In which medium would light have the longest wavelength?

1 answer:

4 0

Color implies visible light, so to answer your question: red light has the longest wavelength (~620 - 740 nm). However, there also exists light with even longer wavelengths that is not visible to the human eye, from infrared light to radio waves (with wavelengths that are meters long!)

The product of the nuclear reaction in which 40Ar is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ________. The pr

Orlov [11]

Answer:

37S

Explanation:

Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of particles and / or electromagnetic radiation by unstable atomic nuclei leading to their disintegration.

We have two main types of radioactivity: radioactive decay and artificial transmutation.

In radioactive decay ( natural radioactivity ), a naturally occurring radioactive element like Uranium-238 disintegrates or decays into more stable isotopes with the emission of particles and/or radiation.

23892U = 23490Th + 42He

Artificial transmutation is the collision of two particles where one particle captures the other used to bombard it. There is subsequent production of isotopes similar or different from the bombarded particle. Neutrons, alpha particles ( helium nucleus ), electrons, protons can be used to bombard elements.

147N + 42He = 178O + 11P

For the above question which is artificial transmutation, the reaction equation is

4018Ar + 10n = 3716S + 42He

So, the neutron capture by Argon-40 will produce a radioisotope Sulphur-37 with the emission of an alpha particle.

Consider the following half-reactions and their standard reduction potential values to answer the following questions.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Br2 (l) + 2e- ---------> 2Br- (aq) E° = 1.08 V cathode

Cu2+ (aq) + e- --------->Cu+ (aq) E° = 0.15 V anode

Explanation:

We have to first state the fact that the reaction having the most positive reduction potential occurs at the cathode in any spontaneous electrochemical cell. The half reaction with the less positive electrode potential usually occurs at the anode.

The overall reaction equation is;

2Cu2+ (aq) + Br2 (l) ----->2Cu+ (aq) + 2Br- (aq)

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cathode= 1.08 V

E°anode= 0.15V

E°cell = 1.08-0.15 = 0.93 V

But

∆G°= -nFE°cell

n= 2, F=96500C, E°cell= 0.93V

∆G° = -(2× 96500× 0.93)

∆G= -179490 J

But;

∆G = -RTlnK

R=8.314 JK-1

T= 25+273= 298K

Kc= the unknown

∆G° = -179490 J

Substituting values and making lnK the subject of the formula

lnK= ∆G/-RT

lnK= -( -179490/8.314 × 298)

lnK= 72.45

K= e^72.45

K= 2.91×10^31
