A common radio wavelength observed coming from astronomical objects is 21 cm. What temperature is associated with this radiation

?
Chemistry
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The temperature associated with this radiation is 0.014K.

Explanation:

If we assume that the astronomical object behaves as a black body, the relation between its <em>wavelength</em> and <em>temperature</em> is given by Wien's displacement law.

\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}

where,

λmax is the wavelength at the peak of emission

b is Wien's displacement constant (2.89×10⁻³ m⋅K)

T is the absolute temperature

For a wavelength of 21 cm,

T=\frac{b}{\lambda _{max} } = \frac{2.89 \times 10^{-3} m.K  }{0.21m} =0.014K

Why is helium trapped in the earth's crust? If it's its trapped in the earth's crust how does it get into the air that we breath
lesya [120]
 <span>A small proportion of helium in the crust is helium that was trapped in the Earth when the Earth formed and has not yet escaped. Most helium on Earth, however, forms as a result of alpha decay of uranium and thorium. The emitted alpha particles, once they grab a couple of stray electrons, become helium atoms and can accumulate in gas reservoirs along with things such as methane.</span>

Should existing structures build from CCA-treated wood be removed?
Arturiano [62]
<span>There are pros and cons as to whether CCA-treated (pressure-treated) wood should be removed from existing structures, and both sides are subjective. Some of the arguments for leaving it include: *When burned, the wood can release dangerous, and sometimes, lethal fumes. *If buried in a landfill, the chemicals can soak into the ground and eventually contaminate ground water. *Removing it can expose people to arsenic *It is costly to remove an existing infrastructure that may or may not be harming people *Studies conducted within the past decade have determined structures containing CCA-treated wood pose no hazard *Studies also concluded that children who played on CCA-treated playgrounds were exposed to arsenic levels lower than those that naturally occur in drinking water Some of the arguments for removing it include: *The EPA determined that some children could face higher cancer risks from exposure to CCA-treated wood *If removed, it will need to be disposed of and, as discussed above, that creates another set of problems that could affect a community's health. A possible solution is to leave existing CCA-treated wood in place but seek viable, safe alternatives for future structures.</span>

Consider the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas to form iodine monochloride. A reaction mixture at 298.15k initially c
uranmaximum [27]

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas is given below.

I_{2}  (g) + Cl_{2}  (g) ----->  2 ICl (g)

Step 2 : Set up ICE table

We will set up an ICE table for the above reaction

Following points are considered while drawing ICE table

- The initial concentration of product is assumed as 0

- The change in concentration (C) is assumed as x. Change (x) is negative for reactants and positive for products

- The coefficients in balanced equation are considered while writing C values

Check attached file for ICE table

Step 3 : Set up equilibrium constant equation

The equation for equilibrium constant can be written as

K_{eq} = \frac{[ICl]^{2}}{[I_{2}][Cl_{2}]}

Step 4 : Solving for x

Keq at 298.15 K is given as 81.9

Let us plug in the equilibrium values (E) for I₂, Cl₂ and ICl from ICE table

81.9 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{(0.437-x) (0.269-x)}

81.9 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118}

(2x)^{2} = 81.9 [ x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118]

4x^{2} = 81.9x^{2} -57.8x +9.66

77.9x^{2} -57.8x+9.66 = 0

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula we get

x = 0.488 or x = 0.254

The value 0.488 cannot be used because the change (C) cannot be greater that initial concentration of the reactants.

Therefore the change in concentration of the gases during the reaction is 0.254 M

Hence, x = 0.254 M

From the ICE table, we know that the equilibrium concentration of ICl is 2x

[ICl]_{eq} = 2 ( 0.254) = 0.508 M

The concentration of ICl when the reaction reaches equilibrium is 0.508 M

What is the mass of 2.50 moles of NaCl
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The mass of 2,50 moles of NaCl is 146, 25 g.

Explanation:

First we calculate the mass of 1 mol of NaCl, starting from the atomic weights of Na and Cl obtained from the periodic table. Then we calculate the mass of 2.50 moles of compound, making a simple rule of three:

Weight NaCl= Weight Na + Weight Cl=  23 g+ 35,5 g= 58, 5 g/ mol

1 mol ------ 58, 5 g

2,5 mol---x= (2,5 mol x 58, 5 g)/ 1 mol = <u>146, 25 g</u>
