Chapter 20.3, Problem 3RC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: It should be determined for the following lighting source is the most energy efficient.

Concept Introduction:

Light-emitting diodes:

The light emitting diode is a P-N junction diode. It is a special doped diode and mad e up of a special type of semiconductors. When the light emits in the forward biased, then it is called as a light emitting diode.

The light emitting diode is a two – led semiconductor light source.

Nick Holonyak invented the idea of light emitting diode, and he was working for the general electric company.

The LED is a special type of diode and they have similar electrical characteristic of a PN junction diode.

Hence the LED allows the flow of current in the forward direction and blocks the current in the reverse direction.

Nonrenewable sources are those for which the energy source is used and not concurrently replenished.

Renewable energy sources:

The sun energy is an example of renewable resources.

These include solar energy and energy derived from wind, biomass, and moving water likewise geothermal energy is a renewable resources.

4.) What mass of silver can be plated onto an object in 45 minutes at 9.0 A of current?
(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test.  4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals.  Magnesium is more reactive than silver; therefore, magnesium corrodes faster than silver with the aid of air, oxygen, and sea water.
Describe how the following changes are brought about: (i) Pig iron into steel. (ii) Zinc oxide into metallic zinc. (iii) Impure titanium into pure titanium.
