If electrons were used in the two-slit experiment instead of light, what change would need to be made to the slit spacing in ord

er to see a diffraction pattern?
Chemistry

Andrei [34K]3 years ago

In order to conduct the two-slit experiment with a beam of electrons, the slit opening has to be smaller than the opening for the light waves. This is because the wavelength of the electron beam is lower, which means it will pass through the large slit without diffracting. Diffraction will occur if the spacing is reduced. The reason that electrons have a smaller wavelength is because they have a higher energy than light waves.

The rate of effusion of oxygen to an unknown gas is 0.935. what is the other gas?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

N2

Explanation:

Rate of effusion is defined by Graham's Law:  

(Rate 1/Rate 2) = (sqrt (M2)/ sqrt (M1))

(Where M is the molar mass of each substance. )

Molar Mass of oxygen, O2, is 32 (M1).

Rate of effusion of O2 to an unknown gas is .935(Rate 1).  

Rate 2 is unknown so put 1.

Solve for x (M2).

.935/1 = sqrt x/ sqrt32

.935 x sqrt 32 = sqrt x

5.29 = sq rt x

5.29^2 = 27.975 = 28  

N2 has a molar mass of 28 so it is the correct gas.

A sample of a pure compound that weighs 59.8 g contains 27.6 g Sb (antimony) and 32.2 g F (fluorine). What is the percent compos
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

53.85%

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass of antimony (Sb) = 27.6g

Mass of Fluorine (F) = 32.2g

Mass of compound = 59.8g

Percentage composition of fluorine (F) =..?

The percentage composition of fluorine can be obtained as follow:

Percentage composition of fluorine = mass of fluorine/mass of compound x 100

Percentage composition of fluorine = 32.2/59.8 x 100

= 53.85%

Therefore, the percentage composition of fluorine in the compound is 53.85%

1. 17.0 grams of xenon hexafluoride is in a solid container. How many milliliters of that gas
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: The volume of gas is 3020 ml

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 821.4 torr =  1.08 atm     (760 torr = 1atm)

V = Volume of gas in L = ?

n = number of moles = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{17.0g}{245.28g/mol}=0.069mol

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =302.7^0C=(302.7+273)K=575.7K

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

V=\frac{0.069mol\times 0.0821Latm/K mol\times 575.7K}{1.08atm}=3.02L=3020ml

Thus volume of gas is 3020 ml

Please help<br> Explain why a molecule that has polar bonds can be a polar molecule.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, obviously a molecule with polar bonds can be polar in itself. It's like saying I am an atheltic person who can just reach the basketball rim with my head and also I can dunk.

But if the question is how can a molecule that in non-polar have polar bonds, well, its because the polar bonds' dipole cancels each other out. It's like a tight rope. If a person pulls in one direction, it intuitively, the rope would go in that direction. However, if a person pulls in the other direction with the same amount of force, the rope stays still. This is the same case. Although molecules can have different electronegativities, the pull of electrons in one direction is cancelled out by a pull in the opposite direction, making the net dipole 0.

This is common for main VSERP shaped molecules like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.
