What is the meaning of "Laser"

Chemistry

<span>A device that generates an intense beam of coherent monochromatic light (or other electromagnetic radiation) by stimulated emission of photons from excited atoms or molecules. Lasers are used in drilling and cutting, alignment and guidance, and in surgery; the optical properties are exploited in holography, reading bar codes, and in recording and playing compact discs.</span>

Predict, using Boyle’s Law, what will happen to a balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 kPa (normal atmospheric
kaheart [24]

Explanation:

Balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 k Pa will get reduced in size that is the volume of the balloon will get reduced. This is because pressure and volume of the gas are inversely related to each other.

According to Boyle's law: The pressure of the gas  is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature(in Kelvins).

pressure\propto \frac{1}{volume} (At constant temperature)

The pressure beneath the sea is 202 kPa and the atmospheric pressure  is 101.3 kPa . This increase in pressure will result in decrease in volume occupied by the gas inside the balloon with decrease in size of a balloon. Hence, the size of the balloon will get reduced at 202 kPa (under sea).

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is defined for a generic reaction:

aA + bB → cC + dD

Q=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are not those of equilibrium, but other given concentrations

Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which the direct and indirect reaction have the same speed and is represented by a constant Kc, which for a generic reaction as shown above, is defined:

Kc=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are those of equilibrium.

This constant is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

  • If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.
  • If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.
  • If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

In this case:

Q=\frac{[So_{3}] ^{2} }{[SO_{2} ]^{2}* [O_{2}] }

Q=\frac{10^{2} }{0.10^{2} *0.10}

Q=100,000

100,000 < 4,300,000 (4.3*10⁶)

Q < Kc

Single and double replacement reactions practice WS CuCl2 +<br> F2 »<br> CuF2<br> +<br> Cl2
Lapatulllka [165]
CuCl2+F2—>CuF2+Cl2.
This is a single replacement because there is one compound and one element. Picture Cu as ‘A’ Cl2 as ‘B’ and F2 as ‘C.’ So AB+C—>AC+B. A and B “broke up” and that resulted to A going with C to create the compound CuF2 leaving Cl2 alone.
