Answer: 2.48×10^-17 J

Explanation:

Given the following :

Wavelength = 8nm (8 x 10^-9 m)

Energy(e) of X-ray =?

Energy=[speed of light(c) × planck's constant (h)] ÷ wavelength

Speed of light = 3×10^8m/s

Planck's constant = 6.626×10^-34 Js

Wavelength = 8 x 10^-9 m

Energy = [(3×10^8) * (6.626×10^-34)] / 8 x 10^-9

Energy = [19.878×10^(8-34)] / 8 x 10^-9

Energy = 2.48475 × 10^(-26+9)

Energy = 2.48×10^-17 J

A compound composed of 3. 3 % h, 19. 3 % c, and 77. 4 % o has a molar mass of approximately 60 g/mol. What is the molecular form

Brut [27]

The molecular formula of the given compound is $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$ also known as Carbonic acid.

<h3>What is empirical formula and molecular formula?</h3>

The simplest whole-number ratio of the various atoms in a compound is represented by an empirical formula.

The precise number of various atom types present in a compound's molecule is indicated by the molecular formula.

Given that,

H = 3.3%

C = 19.3%

O = 77.4%

No. of moles of H = 3.3/1

No. of moles of H = 3.3

No. of moles of C = 19.3 / 12

No. of moles of C = 1.60

No. of moles of O = 77.4/16

No. of moles of O = 4.83

Therefore, the ratio of the atoms of C, H and O = 3.3 : 1.60 : 4.83

Divide by smallest value which you get =3.3 / 1.60 : 1.60 / 1.60 : 4.83 / 1.60

The ratio of the atoms of C, H and O = 2 : 1 : 3

So, the empirical formula is $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{2}$

Let the molecular formula is $\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\right) \mathrm{n}$

Then, molar mass $$=(2 \times 1+1 \times 12+3 \times 16) n\\$

Molar mass = 62n

As the question, 62 n = 60

n = 0.96 or n = 1 (rounded off to nearest ones)

So, the molecular formula is $\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\right) 1=\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$ i.e., the compound is Carbonic acid.

Molar mass of a gas lab help?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The molar mass is determined by applying the Ideal Gas Law, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure (in atm), V is the volume (in L), n is the number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant (0.08206 L∙atm/mol∙K), and T is the temperature (in K).

Hope this helps! :)

If 42.7 of 0.208 M hydrochloric acid are needed to completely neutralize a solution of calcium hydroxide, how many grams of calc

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0.329 g

Explanation:

In the context of this problem, we have a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide. HCl is the acid here and calcium hydroxide is the base. Hence, we have an acid-base reaction, also known as neutralization reaction.

In a neutralization reaction, water is produced as a product, as well as a salt that we obtain after we exchange the cations: calcium bonds to chloride and hydrogen bonds to hydroxide (the latter is the formation of water). This means we also produce calcium chloride as a product. The overall reaction represents this as:

$Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2 HCl (aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2 (aq)+2 H_2O (l)$

Firslt of all, we wish to find the number of moles of HCl present. Having molarity and volume, this is done by applying the molarity formula. It states that molarity is equal to the rate between moles and volume:

$c_{HCl}=\frac{n_{HCl}}{V_{HCl}}$
