Answer:

The wavelength of these photons will become longer. The energy of each of these photons will become lower.

Explanation:

<h3>Wavelength</h3>

Light can be considered as electromagnetic waves. The wavelength of a wave is equal to the minimum distance between two troughs (lowest points) in this wave. On the other hand, the frequency of a wave is equal to the number of wavelengths that this wave travels in unit time.

Assume that the speed of light stays the same. The distance that this beam of light travels in unit time will be the same. However, with a lower frequency, there would be fewer wavelengths in that same distance. Therefore, the size of each wavelength will become longer.

If $c$ represent the speed of light and $f$ represents the frequency, then the wavelength would be:

$\displaystyle \lambda = \frac{c}{f}$ .

<h3>Energy</h3>

The energy $E$ of each proton of a beam of light is proportional to the frequency $f$ of the light. Let $h$ denote Planck's Constant. The numerical relation between $E\!$ and $f\!$ would be:

$E = h\, f$ .

Therefore, if the frequency $f$ of this light becomes smaller, the energy $E$ of each of its proton will also become proportionally lower.

Answer:

$\Delta E = 434253.96\,J$ , $\Delta P = 60.313\,W$

Explanation:

The change in energy is given by the change in gravitational potential energy:

$\Delta E = m\cdot g \cdot \Delta h$

$\Delta E = (82\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (540\,m)$

$\Delta E = 434253.96\,J$

The average rate of change in terms of time is approximately this:

$\Delta P = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta P = \frac{434253.96\,J}{(2\,h)\cdot (\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )}$

$\Delta P = 60.313\,W$

A penny has a mass of 2.50g and the Moon has a mass of ×7.351022kg, How many moles of pennies have a mass equal to the mass of t

baherus [9]

Answer: 122 moles

Procedure:

1) Convert all the units to the same unit

2) mass of a penny = 2.50 g

3) mass of the Moon = 7.35 * 10^22 kg (I had to arrage your numbers because it was wrong).

=> 7.35 * 10^22 kg * 1000 g / kg = 7.35 * 10^ 25 g.

4) find how many times the mass of a penny is contained in the mass of the Moon.

You have to divide the mass of the Moon by the mass of a penny

7.35 * 10^ 25 g / 2.50 g = 2.94 * 10^25 pennies

That means that 2.94 * 10^ 25 pennies have the mass of the Moon, which you can check by mulitiplying the mass of one penny times the number ob pennies: 2.50 g * 2.94 * 10^25 = 7.35 * 10^25.

5) Convert the number of pennies into mole unit. That is using Avogadros's number: 6.022 * 10^ 23

7.35 * 10^ 25 penny * 1 mol / (6.022 * 10^ 23 penny) = 1.22* 10^ 2 mole = 122 mol.

Answer: 122 mol

The half-reaction occurring at the cathode in the balanced reaction shown below is __________?2Ag(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 2H+(aq) → 2Ag

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Correct choice are C and D (they are both, the same).

Explanation:

Cathode is the positive(+) electrode where a reduction occurs.

Reduction is the chemical reaction where the oxidation state is reduced.

2Ag(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 2H+(aq) → 2Ag+(aq) + H2O (l)

A. 2H2O (l) → O2 (g) + 4H+ (aq) + 4e-

B. 2Ag (s) → 2Ag+ (aq) + 2e-

C. 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- → H2O (l)

D. 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- → H2O (l)

C or D, are ok. They are the same equation.

Oxygen from ground state reduce the oxidation state from 0 to -2

What is the difference between a substance and mixture ?

snow_lady [41]

Explanation:

Matter can be categorized into substances and mixtures.

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies spaces.

Substances are distinct matter with the following properties:

All parts are the same throughout i.e homogeneous
Their composition is definite
They cannot be easily separated or broken down into simpler substances by physical means
Separation by physical means is not easy
They have a unique set of physical properties.

Mixtures have the following properties:

Their composition is indefinite i.e they consist of two or more elements and/or compounds in any proportion by mass
Their constituents retains their identity
They can easily be separated by physical means
They have a broad range of physical properties.
