The difference is the following: Fission is when a heavy nucleus is very unstable and is splitted into two lighter nuclei. Fusion is in a sense the contrary process: two light nuclei combine and release more energy

Light from three different lasers (A, B, and C), each with a different wavelength, was shined on the same metal surface. Laser A
kenny6666 [7]

Explanation:

It is known that each metal has a different work function and it is just the energy required to remove the electron from the surface.

The relation between energy and work function is as follows.

             \Delta E = Q + K.E

where,   \Delta E = energy of photon

               Q = work function

             K.E = kinetic energy of electron

When the value of Q is large then the amount of energy required by the photon is also large and vice-versa.

And, when there is not sufficient energy to remove an electron from metal surface or energy is less than its work function then electron will not be removed.

On the other hand, when incoming photon will have enough energy then electron will be ejected.

In the given situation, light from laser A is not able to remove the electron from metal surface which means that energy of photon is less than work function Q.

As, both B and C are able to remove electron from the surface of metal. So, after the removal of electrons rest of the energy of photons is transferred to eject electrons and this energy is converted into kinetic energy.

As energy of B is greater than the energy of C and A has the lowest energy among all.

Therefore, order of energy from lowest to highest is as follows.

                              A < C < B

Now, the relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

                   E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,    \lambda = wavelength

So, energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Therefore, increase in energy means decrease in wavelength.

Therefore, increasing order of wavelength is as follows.

                            B < C < A

Be sure to answer all parts. Nitric oxide (NO) reacts with oxygen gas to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a dark brown gas: 2NO(g) +
notka56 [123]

<u>Answer:</u> NO is the limiting reagent in the given reaction and 0.857 moles of NO_2 will be produced.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in less amount and it limits the formation of products.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in large amount.

For the given chemical reaction:

2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)

We are given:

Moles of NO = 0.857 mol

Moles of oxygen = 0.498 mol

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of NO reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas.

So, 0.857 moles of NO will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.857=0.4285mol of O_2

As, the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, NO is considered as the limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of NO produces 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide gas.

So, 0.857 moles of NO will produce = \frac{2}{2}\times 0.857=0.857mol of NO_2

Hence, NO is the limiting reagent in the given reaction and 0.857 moles of NO_2 will be produced.

Combustion analysis of 0.300 g of an unknown compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced 0.5213 g of co2 and 0.283
Lyrx [107]
First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
                                        = 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
                                                 =0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
                          =  0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16) 
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2 
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2
