Answer:
Choice A: Approximately
joules.
Explanation:
Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the
kilograms of mass.
,
where
stands for energy,
stands for mass, and
is the speed of light in vacuum.
The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of
?
The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:
Mass is in kilograms.
Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light,
.
Apply the mass-energy equivalence:
.
The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)
.
However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)
.
In other words, the mass defect here is also
.
Frequency = velocity of propagation / wavelength.
<span>For light, we assume it is moving in a vacuum, so vp is 3e8 m/s. The wavelength of 310nm is 310e-9 meters. Then we plug the numbers in, and we get (3e8 m/s) / (310e-9 m) = 967.742e12 Hz because 1/s is the same as cycles/sec, which is a Hertz.</span>
Answer:
a) alkali metals
Explanation:
The element described above definitely belonged to the alkali metals, the first group on the periodic table. They show the properties indicated in the text.
- They are metals because only metals are lustrous and malleable. This eliminates the possibility of them being halogens and noble gases.
- Only group 1 metals reacts vigorously with water to form alkali.
- Alkali are aqueous solutions that are basic in nature.
- The reactivity of group 1 metals is due to their one extra electrons in the outer most shell.
- These electrons are easily and readily lost in order for such atoms to gain stability and replicate the nearest noble gases.
- The most reactive metal belongs to this group elements.
- This is why it is nearly impossible to find them occurring alone in free state.
- Some of the elements in this group are Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr.
- Transition metals have variable oxidation states and some can be found alone in nature.
Answer:
Electrons treated as waves
Explanation:
Yes, it is a liquid because a solid is a state of matter with a fixed volume and shape; and Gases take both the shape and the volume of their container; and liquid is the one that takes the shape of their container but not necessarily the volume.
