You want to estimate the diameter of a very small circular pinhole that you've made in a piece of aluminum foil. to do so, you s

hine a red laser pointer (λ = 632 nm) at the hole and observe the diffraction pattern on a screen 3.4 m behind the foil. you measure the width of the central maximum to be 12 mm .

Central maximum = d* wavelength/ D
thus
12*10-^3 = 3.4*6.32*10-^7/D
D = 3.4*6.32*10-^7/12*10-^3
D = 1.79*10-^4 m

Which of these ionic compounds have polyatomic ions? Check all that apply.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

  • CaCO₃ and
  • NaOH.

Explanation:

Polyatomic ions are ions that contain more than one atom in each one of the ions.  

Ionic compounds are made of cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ion). By convention, the cation is written before the anion.

List the ions in each compound:

<h3>CaCO₃</h3>

Cation: \rm Ca^{2+},

Anion: \rm {CO_3}^{2-}.

\rm Ca^{2+} is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

\rm {CO_3}^{2-} is a polyatomic ion for it contains four atoms (one C atom and three O atoms) in each ion.

<h3>NaF</h3>

Cation: \rm Na^{+},

Anion: \rm F^{-}.

Both \rm Na^{+} and \rm F^{-} are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>FeO</h3>

Cation: \rm Fe^{2+},

Anion: \rm {O}^{2-}.

Both \rm Fe^{2+} and \rm O^{2-} are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>CaCl₂</h3>

Cation: \rm Ca^{2+},

Anion: \rm {Cl}^{-}.

Both \rm Ca^{2+} and \rm Cl^{-} are monatomic for they contain only one atom in each ion.

<h3>NaOH</h3>

Cation: \rm Na^{+},

Anion: \rm {OH}^{-}.

\rm Na^{+} is a monatomic ion for it contains only one atom in each ion.

\rm {OH}^{-} is a polyatomic ion for it contains two atoms (one O atom and one H atom) in each ion.

How much thermal energy is required to raise the temperature of 5 kg of water 50℃? The specific heat of water is 4168 J/kg*C.
sasho [114]

Answer/solution:

Given :

Mass =5kg

T 1 =20 C,T 2  =100 ∘C

ΔT=100−20=80 ∘C

Q=m×C×ΔT

where C= specific heat capacity of water

=4200J/(kgK)

Q=5×4200×80

=1680000 Joule.

=1680KJ

Jlenok [28]
Nuclear power generates alot of power, ALOT. It requires Uranium and other radioactive substances to power it, which over time can degrade and become depleted. This radioactive waste would have to be placed somewhere, and it accumulates over time slowly.
