Solution:

the minimum total energy released when an electron and its antiparticle (positron) annihilate each other is:-

2 mc^2.    [Mass of electron m and c is the velocity of light.]  

m=1*10^(-30) kg., c =3*10^ 8 m/s  

energy released = 2 *9* 10 ^(-14) j  

1 j =6*10^(18) eV.  

Energy released = 6*18*10^4 eV

                               =104*10^4 eV  

                                 =1.04 MeV.

Calculate the mass of glucose metabolized by a 60.0 −kg person in climbing a mountain with an elevation gain of 1550 m . Assume
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Mass of glucose = 515.34 g

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 60 kg

Elevation; h = 1550 m

Acceleration due to gravity; 9.8 m/s²

Now, work performed to lift 60kg by 1550m is given by the formula;

W = mgh

W = 60 × 9.8 × 1550

W = 911400 J

We are told the actual work is 4 times the one above.

Thus;

Actual work = 4W = 4 × 911400 = 3,645,600 J

Now,

Molar mass of Glucose(C6H12O6) = 180 g/mol

We are given standard enthalpy of combustion = -1273.3 KJ/mol = -1273300

Moles of glucose = 3645600/1273300 = 2.863mol

Mass of glucose = 2.863 mol × 180 g/mol

Mass of glucose = 515.34 g

A chemist dissolves 581.1mg of pure perchloric acid in enough water to make up 150 ml of solution. Calculate the pH of the solut
algol [13]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 1.41

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Given mass of perchloric acid = 581.1 mg = 0.5811 g   (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of perchloric acid = 100.5 g/mol

Volume of solution = 150 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of perchloric acid}=\frac{0.5811\times 1000}{100.5\times 150}\\\\\text{Molarity of perchloric acid}=0.0385M

1 mole of perchloric acid produces 1 mole of H^+ ions and 1 mole of ClO_4^- ions

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

[H^+]=0.0385M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log (0.0385)=1.41

Hence, the pH of the solution is 1.41
