Find the de Broglie wavelength lambda for an electron moving at a speed of 1.00 \times 10^6 \; {\rm m/s}. (Note that this speed

is low enough that the classical momentum formula p=mv is still valid.) Recall that the mass of an electron is m_{\rm e} = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\; {\rm kg}, and Planck's constant is h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34}\; {\rm J \cdot s}.
Express your answer in meters to three significant figures.
lambda =7.270×10−10 \rm m

Part B

Find the de Broglie wavelength lambda of a baseball pitched at a speed of 40.0 m/s. Assume that the mass of the baseball is 0.143 \;{\rm kg}.
Express your answer in meters to three significant figures

lambda =1.16×10−34 \rm m


As a comparison, an atomic nucleus has a diameter of around 10^{-14}\;{\rm m}. Clearly, the wavelength of a moving baseball is too small for you to hope to see diffraction or interference effects during a baseball game.

Part C

Consider a beam of electrons in a vacuum, passing through a very narrow slit of width 2.00 \;\mu{\rm m}. The electrons then head toward an array of detectors a distance 1.091 m away. These detectors indicate a diffraction pattern, with a broad maximum of electron intensity (i.e., the number of electrons received in a certain area over a certain period of time) with minima of electron intensity on either side, spaced 0.492 cm from the center of the pattern. What is the wavelength lambda of one of the electrons in this beam? Recall that the location of the first intensity minima in a single slit diffraction pattern for light is y=L \lambda /a, where L is the distance to the screen (detector) and a is the width of the slit. The derivation of this formula was based entirely upon the wave nature of light, so by de Broglie's hypothesis it will also apply to the case of electron waves.

Express your answer in meters to three significant figures.

lambda =9.02×10−9 \rm m

Part D

What is the momentum p of one of these electrons?
Express your answer in kilogram-meters per second to three significant figures.

(A) 7.28\cdot 10^{-10} m

The De Broglie wavelength of an electron is given by

\lambda=\frac{h}{p} (1)

where

h is the Planck constant

p is the momentum of the electron

The electron in this problem has a speed of

v=1.00\cdot 10^6 m/s

and its mass is

m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg

So, its momentum is

p=mv=(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(1.00\cdot 10^6 m/s)=9.11\cdot 10^{-25}kg m/s

And substituting into (1), we find its De Broglie wavelength

\lambda=\frac{6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js}{9.11\cdot 10^{-25} kg m/s}=7.28\cdot 10^{-10} m

(B) 1.16\cdot 10^{-34}m

In this case we have:

m = 0.143 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 40.0 m/s is the speed of the ball

So, the momentum of the ball is

p=mv=(0.143 kg)(40.0 m/s)=5.72 kg m/s

And so, the De Broglie wavelength of the ball is given by

\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}{5.72 kg m/s}=1.16\cdot 10^{-34}m

(C) 9.02\cdot 10^{-9}m

The location of the first intensity minima is given by

y=\frac{L\lambda}{a}

where in this case we have

y=0.492 cm = 4.92\cdot 10^{-3} m

L = 1.091 is the distance between the detector and the slit

a=2.00\mu m=2.00\cdot 10^{-6}m is the width of the slit

Solving the formula for \lambda, we find the wavelength of the electrons in the beam:

\lambda=\frac{ya}{L}=\frac{(4.92\cdot 10^{-3}m)(2.00\cdot 10^{-6} m)}{1.091 m}=9.02\cdot 10^{-9}m

(D) 7.35\cdot 10^{-26}kg m/s

The momentum of one of these electrons can be found by re-arranging the formula of the De Broglie wavelength:

p=\frac{h}{\lambda}

where here we have

\lambda=9.02\cdot 10^{-9}m is the wavelength

Substituting into the formula, we find

p=\frac{6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js}{9.02\cdot 10^{-9}m}=7.35\cdot 10^{-26}kg m/s

What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

  • Incomplete octet
  • Double bond
  • Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

  • lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.

What is the molality of a solution containing 10.0 G of NA2 S04 and 1000.0 G of water
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

1 literThe total of water is equal to 1000.0 g of water

we need to find the molality of a solution containing 10.0 g of dissolved in  Na₂S0₄1000.0 g of water

1. For that find the molar mass

Na:  2 x 22.99= 45.98

S:  32.07

O:  4 x 16= 64

The total molar mass is 142.05

We have to find the number of moles, y

To find the number of moles divide 10.0g by 142.05 g/mol.

So the number of moles is 0.0704 moles.

For the molarity, you need the number of moles divided by the volume. So, 0.0704 mol/1 L.

The molarity would end up being 0.0704 M

The molality of a solution containing 10.0 g of Na2SO4 dissolved in 1000.0 g of water is  0.0704 Mliter
