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

At what temperature does 0.019135 moles of Ne in a 878.3 mL container exert a pressure of 0.946 atm?
Reika [66]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Temperature is 529.164 K

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given

Number of moles of Ne (n) =  0.019135 moles

Volume (V) = 878.3 mL

Pressure (P) = 0.946 atm

We are required to calculate the temperature;

We can do this using the ideal gas law equation which is;

PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, n is the number of moles, V is the volume, R is the ideal gas constant (0.082057 Latm/mol/K) and T is the temperature.

From the equation;

T=\frac{PV}{nR}

T = \frac{(0.946)(0.8783)}{(0.082057)(0.019135)}

T=529.164 K

Therefore, the temperature will be 529.164 K.

State two conditions necessary for an esterification reaction to take place​
nadya68 [22]

Explanation:

Esterification occurs when a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol. This reaction can only occur in the presence of an acid catalyst and heat. It takes a lot of energy to remove the -OH from the carboxylic acid, so a catalyst and heat are needed to produce the necessary energy.

zysi [14]

Answer: To test the properties of the particles, Thomson placed two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles.

Thomson also placed two magnets on either side of the tube, and observed that this magnetic field also deflected the cathode ray. The results of these experiments helped Thomson determine the mass-to-charge ratio of the cathode ray particles, which led to a fascinating discovery−-−minusthe mass of each particle was much, much smaller than that of any known atom. Thomson repeated his experiments using different metals as electrode materials, and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material they originated from. From this evidence, Thomson made the following conclusions:

The cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles.

The particles must exist as part of the atom, since the mass of each particle is only ~1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen atom.

These subatomic particles can be found within atoms of all elements.

While controversial at first, Thomson's discoveries were gradually accepted by scientists. Eventually, his cathode ray particles were given a more familiar name: electrons. The discovery of the electron disproved the part of Dalton's atomic theory that assumed atoms were indivisible. In order to account for the existence of the electrons, an entirely new atomic model was needed.
