Answer:

An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge.

A chemist determined by measurements that 0.050 moles of aluminum participated in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of alu

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

13.5 g

Explanation:

This question is solved easily if we remember that the number of moles is obtained by dividing the mass into the atomic weight or molar mass depending if we are referring to elements or molecules.

Therefore, the mass of aluminum in the reaction will the 0.050 mol Al times the atomic weight of aluminum.

number of moles = n = mass of Al / Atomic Weight Al

⇒ mass Al = n x Atomic Weight Al = 0.050 mol x 27 g mol⁻¹

= 13.5 g

We have three significant figures in 0.050 and therefore we should have three significant figures in our answer.

rosijanka [135]

Explanation:

The relation between $K_a\&K_b$ is given by :

$K_w=K_a\times K_b$

Where :

$K_w=1\times 10^{-14}$ = Ionic prodcut of water

The value of the first ionization constant of sodium sulfite = $K_{a1}=1.4\times 10^{-2}$

The value of $K_{b1}$ :

$1\times 10^{-14}=1.4\times 10^{-2}\times K_{b1}$

$K_{b1}=\frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{1.4\times 10^{-2}}=7.1\times 10^{-13}$

The value of the second ionization constant of sodium sulfite = $K_{a2}=6.3\times 10^{-8}$

The value of $K_{b2}$ :

$1\times 10^{-14}=6.3\times 10^{-8}\times K_{b1}$

$K_{b1}=\frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{6.3\times 10^{-8}}=1.6\times 10^{-7}$

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 525 nm appears as green light to the human eye. The energy of one photon of this

Sedbober [7]

Answer: The energy of one photon of the given light is $3.79\times 10^{-19}J$

Explanation:

To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = $525nm=5.25\times 10^{-7}m$ (Conversion factor: $1m=10^9nm$ )

h = Planck's constant = $6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{5.25\times 10^{-7}mm}\\\\E=3.79\times 10^{-19}J$

Hence, the energy of one photon of the given light is $3.79\times 10^{-19}J$
