Answer:

= C3H4N

Explanation:

We are given; 90 grams carbon, 11 grams hydrogen, and 35 grams nitrogen.

We first calculate the number of moles of each element.

Carbon = 90g/12 g/mol

= 7.5 moles

Hydrogen = 11 g/ 1 g/mol

= 11 moles

Nitrogen = 35 g/ 14 g/mol

= 2.5 moles

The we get the mole ratio of the elements;

= 7.5/2.5 : 11/2.5 : 2.5 /2.5

= 3 : 4.4 : 1

= 3 : 4 : 1

Therefore;

The empirical formula will be; C3H4N

Find the de Broglie wavelength lambda for an electron moving at a speed of 1.00 \times 10^6 \; {\rm m/s}. (Note that this speed

masya89 [10]

(A) $7.28\cdot 10^{-10} m$

The De Broglie wavelength of an electron is given by

$\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$ (1)

where

h is the Planck constant

p is the momentum of the electron

The electron in this problem has a speed of

$v=1.00\cdot 10^6 m/s$

and its mass is

$m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg$

So, its momentum is

$p=mv=(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(1.00\cdot 10^6 m/s)=9.11\cdot 10^{-25}kg m/s$

And substituting into (1), we find its De Broglie wavelength

$\lambda=\frac{6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js}{9.11\cdot 10^{-25} kg m/s}=7.28\cdot 10^{-10} m$

(B) $1.16\cdot 10^{-34}m$

In this case we have:

m = 0.143 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 40.0 m/s is the speed of the ball

So, the momentum of the ball is

$p=mv=(0.143 kg)(40.0 m/s)=5.72 kg m/s$

And so, the De Broglie wavelength of the ball is given by

$\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}{5.72 kg m/s}=1.16\cdot 10^{-34}m$

(C) $9.02\cdot 10^{-9}m$

The location of the first intensity minima is given by

$y=\frac{L\lambda}{a}$

where in this case we have

$y=0.492 cm = 4.92\cdot 10^{-3} m$

L = 1.091 is the distance between the detector and the slit

$a=2.00\mu m=2.00\cdot 10^{-6}m$ is the width of the slit

Solving the formula for $\lambda$ , we find the wavelength of the electrons in the beam:

$\lambda=\frac{ya}{L}=\frac{(4.92\cdot 10^{-3}m)(2.00\cdot 10^{-6} m)}{1.091 m}=9.02\cdot 10^{-9}m$

(D) $7.35\cdot 10^{-26}kg m/s$

The momentum of one of these electrons can be found by re-arranging the formula of the De Broglie wavelength:

$p=\frac{h}{\lambda}$

where here we have

$\lambda=9.02\cdot 10^{-9}m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the formula, we find

$p=\frac{6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js}{9.02\cdot 10^{-9}m}=7.35\cdot 10^{-26}kg m/s$

A physician may need to increase a patient's prescribed dosage if he or she has developed what?

antoniya [11.8K]

The answer to this question would be: resistance

When a patient developing a resistance to a certain drug, the same amount of doses will not exert the same effect as before. The effect will be lower, thus the doctor will need to increase the dose to increase the effect
