What would you predict is worse based on your knowledge of quantum theory - a weak beam of ultraviolet light, or an intense beam

of infrared light?

Answer : Amongst the given choices a weak beam of ultraviolet light is considered to be the worst as compared to others.

The wavelength of UV light is from 10 nm to 400 nm, and its energy varies from 3 eV to 124 eV.

As a single beam of UV light will have much energy in each photon which is emitted. The damage done by UV rays is observed to be very harmful in human cells and may cause many diseases. UV rays can also damage the eyes as more than 99% of UV radiation is absorbed by the front of the eyes. It can also lead to ultimate blindness. Therefore, it is considered to be much worse than an intense beam of infrared light.

A chemical reaction can theoretically produce 137.5 grams of product, but in actuality 112.9 grams are
Butoxors [25]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

82.11%

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Theoretical mass of the product is 137.5 g
  • Actual mass of the product is 112.9 g

We are supposed to calculate the percentage yield

  • We need to know how percentage yield is calculated;
  • To calculate the percentage yield we get the ratio of the actual mass to theoretical mass and express it as a percentage.

Thus;

% yield = (Actual mass ÷ Experimental mass) × 100%

            = (112.9 g ÷ 137.5 g) × 100%

            = 82.11%

Therefore, the percentage yield of the product is 82.11 %

Sam follows the directions on a box of pancake mix. The box says that it makes 10 pancakes, but he is able to make 8 pancakes fr
Mice21 [21]

Given that the pancake mix can be used for the preparation of 10 pancakes. The other ingredients added to the pancake mix would be eggs, cheese, milk, salt and baking soda. If all of thee ingredients are added to the pan cake mix in required proportions, we can make 10 pan cakes. So, the theoretical yield will be 10 pancakes. But in real Sam was able to prepare only 8 pancakes. That means the number of pancakes produced was limited by the amount of other ingredients. So, the actual yield will be 8 pancakes.

Hence the correct answer B) Theoretical yield
