The human eye is a complex sensing device for visible light. The optic nerve needs a minimum of 2.0 × 10−17 J of energy to trigg

Number of photons can be calculated by dividing the needed energy by the energy per photon.

The minimum energy needed is given as 2 x 10^-17 joules
Energy per photon = hc / lambda where h is planck's constant, c is the speed of light and lambda is the wavelength
Energy per photon = (<span>6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (475 x 10^-9)
                              = 4.18 x 10^-19 J

number of photons = (2 x 10^-17) / (4.18 x 10^-19)
                               = 47.79 photons which is approximately 48 photons</span>

Based on the kinetic theory, which statement is true?
Effectus [21]

answer is A

The kinetic theory is used to explain the behaviour of gases.

One of the assumptions states that "a gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving at different speeds".

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) engages in a chemical reaction and loses all of its valence electrons.
denpristay [2]

The loss of electron from an results in the formation of cation represented by the positive charge on the element whereas gaining of electron results in the formation of anion represented by the negative charge on the element.

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of Be is:1s^{2}2s^{2}

From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell (2s^{2}).

After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from 2s orbital. The electronic configuration will be:

1s^{2}2s^{0}

Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as Be^{2+}.

Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.

A solution of 0.0027 M K2CrO4 was diluted from 3.00 mL to 100. mL. What is the molarity of the new solution?
Stells [14]

Answer:

[K₂CrO₄] → 8.1×10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

First of all, you may know that if you dilute, molarity must decrease.

In the first solution we need to calculate the mmoles:

M = mmol/mL

mL . M = mmol

0.0027 mmol/mL . 3mL = 0.0081 mmoles

These mmoles  of potassium chromate are in 3 mL but, it stays in 100 mL too.

New molarity is:

0.0081 mmoles / 100mL = 8.1×10⁻⁵ M
