The eyes of reptile pass a single visual signal to the brain when the visual receptors are struck by photons of wavelength of 85

0 nm. If a total energy of 3.15 x 10-14 J is required to trip the signal, what is the minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor?

Answer: The minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor is 135\times 10^3

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the light = 3.15\times 10^{-14}J

N= Number of photons = ?

h = Planck's constant =6.6\times 10^{-34}

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength of light =850nm=850\times 10^{-9}m     (1nm=10^{-9}m)

3.15\times 10^{-14}=\frac{N\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{850\times 10^{-9}m}

N=135\times 10^3

Thus the minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor is 135\times 10^3

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.29 %</h3>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

P(\%) =  \frac{error}{actual \:  \: number}  \times 100\% \\

From the question

actual density = 19.30g/L

error = 20.9 - 19.3 = 1.6

We have

p(\%) =  \frac{1.6}{19.3}  \times 100 \\  = 8.290155440...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.29 %</h3>

Hope this helps you

Use this equation for the following problems: 2NaN3 --&gt; 2Na+3N2
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1) 65.0

2) 16.434 L = 16434 mL.

Explanation:

<em>2NaN₃ → 2Na + 3N₂,</em>

  • It is clear from the balanced equation that 2.0 moles of NaN₃ are decomposed to 2.0 moles of Na and 3.0 moles of N₂.

<em>Q1: How many grams of NaN₃ are needed to make 23.6L of N₂?​ </em>

Density of N₂ = 0.92 g/L which means that every 1.0 L of N₂ contains 0.92 g of N₂.

  • Now, we can get the mass of N₂ in 23.6 L N₂ using cross multiplication:

1.0 L of N₂ contains → 0.92 g of N₂.

23.6 L of N₂ contains → ??? g of N₂.

∴ The mass of N₂ in 23.6 L of N₂ = (23.6 L)(0.92 g)/(1.0 L) = 21.712 g.

  • We can get the no. of moles of 23.6 L of N₂ (21.712 g) using the relation:

n = mass/molar mass = (21.712 g)/(28.0 g/mol) = 0.775 mol.

  • We can get the no. of moles of NaN₃ needed to produce 0.775 mol of N₂:

<em><u>using cross multiplication:</u></em>

2.0 moles of NaN₃ produce → 3.0 moles of N₂, from the balanced equation.

??? mol of NaN₃ produce → 0.775 moles of N₂.

∴ The no. of moles of NaN₃ needed = (2.0 mol)(0.775 mol)/(3.0 mol) = 0.517 mol.

  • Finally, we can get the grams of NaN₃ needed:

<em>mass = no. of moles x molar mass</em> = (0.517 mol)(65.0 g/mol) =<em> 33.6 g.</em>

<em />

<em>Q2: How many mL of N₂ result if 8.3 g Na are also produced?</em>

  • We need to get the no. of moles of 8.3 g Na using the relation:

n = mass/atomic mass = (8.3 g)/(22.98 g/mol) = 0.36 mol.

  • We can get the no. of moles of N₂ produced with 0.36 mol of Na:

<em><u>using cross multiplication:</u></em>

2.0 moles of Na produced with → 3.0 moles of N₂, from the balanced equation.

0.36 moles of Na produced with → ??? moles of N₂.

∴ The no. of moles of N₂ needed = (3.0 mol)(0.36 mol)/(2.0 mol) = 0.54 mol.

  • We can get the mass of 0.54 mol of N₂:

mass = no. of moles  x molar mass = (0.54 mol)(28.0 g/mol) = 15.12 g.

  • Now, we can get the mL of 15.12 g of N₂:

<em><u>using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 L of N₂ contains → 0.92 g of N₂, from density of N₂ = 0.92 g/L.

??? L of N₂ contains → 15.12 g of N₂.

<em>∴ The volume of N₂ result </em>= (1.0 L)(15.12 g)/(0.92 g) = <em>16.434 L = 16434 mL.</em>
