Answer : The distance between the two atoms is 1.2\times 10^{-10}m

Explanation :

The The formula used for moment of inertia for one atom is:

I=(\frac{m}{2})r^2

The formula used for moment of inertia for two atom is:

I=2(\frac{m}{2})r^2

where,

I = moment inertia = 1.9\times 10^{-46}kg.m^2

r = distance of atom from axis of rotation

m = mass of atom = 5.3\times 10^{-26}kg

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

I=2(\frac{m}{2})r^2

1.9\times 10^{-46}kg.m^2=2(\frac{5.3\times 10^{-26}kg}{2})r^2

r=6.0\times 10^{-11}m

Now we have to calculate the distance between the two atoms.

Formula used :

d=2r

where,

d = distance between the two atoms

d=2\times 6.0\times 10^{-11}m=1.2\times 10^{-10}m

Therefore, the distance between the two atoms is 1.2\times 10^{-10}m

The role of pigments both in capturing light energy and in converting it to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)

Explanation:

Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.

Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called  NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures  an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..

Chemistry help!!
Scrat [10]

The student originally has 252 grams of water in this experiment.

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS:

  • The law of conservation of mass explains that matter (mass) can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.

  • This means that in a chemical reaction, the sum of the masses of the reactants must equate to the total mass of product(s).

  • According to this question, a student conducts an experiment to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. The student collects 28.0 g of hydrogen and 224.0 g of oxygen.

  • Since hydrogen and oxygen are the constituent elements of water, the sum of their masses must equate the mass of water.

  • Therefore, 224g of oxygen + 28g of hydrogen = 252g of water.

A sample of gas contains 0.1700 mol of NH3(g) and 0.2125 mol of O2(g) and occupies a volume of 17.8 L. The following reaction ta
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The volume of the sample after the reaction takes place is 19.78 L.

Explanation:

The given variables are;

Number of moles of NH₃(g) = 0.1700 mol

Number of moles of O₂(g) = 0.2125 mol

Volume occupied by the mixture = 17.8 L

The reaction

4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(g)

Then takes place

That is 4 moles of NH₃(g) reacts with 5 moles of O₂(g) to produce 4 moles of NO(g) and 6 moles of H₂O(g).

Since there are less number of moles of NH₃(g) (= 0.1700 mol) in the mixture, we factor the above equation by the number of moles of NH₃(g)  present.

That is,

1 moles of NH₃(g) reacts with 5/4 moles of O₂(g) to produce 1 moles of NO(g) and 3/2 moles of H₂O(g).

Therefore,

0.1700 mol of NH₃(g) reacts with 5/4×0.1700  moles of O₂(g) to produce 0.1700  moles of NO(g) and 3/2×0.1700  moles of H₂O(g).

Which gives

0.1700 mol of NH₃(g) reacts with 0.2125  moles of O₂(g) to produce 0.1700  moles of NO(g) and 0.255  moles of H₂O(g).

Therefore, all of the NH₃(g) and O₂(g)  are consumed in the reaction and the present gases in sample then becomes

0.1700  moles of NO(g) and 0.255  moles of H₂O(g).

Total number of moles of reactant = 0.17 + 0.2125 = 0.3825

Total number of moles of product formed = 0.17 + 0.255 = 0.425

However, Avogadro's law states that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains equal number of molecules.

That is volume occupied by  0.3825 moles of gas = 17.8 L

Therefore the volume occupied by  0.425 moles of gas = 17.8×0.425/0.3825 L = 19.78 L
