The formation of carbondioxide is given by equation as

C + O2 ----> CO2(g)

As per balanced equation one mole of carbondioxide is obtained from one mole of carbon

if 44 g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12 g of carbon

if 1g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12/44 g of carbon

if 0.528g of CO2 is formed it means it contains = 12 X 0.528 / 44 g of carbon

                                                                           = 0.144g of carbon

Similarly for water

H2 + 0.5O2 ---> H2O

so one mole of water is obtained from one mole of H2

if 18g of water is formed it means 2g H2 is present

if 1g of water is formed it means 2/18 g of H2 is present

if 0.216g of water if formed it means 2 X 0.216 / 18g of H2 is present = 0.024g of Hydrogen

In glucose we have Carbon , Hydrogen and oxygen

As given the total mass of sample = 0.360g

Mass of carbon = 0.144 , moles of carbon = 0.144 / 12 = 0.012

Mass of hydrogen = 0.024 , moles of hydrogen = 0.024 /1 = 0.024

mass of oxygen = 0.360 - (0.144+0.024) = 0.192

Moles of oxygen = 0.192 / 16 = 0.012

So mole ratio of C : H : O = 0.012 : 0.024 : 0.012 = 1:2:1

Empirical formula = CH2O

An energy of 6.8 x 10^-19 J/atom is required to cause an aluminum atom on a metal surface to lose an electron.
Nana76 [90]

Wavelength of the light is 2.9 × 10⁻⁷ m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Planck - Einstein equation shows the relationship between the energy of a photon and its frequency, and they are directly proportional to each other and  it is given by the equation as E = hν,

where E is the energy of the photon

h is the Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J s

ν is the frequency

From the above equation, we can find the frequency by rearranging the equation as,

ν = $ \frac{E}{h} = $ \frac{6.8 \times 10^{-19}}{6.626\times10^{-34}} = 1.03\times10^{15} s^{-1}

Now the frequency and the wavelength are in inverse relationship with each other.

ν × λ = c

It can be rearranged to get λ as,

λ = c / ν

 = $\frac{3\times 10^{8} ms^{-1}}{1.03\times10^{15}s^{-1}} = 2.9\times 10^{-7} m

So wavelength is 2.9 × 10⁻⁷ m.

Your teacher directs you to combine two liquid substances into a flask. after you combine them, you notice that the flask feels
adelina 88 [10]

Answer : The correct option is (A).

Explanation :

  • Endothermic reaction : When two liquids are combine into a flask, then the flask feels cold when we touch it because the system absorbed heat from the surrounding.

In general, endothermic process absorbs heat and cool the surrounding.

  • Exothermic reaction : When two liquids are combine into a flask, then the flask feels hot when we touch it because the system released heat into the surrounding.

In general, exothermic process releases heat and rise the temperature of surrounding.

Endergonic reactions:
guapka [62]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) occur when there is more free energy in the reactants than the products.

Explanation :

Endergonic reactions : It i defined as the reaction in which the energy is absorbed during the reaction.

In endergonic reactions, the Gibbs free energy of product is lower than the reactants. That means, ΔG > 0 and the reaction is non-spontaneous.

Exergonic reactions : It i defined as the reaction in which the energy is released during the reaction.

In exergonic reactions, the Gibbs free energy of product is greater than the reactants. That means, ΔG < 0 and the reaction is spontaneous.

Hence, the endergonic reactions is occur when there is more free energy in the reactants than the products.
