A 100-watt light bulb radiates energy at a rate of 100 J/s. (The watt, a unit of power or energy over time, is defined as 1 J/s.

) If all of the light emitted has a wavelength of 525 nm , how many photons are emitted per second?

Answer

2.7956 * 10^19 photons

Givens

  • Wavelength = λ = 525 * 10^-9 meters  [1 nmeter = 1*10^-9 meters]
  • c = 3 * 10^8 meters
  • E = ???
  • W = 100  watts
  • t = 1 second
  • h= plank's Constant = 6.26 * 10^-34 J*s

Formula

E = h * c / λ

W = E / t

Solution

E = 6.26 * 10^-34 j*s * 3 * 10^8 m/s /525 * 10^-9 (m)

The meters cancel out. So do the seconds. You are left with Joules as you should be.

E =  3.577 * 10^-18 Joules

What you have found is the energy of 1 photon.

Now you have to find the Joules from the watts.

W = E/t

100 * 1 second = 100 joules

1 photon contains 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18 Joules

x photon = 100 joules                        

1/x = 3.577 * 10^-18 / 100                          Cross multiply

100 = 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18 * x                         Divide both sides by 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18

100/3.577 * 10 ^ - 18 = 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18x / 3.577 * 10 ^ - 18

2.7956 * 10^19 photons = x

A sample of barium nitrate is placed into a jar containing water. The mass of the barium nitrate sample is 27g. Assume the water
34kurt
So we have Barium nitrate with a solubility of 8.7g in 100g water at 20°C.

using that relation
i.e.
8.7g (barium nitrate) =100g (water)
1g barium nitrate = 100/8.7 g water

27g barium nitrate = (100/ 8.7 ) × 27
= 310.34 g

therefore,
you need 310.34g of water is in the jar.

What is the relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide and the earths average temperature?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

carbon dioxide concentration goes down, temperature goes down. Carbon dioxide goes up temp goes up, carbon dioxide is directly related to temperature by insulating it in the earths atmosphere and if there's less of it then the temp would go down.

Ketones and aldehydes are simple compounds that contain a carbonyl group (a carbon-oxygen double bond). They are considered "simple" because they do not have reactive groups like −OH or −Cl attached directly to the carbon atom in the carbonyl group, as in carboxylic acids containing −COOH<span>.

So your answer would be D.).

I hope that this helps. :)</span>
