Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.

How much energy do individual photons of 470 nm light have
IceJOKER [234]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.227 × 10^-19 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Energy of a photon of light is calculated by the formula;

E = hf, where h is the plank's constant, 6.626 × 10^-34 J-s and f is the frequency.

But, f = c/λ

Where, c is the speed of light (2.998 × 10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength.

Given the wavelength is 470 nm or 4.7 × 10^-7 m

Therefore;

E = hc/λ

  = (6.626 × 10^-34 J-s × 2.998 × 10^8 m/s) ÷ 4.7 × 10^-7 m

  = 4.227 × 10^-19 Joules

Therefore, the energy of a photon with 470 nm is 4.227 × 10^-19 Joules

Convert the MCL of antimony from milligrams per liter to parts per billion (ppb).
Aleks [24]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

According to the EPA, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of antimony in drinking water is 0.0060 mg/L.

Convert the MCL of antimony from milligrams per liter to parts per billion (ppb).

Answer : The maximum contaminant level (MCL) of antimony in drinking water in parts per billion is, 6 ppb

Explanation :

ppb : It is defined as the mass of solute present in per 1000 million (10^{-9}g) of total mass.

1 ppb = \frac{10^{-9}g\text{ of solute}}{1g\text{ of solution}}

As we know that:

1 milligrams per liter = 1000 parts per billion

or,

1 mg/L = 1000 ppb

As, 1 mg/L = 1000 ppb

So, 0.0060 mg/L = \frac{0.0060mg/L}{1mg/L}\times 1000\text{ ppb}

                             = 6 ppb

Thus, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of antimony in drinking water in parts per billion is, 6 ppb

Why are condensers called that?what is the cold water for?
Vlada [557]
This helps to lower the temperature of the system so that the vapours produced during the reaction can be distilled in liquid form and can easily be collected.

How is the sugar cube like a sedimentary rock?
noname [10]
This is heated until evaporation occurs and sugar crystals are precipitated. This is similar to how chemical sedimentary rocks are formed (like rock salt or cave limestone). It is then separated into small individual crystals. This can be representative of weathering and erosion of rock into sediment
