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

Complete combustion of 7.40 g of a hydrocarbon produced 22.4 g of CO2 and 11.5 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the h
cluponka [151]
<span>C2H5 First, you need to figure out the relative ratios of moles of carbon and hydrogen. You do this by first looking up the atomic weight of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Then you use those atomic weights to calculate the molar masses of H2O and CO2. Carbon = 12.0107 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 Now using the calculated molar masses, determine how many moles of each product was generated. You do this by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. moles H2O = 11.5 g / 18.01488 g/mole = 0.638361 moles moles CO2 = 22.4 g / 44.0087 g/mole = 0.50899 moles The number of moles of carbon is the same as the number of moles of CO2 since there's just 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule. Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule of H2O, you need to multiply the number of moles of H2O by 2 to get the number of moles of hydrogen. moles C = 0.50899 moles H = 0.638361 * 2 = 1.276722 We can double check our math by multiplying the calculated number of moles of carbon and hydrogen by their respective atomic weights and see if we get the original mass of the hydrocarbon. total mass = 0.50899 * 12.0107 + 1.276722 * 1.00794 = 7.400185 7.400185 is more than close enough to 7.40 given rounding errors, so the double check worked. Now to find the empirical formula we need to find a ratio of small integers that comes close to the ratio of moles of carbon and hydrogen. 0.50899 / 1.276722 = 0.398669 0.398669 is extremely close to 4/10, so let's reduce that ratio by dividing both top and bottom by 2 giving 2/5. Since the number of moles of carbon was on top, that ratio implies that the empirical formula for this unknown hydrocarbon is C2H5</span>

Newton's second law of motion uses the formula which states that a force will cause a mass to accelerate. (f = m •
Makovka662 [10]

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

This verbal statement can be expressed in equation form as follows:

a = Fnet / m

a particular application calls for N2 g with a density of 1.80 g/L at 32 degrees C what must be the pressure of the n2 g in mill
baherus [9]

Answer:

1223.38 mmHg

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

Also,  

Moles = mass (m) / Molar mass (M)

Density (d)  = Mass (m) / Volume (V)

So, the ideal gas equation can be written as:

PM=dRT

Given that:-

d = 1.80 g/L

Temperature = 32 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (32 + 273.15) K = 305.15 K

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

Applying the equation as:

P × 28 g/mol  = 1.80 g/L × 62.3637 L.mmHg/K.mol × 305.15 K

⇒P = 1223.38 mmHg

<u>1223.38 mmHg must be the pressure of the nitrogen gas.</u>

What temperature would 3.54 moles of xenon gas need to reach to exert a pressure of 1.57 atm at a volume of 34.6 l
ira [324]

Answer:

186.9Kelvin

Explanation:

The ideal gas law equation is PV = n R T

where

P   is the pressure of the gas

V   is the volume it occupies

n  is the number of moles of gas present in the sample

R  is the universal gas constant, equal to  0.0821 atm L /mol K

T  is the absolute temperature of the gas

Ensure units of the volume, pressure, and temperature of the gas correspond to R ( the universal gas constant, equal to  0.0821 atm L /mol K )

n = 3.54moles

P= 1.57

V= 34.6

T=?

PV = n R T

PV/nR = T

1.57 x 34.6/3.54 x 0.0821

54.322/0.290634= 186.908620464= T

186.9Kelvin ( approximately to 1 decimal place)

Given the reaction: A + B &lt;--&gt; C + D
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A.) 4.0

Explanation:

The general equilibrium expression looks like this:

K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }

In this expression,

-----> K = equilibrium constant

-----> uppercase letters = molarity

-----> lowercase letters = balanced equation coefficients

In this case, the molarity's do not need to be raised to any numbers because the coefficients in the balanced equation are all 1. You can find the constant by plugging the given molarities into the equation and simplifying.

K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }                                       <----- Equilibrium expression

K = \frac{[2 M] [2 M]}{[1 M] [1 M] }                                     <----- Insert molarities

K = \frac{4}{1  }                                                <----- Multiply

K = 4                                                <----- Divide
