Why did scientists debate the nature of electromagnetic radiation for more than 200 years?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kifflom [539]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Scientists debated about the nature of electromagnetic radiation for more than 200 years because they could not distinguish if the radiations were made up of waves or just particles. This debate was between 1600 to the early part of 1900s.

  • Some scientists believed that electromagnetic radiations were made up of purely waves.
  • Some were of the school of thought that the radiations consists of jsut particles.
  • The wave-particle theory by Albert Einstein provided solution to this debate.
  • He simply propounded that electromagnetic radiations are made up of both waves and particles.

Today, it is widely accepted and known that electromagnetic radiations consists of both waves and particles.

Which material does not melt at any temperature?
lord [1]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Wood is a mixture of different substances. Primarily it consists of cellulose, lignin, water etc.

When we heat wood then all these substance oxidize into the atmosphere even before they could melt.

Whereas iron, sodium chloride and ethanol all are the substances which can melt at any temperature.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, wood, a mixture of different substances is a material that does not melt at any temperature.

Why is the robotic surgical system a bit like a video game?
koban [17]
It is a bit like a video game because when you dumb it down, it's basically a small robotic thing that is controlled by a controller. In video games, you have an avatar being controlled inside a game using a gamepad, in surgery you have a little machine inside of a person's body being controlled using a computer.

a heliox tank contains 32% helium and 68% oxygen. the total pressure in the tank is 395 kPa. What is the partial pressure of oxy
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Pp O2 = 82.944 KPa

Explanation:

heliox tank:

∴ %wt He = 32%

∴ %wt O2 = 68%

∴ Pt = 395 KPa

⇒ Pp O2 = ?

assuming a mix of ideal gases at the temperature and volumen of the mix:

∴ Pi = RTni/V

∴ Pt = RTnt/V

⇒ Pi/Pt = ni/nt = Xi

⇒ Pi = (Xi)*(Pt)

∴ Xi: molar fraction (ni/nt)

⇒ 0.68 = mass O2/mass mix

assuming mass mix = 100 g

⇒ mass O2 = 68 g

∴ molar mass O2 = 32 g/mol

⇒ moles O2 = (68 g)(mol/32 g) = 2.125 mol O2

⇒ mass He = 32 g

∴ molar mass He = 4.0026 g/mol

⇒ moles He = (32 g)(mol/4.0026 g) = 7.995 mol He

⇒ nt = nO2 + nHe = 2.125 mol + 7.995 mol = 10.12 moles

molar fraction O2:

⇒ X O2 = nO2/nt = (2.125 mol/10.12 mol) = 0.2099

⇒ Pp O2 = (X O2)(Pt)

⇒ Pp O2 = (0.2099)(395 KPa)

⇒ Pp O2 = 82.944 KPa

What is the mass of hydrogen in 5.5 mol of Ca(OH)2?​
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

12*2*6.022*10^23. Atoms of hydrogen.

Explanation:

First of all if u know that 1 molecule of calcium hydroxide contain 2 hydrogen atom and 1 mole of calcium hydroxide contain 6.022*10^23 molecules of calcium hydroxide.

Hence 1 mole of calcium hydroxide contain 2*6.022*10^23 atom of hydrogen.

So 12 mole of calcium hydroxide contain =12*2*6.022*10^23. Atoms of hydrogen.
