How many atoms are represented by one formula unit of aluminum sulfite, al2(so3)3?

1 answer:

4 0

Formula unit is the empirical formula of an ionic or a covalent compound. It is the chemical formula that gives the proportions of the elements present in a certain compound however it does not give the actual numbers or the arrangement of the atoms. For this case, there are 14 atoms of different elements that is involved in the compound.

Answer: $1.593*10^{17} photons$ released if the laser is used 0.056 s during the surgery

Explanation:

First, you have to calculate the energy of each photon according to Einstein's theoty, given by:

$E =\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, $h$ is the Planck's constant and $h$ is the speed of light

$h = 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}$ -> Planck's constant

$c = 3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$ -> Speed of light

So, replacing in the equation:

$E =\frac{ 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}*3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}}{514*10^-9 m}$

Then, the energy of each released photon by the laser is:

$E = 3.867*10^{-19} \frac{J}{photons}$

After, you do the inverse of the energy per phothon and as a result, you will have the number of photons in a Joule of energy:

$\frac{1}{3.867*10^{-19}} = 2.586*10^{18} \frac{photons}{J}$

The power of the laser is 1.1 W, or 1.1 J/s, that means that you can calculate how many photons the laser realease every second:

$2.586*10^{18}\frac{photons}{J} * 1.1 \frac{J}{s} = 2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s}$

And by doing a simple rule of three, if $2.844*10^{18} photons$ are released every second, then in 0.056 s:

$0.056 s*2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s} = 1.593*10^{17} photons$ are released during the surgery

An alternative to CFL bulbs and incandescent bulbs are light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. A 16-W LED bulb can replace a 100-W inc

Yanka [14]

Answer:

LED bulb = 0.145 A

Incandescent bulb = 0.909 A

CFL bulb = 0.218 A

Explanation:

Given:

Power rating of LED bulb (P₁) = 16 W

Power rating of incandescent bulb (P₂) = 100 W

Power rating of CFL bulb (P₃) = 24 W

Terminal voltage across the circuit (V) = 110 V

We know that, power is related to terminal voltage and current drawn as:

$P=VI$

Express this in terms of 'I'. This gives,

$I=\frac{P}{V}$

Now, calculate the current drawn in each bulb using their respective values.

For LED bulb, $P_1=16\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_1=\frac{16\ W}{110\ V}=0.145\ A$

For incandescent bulb, $P_2=100\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_2=\frac{100\ W}{110\ V}=0.909\ A$

For CFL bulb, $P_3=24\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_3=\frac{24\ W}{110\ V}=0.218\ A$

Therefore, the currents drawn through LED bulb, incandescent bulb and CFL bulb are 0.145 A, 0.909 A and 0.218 A respectively.
