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>

El suero fisiológico tiene una concentración de 8,78 gr/lt. Calcula la masa de NaCl que ingresa en el organismo de un paciente a
Luda [366]

Un paciente que recibe suero fisiológico a una velocidad de infusión de 1 gota = 0,05 ml por segundo recibirá en 5 horas 790 grs de NaCl, tomando en cuenta que la solución acuosa de suero fisiológico contiene 0,878 grs/mL de NaCl.

Explicación

Los datos que se tienen son:

  • Concentración de NaCl 0,878 grs/ml
  • Volumen de la gota: 0,05 ml/gota
  • Velocidad de infusión 1 gota/ seg = 60 gotas/ min = 3 ml/min
  • Tiempo de infusión = 5 horas = 300 minutos

Ya establecidas las respectivas conversiones se trata de determinar qué volumen de suero fisiológivo se ha infundido al paciente en 5 horas

Si se infunden 3 ml cada minuto, ¿Cuánto se habrá infundido en 300 minutos?

3 ml ______________ 1 min

X ________________ 300 min

X = (300 min x 3 ml) / 1 min

X = 900 ml

Como en 5 horas el paciente ha recibido 900 ml de suero, se determina la cantidad de NaCl que se encuentra en ese volumen de líquido

0,878 grs __________ 1 ml

X ________________ 900 ml

X = (900 ml x 0,878 grs) / 1 ml

X = 790 grs de NaCl

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

2.475 mol of O2  formed.

Explanation:

Given 1.65 moles of KClO3 as the target amount in the reactant, used the coefficient of the balanced chemical reaction involved to determine the number of moles of O2 molecules formed.

x mole of  O2   = 1.65 mol  KClO3 x [(3 mol O2)/ (2 mol KClO3)] = 2.475 mol of O2

x mole of  O2 formed  = 2.475 mol of O2

Calculate the energy of the violet light emitted by a hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 410.1 nm.
Ket [755]

Answer:

4.85 x 10⁻¹⁹J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Wavelength = 410.1nm

Unknown:

The energy of the violet light = ?

Solution:

The energy of a wave can be derived using the expression below;

    E = \frac{hc}{wavelength}

h is the planck's constant

c is the speed of light

  Insert the parameters and solve;

      E = \frac{6.62 x 10^{-34}  x 3 x 10^{8} }{410.1 x 10^{-9} }   = 4.85 x 10⁻¹⁹J
