Answer:- Frequency is $4.80*10^1^4Hz$ .

Solution:- The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is given as 625 nm and we are asked to calculate the frequency. Frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength and the formula used to calculate frequency when wavelength is given is:

$\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }$

where, $\nu$ is frequency, c is speed of light and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.

Value of speed of light is $\frac{3.0*10^8m}{s}$ . We need to convert the given wavelength from nm to m.

$1nm=10^-^9m$

So, $625nm(\frac{10^-^9m}{1nm})$

= $6.25*10^-^7m$

Let's plug in the values in the formula and calculate the frequency:

$\nu =\frac{3.0*10^8m.s^-^1}{6.25*10^-^7m}$

= $4.80*10^1^4s^-^1$ or Hz.

So, the frequency of the electromagnetic wave is $4.80*10^1^4Hz$ .

which of these species is most likely to be a lewis acid and is also least likely to be a bronsted acid

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

Which Of These Species Is Most Likely To Be A Lewis Acid And Is Also Least Likely To Be A Brønsted Acid? (A) NH4⁺ (B) BF₃ (C) H₂O (D) OH⁻

The correct option is B

Explanation:

A lewis acid is a substance that accepts (or is capable of accepting) a pair of electrons. For example BF₃, while a lewis base is a substance that donates (or is capable of donating) a pair of electrons. For example OH⁻.

If we take a look at the boron (B) in BF₃, it has 3 electrons on it's outermost shell, each of which are bonded to flourine and can still accept a pair of electrons (lone pair). <u>This makes it very likely to be a lewis acid</u>.

Bronsted lowry acid is a substance that donates or can donate a proton or H⁺ (for example HCl) while bronsted lowry base is a substance that accepts or can accept a proton or H⁺ (for example NH₃).

<u>BF₃ cannot donate a proton or H⁺ hence it is least likely to be called a bronsted acid.</u>

A piece of wood has a labeled length value of 63.2 cm. You measure its length three times and record the following data: 63.1 cm

Ulleksa [173]

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

Accepted value is true value.

Measured values is calculated value.

In the question given Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm

Given Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm , 63.0 cm , 63.7 cm

1) Percent error (%) for first measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.1 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{0.1}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00158\times 100$

Percent error = 0.158 %

2) Percent error (%) for second measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.0 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.0 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{0.2}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00316\times 100$

Percent error = 0.316 %

3) Percent error (%) for third measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.7 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.7 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | -0.5 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{(0.5)}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00791\times 100$

Percent error = 0.791 %

Percent error for each measurement is :

63.1 cm = 0.158%

63.0 cm = 0.316%

63.7 cm = 0.791%
