<u>Given:</u>

Frequency (ν) = 319 THz

<u>To determine:</u>

The wavelength corresponding to the given frequency

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wavelength (λ) and Frequency(ν) are related as:

λ = c/ν

where c = speed of light = 3*10⁸ m/s

Now:

SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz) also expressed as cycles per second

i.e 1 Hz = 1 s⁻¹

1 Terahertz (THz) = 10¹² Hz

therefore the given frequency ν = 319 *10¹² s⁻¹

λ = 3 * 10⁸ ms⁻¹/319 *10¹² s⁻¹ = 940 * 10⁻⁹ m

since 1 nanometer (nm) = 10⁻⁹ m

The wavelength is λ = 940 nm

Ans: The infrared wavelength = 940 nm

What is the maximum amount of HCl, in grams, that can be produced if 37.5 g of BCl3 and 60.0 g of H2O are reacted according to t

Rus_ich [418]

Ooooh boy alright. So, this may or may not be a limited reactant problem so we need to first find out of it is.

First, how many moles of each substance are there

the molar mass of BCl3 is <span>117.17 grams so 37.5 g / 117.17 is ~ .32 mol.
The molar mass of H2O is 18.02 so 60 / 18.02 is ~ 3.33 mol.

Now, for every 1 mole of BCl3, there are 3 moles of HCl created. Therefore, BCl3 can create ~ .96 moles.
For every 3 moles of H2O, there are 3 moles of HCl created. Therefore, HCl can create ~3.33 moles.

But, there is not enough BCl3 to support that 3.33 moles, only enough for .96 moles, therefore BCl3 is the limiting reactant. Now, to answer the question, simply multiply .96 moles by the molar mass of HCl.

.96 x 36.46 = ~35 g</span>

_______ properties depend on the concentration of a solute in a solution but not on the identity of the solute.

Grace [21]

This problem is providing us with a statement in which we need to figure out the word fitting in the blank. At the end, after analyzing the information, the word turns out to be colligative as show below:

<h3>Colligative properties.</h3>

In chemistry, colligative properties of solutions account for the behavior of a solution with respect to the pure solvent, to which a solute is added.

Among them, we have boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering and osmotic pressure, which are all affected by the concentration of the solute but not by the identity of the solute.
