Base on the question all about the human eye were an optic nerve of it needs an energy of 2.10x10^-17J that could trigger a series of impulses that eventually reach to the brain. So the possible photons of blue light needed for for this energy is 52 photons

We can model the 1,3,5-hexatriene as a box of length 0.904 nm, with 6 electrons in the first three energy levels. What is the fr
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

v = 7.85 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

The first three energy level can be represented as follows:

⇅ ------> n₄ = 4

⇅ ------> n₃ = 3

⇅ ------> n₂  = 0

ΔE = hv = \frac{h^2}{8me^2}(n_4^2-n_3^2)

ΔE = hv = \frac{h^2}{8me^2}(4^2-3^2)

ΔE = hv = \frac{h^2}{8me^2}(16-9)

ΔE = hv = \frac{7*h^2}{8me^2}

where h = planck constant = 6.626*10^{-34} J.s

mass (m) = 9.11*10^{-11}

e = 0.904 nm = 0.9*10^{-9} m

hv = \frac{7*h^2}{8me^2}

hv = \frac{7*(6.6246*10^{-34})^2}{8*9.11*10^{-31}*(0.9*10^{-9})^2}

hv =  \frac{3.07197276*10^{-66}}{5.90328*10^{-48}}

hv = 5.20384051*10^{-19} J

v = \frac{5.20384051*10^{-19}}{h}

v = \frac{5.20384051*10^{-19}J}{6.626*10^{-34}J.s}

v =  7.85366814 *10^{14}s^{-1

v = 7.85 × 10¹⁴ Hz     (since s⁻¹ is equivalent to 1 Hz)

Thus, the frequency of an electronic transition from the highest-occupied orbital to the lowest-unoccupied orbital = 7.85 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Which of the following notations would be the appropriate and final way to display the formula for magnesium chloride?
lana [24]
The answer IS letter C. For magnesium to pair with chlorine and be neutral, magnesium must pair with two chlorines. Magnesium is in column 2 which means it has two valance electrons to "give away." If it gives away its two valance electrons, it becomes a +2 cation. Chlorine readily accepts only one electron, and when it does it becomes a -1 anion. So what does this mean? Well, Magnesium Chloride is made up of 1 Mg atom, and 2 Chlorine atoms because it forms a neutral compound. Mg gives 1 electron to each Cl atom forming a +2 -2 neutral compound. The Mg bares a +2 charge after giving its two valance electrons away, and each Cl bares a -1 charge after taking an electron. Hence +2 -2, which is neutral. This is why the formula is MgCl2.

Grams can be converted to moles and vice versa which conversion factors is/are used for this
Stels [109]

Answer:

Converting Grams to Moles of an Element and Vice Versa.

We can convert back and forth between grams of an element and moles.

The conversion factor for this is the molar mass of the substance. The molar mass is the ratio giving the number of grams for each one mole of the substance

molar mass is the factor
