What happens to an electromagnetic wave as it passes from space to matter

1 answer:

Angelina_Jolie [31]3 years ago

8 0

<span>When an electromagnetic wave passes from space to matter, some part of the energy is absorbed by the matter and it increases its energy. The wave may reflect and some part may pass through the matter depending on the amount of energy they have. The amplitude of the wave decreases if some parts of it are reflected. </span>

rusting of steel can be prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc. Explain, in terms of electron transfer, why steal d

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.

Explanation:

This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.

Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.

Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.

Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.

Two hydrogen atoms collide in a head on collision and end up with zero kinetic energy. Each then emits a photon of 121.6 nm (n=2

Zinaida [17]

Explanation:

Expression for the kinetic energy is as follows.

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Now, total kinetic energy will be as follows.

K.E = $2 \times \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ = $m \times v^{2}$

Since, this energy converts into electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 121.6 nm.

Relation between energy and photon is as follows.

Energy of photon = $\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

= $\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{121.6 \times 10^{-9}}$

= $1.63 \times 10^{-18} J$

$m \times v^{2} = 1.63 \times 10^{-18}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{1.63 \times 10^{-18}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

= $3.12 \times 10^{4}$ m/s

Thus, we can conclude that atoms were moving at a speed of $3.12 \times 10^{4}$ m/s before the collision.

The solubility product of PbI2 is 7.9x10^-9. What is the molar solubility of PbI2 in distilled water?

Agata [3.3K]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar solubility of $PbI_2$ is $1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium.

Solubility product is defined as the product of concentration of ions present in a solution each raised to the power its stoichiometric ratio.

The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of calcium fluoride follows:

$PbI_2\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2I^-$

s 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:

$K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][I^-]^2$

We are given:

$K_{sp}=7.9\times 10^{-9}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$7.9\times 10^{-9}=(s)\times (2s)^2\\\\7.9\times 10^{-9}=4s^3\\\\s=1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$

Hence, the molar solubility of $PbI_2$ is $1.25\times 10^{-3}mol/L$
