 = 5.20

[D]/[ED] = 5.20

D)

ΔG =RTln Kd

ΔG_2 for E and D = 1.987 * 298.15 * ln 1.3*10^-6

ΔG_2 592.454 * [ln 1.3 +ln 10^-6]

ΔG_1 = 592.424 [0.2623 - 13.8155]

ΔG_2 = -592.424 * 13.553

ΔG_1 = -8184.633 cal/ mol

ΔG_1 = -8184.633  * 4.18 J/mol = -34244.508 J?mol

ΔG_1 = -34.245 KL/mol

so, ΔG_2 = ΔG_1 - 10.5 KJ/mol

ΔG_2 = -34.245 - 10.5

ΔG_2 = -44.745KJ / mol

ΔG_2 =RT ln K_D

-44.745 *10^3

=8.314 *298.15 lnK_D

lnK_D' = - 44745 / 2478.81 g

ln K_D' = -18.051

K_D' = -18.051

K_D' = e^-18.051

[D]/[ED] = 5.20

E)

[E] = 2.5* 10 ^-7 mol/ L = a

K_D' = [E][D] / [ED']                                  E +D' → ED'

K_D' = a/2(x-(a/2) / (a/2)

KD' = x - a/2

=2.447 *10^-8 = (2.5/2) * 10^-7

x=2.447 * 10^-8 + 1.25 * 10^-7

x = 2.447 *10^-8 + 1.25 * 10 ^-7

x= 10^-7 [1.25 + 0.2447]

x = 1.4947 * 10^-7

[D']_T = 1.495* 10 ^-7 M

F)

K_D' = [E][D'] / [ED']

[D'] / [ED'] = KD' / [E]

[D'] / [ED'] = 1.447 *10^-8 / 2.5* 10^-7

Explanation:

took test on usa testprep

When gas in a discharge tube is excited to higher energy level after some seconds they return to the ground level by releasing energy in the form of light. Thus energy jumps by electron due to excitation is correct option.

What is gas discharge tube?

A gas discharge tube is an electronic devise containing inert gases that ionizes and conducts results in  emission of light.

When a potential  is applied between the electrodes in a gas discharge tube, and the pressure is reduced, the gas particles inside forms a plasma of ions.

The electrons released when excited to higher energy level by absorbing energy and returns to the initial state by emitting energy in the form of light, the discharge tube glows.

The color emitted by the discharge tube vary based on the gas in the tube. Each type of gaseous ions emit different colors.

Therefore, the light emission in gas discharge tube is due to energy hike during electron excitation and then relaxing by emitting the light energy. Thus, option c is correct.

When 47.1 J of heat is added to 14.0 g of a liquid, its temperature rises by 1.80 ∘C. What is the heat capacity of the liquid?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.87 \J/g \textdegree C}}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are asked to find the specific heat capacity of a liquid. We are given the heat added, the mass, and the change in temperature, so we will use the following formula.

[tex]q= mc\Delta T[/tex]

The heat added (q) is 47.1 Joules. The mass (m) of the liquid is 14.0 grams. The specific heat (c) is unknown. The change in temperature (ΔT) is 1.80 °C.

q= 47.1 J m= 14.0 g ΔT= 1.80 °C

Substitute these values into the formula.

[tex]47.1 \ J = (14.0 \ g) * c * (1.80 \textdegree C)[/tex]

Multiply the 2 numbers in parentheses on the right side of the equation.

[tex]47.1 \ J = (14.0 \ g * 1.80 \textdegree C)*c[/tex]

[tex]47.1 \ J = (25.2 \ g*\textdegree C) *c[/tex]

We are solving for the heat capacity of the liquid, so we must isolate the variable c. It is being multiplied by 25.2 grams * degrees Celsius. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides of the equation by (25.2 g * °C).

[tex]\frac {47.1 \ J}{(25.2 g *\textdegree C)} = \frac {(25.2 g *\textdegree C)*c}{{(25.2 g *\textdegree C)}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac {47.1 \ J}{(25.2 g *\textdegree C)} =c[/tex]

[tex]1.869047619 \ J/g *\textdegree C = c[/tex]

The original measurements of heat, mass, and temperature all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the hundredth place. The 9 in the thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 6 up to a 7.

[tex]1.87 \ J/ g * \textdegree C =c[/tex]

The heat capacity of the liquid is approximately 1.87 J/g°C.

Explanation:

To convert gallons to liters, multiply the amount of gallons by 3.785.

14.5 * 3.785 = 54.883

Taking into account the change of units, the size of the tank is 54.88 liters.

In first place, the rule of three is a tool used to quickly solve problems involving a proportional relationship between two variables.

The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three should be applied.

The rule of three is applied as follows, with A, B and C being known values ​​and D being an unknown value: if A maintains a certain relationship with B, and it is known that C and D have the same relationship, it is possible to calculate the unknown value D using the following expression:

[tex]D=\frac{CxB}{A}[/tex]

In this case, the rule of three can be applied as follows: if 1 gallon is equal to 3.785 liters, 14.5 gallons are equal to how many liters?

[tex]D=\frac{14.5 gallonsx3.785 liters}{1 gallon}[/tex]

Solving:

D= 54.88 liters

In summary, the size of the tank is 54.88 liters.
