Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>

A particular laser consumes 130.0 Watts of electrical power and produces a stream of 2.67×1019 1017 nm photons per second.
solniwko [45]

The missing question is:

<em>What is the percent efficiency of the laser in converting electrical power to light?</em>

The percent efficiency of the laser that consumes 130.0 Watt of electrical power and produces a stream of 2.67 × 10¹⁹ 1017 nm photons per second, is 1.34%.

A particular laser consumes 130.0 Watt (P) of electrical power. The energy input (Ei) in 1 second (t) is:

Ei = P \times t = 130.0 J/s \times 1 s = 130.0 J

The laser produced photons with a wavelength (λ) of 1017 nm. We can calculate the energy (E) of each photon using the Planck-Einstein's relation.

E = \frac{h \times c }{\lambda }

where,

  • h: Planck's constant
  • c: speed of light

E = \frac{h \times c }{\lambda } = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}J.s  \times 3.00 \times 10^{8} m/s }{1017 \times 10^{-9} m }= 6.52 \times 10^{-20} J

The energy of 1 photon is 6.52 × 10⁻²⁰ J. The energy of 2.67 × 10¹⁹ photons (Energy output = Eo) is:

\frac{6.52 \times 10^{-20} J}{photon} \times 2.67 \times 10^{19} photon = 1.74 J

The percent efficiency of the laser is the ratio of the energy output to the energy input, times 100.

Ef = \frac{Eo}{Ei} \times 100\% = \frac{1.74J}{130.0J} \times 100\% = 1.34\%

The percent efficiency of the laser that consumes 130.0 Watt of electrical power and produces a stream of 2.67 × 10¹⁹ 1017 nm photons per second, is 1.34%.

Consider the following half-reactions and their standard reduction potential values to answer the following questions.
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Br2 (l) + 2e- ---------> 2Br- (aq) E° = 1.08 V cathode

Cu2+ (aq) + e- --------->Cu+ (aq) E° = 0.15 V anode

Explanation:

We have to first state the fact that the reaction having the most positive reduction potential occurs at the cathode in any spontaneous electrochemical cell. The half reaction with the less positive electrode potential usually occurs at the anode.

The overall reaction equation is;

2Cu2+ (aq) + Br2 (l) ----->2Cu+ (aq) + 2Br- (aq)

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cathode= 1.08 V

E°anode= 0.15V

E°cell = 1.08-0.15 = 0.93 V

But

∆G°= -nFE°cell

n= 2, F=96500C, E°cell= 0.93V

∆G° = -(2× 96500× 0.93)

∆G= -179490 J

But;

∆G = -RTlnK

R=8.314 JK-1

T= 25+273= 298K

Kc= the unknown

∆G° = -179490 J

Substituting values and making lnK the subject of the formula

lnK= ∆G/-RT

lnK= -( -179490/8.314 × 298)

lnK= 72.45

K= e^72.45

K= 2.91×10^31

An atom is described as a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by a
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged). Atoms have different properties based on the arrangement and number of their basic particles.

Question:
finlep [7]

Answer:

Cyclohexene doesn't exhibit this type of Isomerism. Cyclohexene is a tiny ring to exhibit the trans isomer. The Structural formula and component bonding characteristic within it limits it to show this phenomenon. Trying to force it to be trans would place a massive amount of ring strain on the molecule.

This characterises major rings within Alkene group up to cyclooctene.
