Answer: 1.274 * 10^ -7 meter (same as 127.4 nanometers

Explanation:

It's given that the energy

required to break the N N triple bond is 945 * 10^3 joules per mole.

One mole contains 6.02 * 10^ 23 molecules, so the energy required per molecule

= 945 * 10^3 / 6.023 * 10^23, or 1.56 * 10^-18 joules.

Then we need a photon whose energy (E) is at least that amount.

The energy E of a photon is related to its frequency f by PLANCK'S EQUATUON,

E = hf,

where h is Planck's constant (6.625 * 10^-34 joule-sec)

and the wavelength w is inversely proportional to the frequency by w = c/f, where c is the speed of light, 2.998 * 10^8 meters per sec.

If h & c are both constants, their product hc is constant, so we can say E = hc/w,

or if we know E and want to find w, a little algebra gives: w = hc/E.

The product hc = 1.9875 * 10^-25 joule-meters,

so w = 1.9875 * 10^-25 / 1.56 * 10^-18, or 1.274 * 10^ -7 meter (same as 127.4 nanometers

marusya05 [52]
1) Chemical reaction 1: 4Cu + O₂ →  2Cu₂O.
n(Cu) = 88,8 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,4.
n(O) = 11,2 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,4 : 0,7.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 2 : 1.
Compound is Cu₂O.
2) Chemical reaction 2: 2Cu + O₂ →  2CuO.
n(Cu) = 79,9 ÷ 63,55.
n(Cu) = 1,257.
n(O) = 20,1 ÷ 16.
n(O) = 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1,257 : 1,257.
n(Cu) : n(O) = 1 : 1.
Compound is CuO.

___ Particles of which of the following have the greatest thermal energy
abruzzese [7]
Salutations!

<span>___ Particles of which of the following have the greatest thermal energy

Gas is the particle that has the greatest thermal energy. Gas has the greatest thermal energy because the movement between particles is clump. This thermal energy is then converted into kinetic energy.

Thus, your answer is option C.

Hope I helped (:
