Answer:

Two

Step-by-step explanation:

In multiplication problems, your answer can have no more significant figures than the number with the fewest significant figures.

Start with the calculation inside parentheses:

5.1 × 10.6 = 54.060 000 00 (by my calculator)

There are three significant figures in 10.6, but only two in 5.1.

In this were a number you had to report, you would round to two significant figures and report the answer as 54.

54.060 000 00 → 54 (to two significant figures)

However, you must multiply this intermediate answer by 2.524.

Therefore, you multiply the number in the calculator by 2.524 and get

54.060 000 00 × 2.524 = 136.447 4400

NOW, you round to two significant figures and report the answer as 140.

Microwave radiation has a wavelength on the order of 1.0 cm. Calculate the frequency and the energy of a single photon of this r

denis23 [38]

Answer :

(1) The frequency of photon is, $3\times 10^{10}Hz$

(2) The energy of a single photon of this radiation is $1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon$

(3) The energy of an Avogadro's number of photons of this radiation is, 11.97 J/mol

Explanation : Given,

Wavelength of photon = $1.0cm=0.01m$ (1 m = 100 cm)

(1) Now we have to calculate the frequency of photon.

Formula used :

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{0.01m}$

$\nu=3\times 10^{10}s^{-1}=3\times 10^{10}Hz$ $(1Hz=1s^{-1})$

The frequency of photon is, $3\times 10^{10}Hz$

(2) Now we have to calculate the energy of photon.

Formula used :

$E=h\times \nu$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$E=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^{10}s^{-1})$

$E=1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon$

The energy of a single photon of this radiation is $1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon$

(3) Now we have to calculate the energy in J/mol.

$E=1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon$

$E=(1.988\times 10^{-23}J/photon)\times (6.022\times 10^{23}photon/mol)$

$E=11.97J/mol$

The energy of an Avogadro's number of photons of this radiation is, 11.97 J/mol

Which of the following elements is the most metallic

Marysya12 [62]

We found cesium, strontium, aluminum, sulfur, chlorine, and fluorine on the periodic table. Cesium is the farthest left and the lowest, while fluorine is the farthest right and the highest, so we know they have the highest metallic character and the lowest metallic character, respectively.

Which pair must represent atoms of the same element?

andrew-mc [135]

Your answer is B and the element is Carbon

So what your looking for is matching isotopes. Isotopes are elements that are the same in amount of protons but different in mass meaning different number in neutrons. Because when you add the total protons and neutrons together you get your atomic mass. So this can be written as X=said element, top number above=different atomic mass, bottom number below=atomic number. Hope this help!!

Be careful because answer A has same masses but different atomic numbers so different atoms(elements)!!!
