<h2>Answer:</h2>

It depends upon the nature of the material

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Light traveling through different mediums have different effects. For example if the given solid material is a transparent material such as glass then light wave will diffract from its original path and if the solid material is an opaque object then light wave will not pass through it at all.

The following reaction produces ethanoic acid (CHACOOH) from methanol (CH3OH) and carbon

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{300 g}}$

Explanation:

We will need a balanced chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

M_r: 32 60

CH₃OH + CO ⟶ CH₃COOH

m/g: 160

(a) Moles of CH₃OH

$\text{Moles of CH$_{3}$OH} = \text{160 g CH$_{3}$OH }\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CH$_{3}$OH }}{\text{32 g CH$_{3}$OH}}= \text{5.00 mol CH$_{3}$OH}$

(b) Moles of CH₃COOH

$\text{Moles of CH$_{3}$COOH} = \text{5.00 mol CH$_{3}$OH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CH$_{3}$COOH}}{\text{1 mol CH$_{3}$OH }} = \text{5.00 mol CH$_{3}$COOH}$

(c) Mass of CH₃COOH

$\text{Mass of CH$_{3}$COOH} =\text{5.00 mol CH$_{3}$COOH} \times \dfrac{\text{60 g CH$_{3}$COOH}}{\text{1 mol CH$_{3}$COOH}} = \textbf{300 g CH$_{3}$COOH}\\\\\text{The maximum mass of ethanoic acid that can be produced is $\boxed{\textbf{300 g}}$}$

In IR spectroscopy, we normally talk about "frequencies" when in reality we are referring to wavenumbers. What is the mathematic

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

(b) Wavenumber and wavelength

The wavenumber is the distance over which a cycle repeats, that is, it is the number of waves in a unit distance.

$\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

Thus, if λ = 3 µm,

$\bar \nu = \dfrac{1}{3 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}}= 3.3 \times 10^{5}\text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3300 cm}^{-1}$

(a) Wavenumber and frequency

Since

λ = c/f and 1/λ = f/c

the relation between wavenumber and frequency is

$\bar \nu = \mathbf{\dfrac{f}{c}}$

Thus, if f = 90 THz

$\bar \nu = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{12} \text{ s}^{-1}}{3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}= 3 \times 10^{5} \text{ m}^{-1} = \textbf{3000 cm}^{-1}$

(c) Units

(i) Frequency

The units are s⁻¹ or Hz.

(ii) Wavelength

The SI base unit is metres, but infrared wavelengths are usually measured in micrometres (roughly 2.5 µm to 20 µm).

(iii) Wavenumber

The SI base unit is m⁻¹, but infrared wavenumbers are usually measured in cm⁻¹ (roughly 4000 cm⁻¹ to 500 cm⁻¹).

Which process was responsible for producing gases in the early atmosphere?

andre [41]

Answer: The early atmosphere

Explanation: Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence. The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen.

Write the equation for the reaction described: A solid metal oxide, Ag2O, and hydrogen are the products of the reaction between

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

2Ag + H2O -----> Ag2O + 2H

Explanation:

2Ag + H2O -----> Ag2O + 2H is the equation of the reaction between metal and steam. Silver reacts with water (steam) forming silver oxide and hydrogen gas. When the metals react with steam it produces the solid metal oxide and hydrogen gas. On the surface o metals, a protective layer of aluminium oxide is formed that keeps water away from the metal so we can say that silver oxide and hydrogen are formed from the reaction of silver metal and steam.
