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?

Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago

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 chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

(A) endothermic

(A) Yes, absorbed

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 Fe₂O₃(s) ⇒ 4 FeO(s) + O₂(g)  ΔH = 560 kJ

Since ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic.

We can establish the following relations:

  • 560 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ react.
  • The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 160 g/mol.

Suppose 66.6 g of Fe₂O₃ react. The heat absorbed is:

66.6g.\frac{1mol}{160g} .\frac{560kJ}{2mol} =117kJ

What is the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio (rC/rA) for an octahedral interstitial lattice site?
mash [69]

Answer:

0. 414

Explanation:

Octahedral interstitial lattice sites.

Octahedral interstitial lattice sites are in a plane parallel to the base plane between two compact planes and project to the center of an elementary triangle of the base plane.

The octahedral sites are located halfway between the two planes. They are vertical to the locations of the spheres of a possible plane. There are, therefore, as many octahedral sites as there are atoms in a compact network.

The Octahedral interstitial void ratio range is 0.414 to 0.732. Thus, the minimum cation-to-anion radius ratio for an octahedral interstitial lattice site is 0. 414.

What would happen to a diver who does no exhale while surfacing from a 30 m dive?
sertanlavr [38]
Their lungs would try to expand to about 4 timed the normal volume which would force air into the various body tissues. this can cause a lung expansion injury and it could case air embolism. Air embolism is when air bubbles get trapped in blood vessels. This can lead to a blockage which will could be fatal.

How does mass affect heat absorbed
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the transferred heat is equal to the change in the internal energy, the heat is proportional to the mass of the substance and the temperature change. The transferred heat also depends on the substance so that, for example, the heat necessary to raise the temperature is less for alcohol than for water.  Hope that helps!:)

Difference between fluids and nonfluids
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

All liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. Fluids basically describe anything that can flow as a result of a difference in pressure between two points. Liquids on the other hand are a subset of fluids. Liquids are the incompressible fluids. These are the fluids who's density does not change sharply with pressure.

Gases are also fluids, they form the compressible fluids. They do flow as a result of difference in pressure between two points but at the same time they can be compressed or expanded. Their density fluctuates with pressure.

Hence fluids consist of 2 mutually exclusive groups of compressible and incompressible fluids. Liquids are the incompressible fluids and hence form a subset of the more general term fluid.
