The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.708 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light inci

dent on the sheet is 0.960 W/m2. Determine the angle that the transmission axis of the polarizing sheet makes with the horizontal.

Answer:

Angle θ = 30.82°

Explanation:

From Malus’s law, since the intensity of a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared, the intensity I of the transmitted wave is related to the incident wave by; I = I_o cos²θ

where;

I_o is the intensity of the polarized wave before passing through the filter.

In this question,

I is 0.708 W/m²

While I_o is 0.960 W/m²

Thus, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

0.708 W/m² = 0.960 W/m² •cos²θ

Thus, cos²θ = 0.708 W/m²/0.960 W/m²

cos²θ = 0.7375

Cos θ = √0.7375

Cos θ = 0.8588

θ = Cos^(-1)0.8588

θ = 30.82°

ome metal oxides can be decomposed to the metal and oxygen under reasonable conditions. 2 Ag2O(s) → 4 Ag(s) + O2(g) Thermodynami

yuradex [85]

Answer : The values of $\Delta H^o,\Delta S^o\text{ and }\Delta G^o$ are $62.2kJ,132.67J/K\text{ and }22.66kJ$ respectively.

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Ag_2O(s)\rightarrow 4Ag(s)+O_2(g)$

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction $(\Delta H^o)$ .

$\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{product}$

$\Delta H^o=[n_{Ag}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Ag)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}]-[n_{Ag_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Ag_2O)}]$

where,

$\Delta H^o$ = enthalpy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_f^0$ = standard enthalpy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta H^o=[4mole\times (0kJ/mol)+1mole\times (0kJ/mol)}]-[2mole\times (-31.1kJ/mol)]$

$\Delta H^o=62.2kJ=62200J$

conversion used : (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now we have to calculate the entropy of reaction $(\Delta S^o)$ .

$\Delta S^o=S_f_{product}-S_f_{product}$

$\Delta S^o=[n_{Ag}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(Ag)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(O_2)}]-[n_{Ag_2O}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(Ag_2O)}]$

where,

$\Delta S^o$ = entropy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta S_f^0$ = standard entropy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta S^o=[4mole\times (42.55J/K.mole)+1mole\times (205.07J/K.mole)}]-[2mole\times (121.3J/K.mole)]$

$\Delta S^o=132.67J/K$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

As we know that,

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o-T\Delta S^o$

At room temperature, the temperature is 298 K.

$\Delta G^o=(62200J)-(298K\times 132.67J/K)$

$\Delta G^o=22664.34J=22.66kJ$

Therefore, the values of $\Delta H^o,\Delta S^o\text{ and }\Delta G^o$ are $62.2kJ,132.67J/K\text{ and }22.66kJ$ respectively.
