A food is initially at a moisture content of 90% dry basis. Calculate the moisture content in wet basis

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Moisture content in wet basis = 47.4 %

Explanation:

Moisture content expresses the amount of water present in a moist sample. Dry basis and wet basis are widely used to express moisture content.

The next equation express the moisture content in wet basis:

$MC_{wb}=\frac{MC_{db}}{1+MC_{db}}$

where, $MC_{wb}$ : moisture content in wet basis and

$MC_{db}$ : moisture content in dry basis

We now calculate the moisture content in wet basis:

$MC_{wb}=\frac{MC_{db}}{1+MC_{db}}$

$MC_{wb}=\frac{0.90}{1+0.90}$

$MC_{wb}$ = 0.474 = 47.4 % wet basis

Have a nice day!

Consider a transition of the electron in the hydrogen atom from n=3 to n=7.

kow [346]

Answer:

For a: The wavelength of light is $1.005\times 10^{-6}m$

For b: The light is getting absorbed

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = $1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}$

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = 7

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 3

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{7^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =1.005\times 10^{-6}m$

Hence, the wavelength of light is $1.005\times 10^{-6}m$

For b:

There are two ways in which electrons can transition between energy levels:

Absorption spectra: This type of spectra is seen when an electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level. In this process, energy is absorbed.
Emission spectra: This type of spectra is seen when an electron jumps from higher energy level to lower energy level. In this process, energy is released in the form of photons.

As, the electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level. The wavelength is getting absorbed.
