You divide 120 and 72 and get 1.67 repeated i think

A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon

Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

$n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol$

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

$N=n N_A$

where

n is the number of moles

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

$N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18}$ atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

$E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm$ is the wavelength

Substituting,

$E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

$E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J$

Elsa runs 100m. She takes 20s to run this distance. What is Elsa's average speed?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Average speed = 5 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 100m

Time = 20 secs

To find the average speed;

Speed = distance/time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Speed = 100/20

Speed = 5m/s

Therefore, Elsa's average speed is 5 meters per seconds.
