(a) The first step in ozone formation in the upper atmosphere occurs when oxygen molecules absorb UV radiation of wavelengths ≤

242 nm. Calculate the frequency and energy of the least energetic of these photons. (b) Ozone absorbs light having wavelengths of 2200 to 2900 Å, thus protecting organisms on Earth’s surface from this high-energy UV radiation. What are the frequency and energy of the most energetic of these photons?

Answer:

a) f = (1.24 × 10^15) Hz and E = (8.214 × 10^-19) J

b) f = (1.36 × 10^15) Hz; E = (9.035 × 10^-19) J

Explanation:

a) The least energetic photons have the highest wavelength. That is, the wavelength of the least energetic photons is equal to the upperlimit of the wavelength inequality given.

λ = 242nm = 2.42 × 10⁻7 m

v = fλ; f = v/λ; v = 3×10^8 m/s

f = (3×10^8)/(2.42×10^-7)

f = (1.24 × 10^15) Hz

E = hf; h = planck's constant = (6.62607004 × 10^-34) Js

E = 6.626 × 10^-34 × 1.24 × 10^15

E = (8.214 × 10^-19) J

b) The photons with the least wavelength in the range provided are the most energetic ones.

λ = (2200 × 10^-10) m = (2.2 × 10^-7) m

v = fλ; f = v/λ; v = 3×10^8 m/s

f = (3×10^8)/(2.2×10^-7)

f = (1.36 × 10^15) Hz

E = hf; h = planck's constant = (6.62607004 × 10^-34) Js

E = 6.626 × 10^-34 × 1.36 × 10^15

E = (9.035 × 10^-19) J

How many grams of F are in 12.56 g of SF6? h.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

9.80 g

Explanation:

The molecular mass of the atoms mentioned in the question is as follows -

S = 32 g / mol

F = 19 g / mol

The molecular mass of the compound , SF₆ = 32 + ( 6 * 19 ) = 146 g / mol

The mass of 6 F = 6 * 19 = 114 g /mol .

The percentage of F in the compound =

mass of 6 F / total mass of the compound * 100

Hence ,  

The percentage of F in the compound = 114 g /mol  / 146 g / mol * 100

78.08 %

Hence , from the question ,

In 12.56 g of the compound ,

The grams of F = 0.7808 * 12.56 = 9.80 g

Lead−206 is the end product of 238u decay. one 206pb atom has a mass of 205.974440 amu. (a) calculate the binding energy per nuc
Dovator [93]
The atomic number for Pb is 82
∴ Pb has 82 protons and 206-82 = 14 protons
The actual mass of Pb nuclei is
=(82 × mass of the proton) + (124 × mass of neutron)
=(82× 1.00728) + (124 × 1.008664) amu
= 207.6713 amu
The mass of lead which is given is 205.9744 amu
∴mass defect is
m = 207.6713 - 205.9744 = 1.6969 amu
=1.6969 × 1.66054 × 10⁻²⁷kg
=2.818 × 10⁻²⁷kg
The binding energy is E = mc²
C is the speed of light in vacuum = 2.9979 × 10⁸m/s
∴ E = 2.532 × 10×⁻¹⁰ J/mol
= 2.532 × 10⁻¹⁰ × 6.023 × 10²³ J/mol 
= 1.53811 × 10¹⁴ J/mol
