Answer:

3.025eV

Explanation:

Energy of a photon is given by

E=hν

Where h is the Planck's constant

And ν represents the frequency of the photon .

Now for violet light wavelength λ=410nm= 410x10^-9m

By using the formula ν=c/λ

where c represents speed of light I.e 3 x 10^8 m/s

Calculating energy of violet photon we have

E=hc/λ

h=6.626 x 10^-34 J.s

On inserting the value in the formula , we get

E= 4.848 x 10^-19 Joules

To convert it into electron volts we need to divide it by 1.602 x10^-19.

The final result what we have is E=3.026eV.

Note: the result calculated is according to the above value . result may vary according to the values taken .

A gaseous fuel mixture stored at 747 mmHg and 298 K contains only methane (CH4) and propane (C3H8). When 11.1 L of this fuel mix

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$M_f=38.8\%$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure $P=747mmHg$

Temperature $T=298K$

Volume $V=11.1$

Heat Produced $Q=780kJ$

Generally the equation for ideal gas is mathematically given by

$PV=nRT$

$n= (747/760) *11.1/ (0.0821*298)$

$n=0.446mol$

Therefore

$x+y=0.446$

$x=0.446-y .....1$

Since

Heat of combustion of Methane=889 kJ/mol

Heat of combustion of Propane=2220 kJ/mol

Therefore

$x(889) + y(2220) = 760 ...... 2$

Comparing Equation 1 and 2 and solving simultaneously

$x=0.446-y .....1$

$x(889) + y(2220) = 760 ...... 2$

$x=0.173$

$y=0.273$

Therefore

Mole fraction 0f Methane is mathematically given as

$M_f=\frac{x}{n}*100\%$

$M_f=\frac{1.173}{0.446}*100\%$

$M_f=38.8\%$

What is the preasure in atmospheres of 20 mol of nitrogen gas in 36.2 L cylinder at 25 degrees C?

Savatey [412]

Answer:

P = 13.5 atm

Explanation:

Given that

No. of moles, n = 20 moles

Volume of nitrogen gas = 36.2 L

Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

We need to find the pressure of the gas. Using the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

Where

R is gas constant, $R=0.082057\ L-atm/K-mol$

So,

$P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{20\times 0.082057\times 298}{36.2 }\\\\P=13.5\ atm$

so, the pressure of the gas is equal to 13.5 atm.

Problem PageQuestion Aqueous sulfuric acid will react with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and liquid w

quester [9]

Answer:

0.72g

Explanation:

Step 1:

We'll begin by writing a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH —> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Step 2:

Determination of the mass of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and the mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of H2SO4 = (2x1) + 32 +(16x4) = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98g/mol

Molar Mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Mass of NaOH from the balanced equation = 2 x 40 = 80g

Step 3

Determination of the limiting reactant. To do this, we need to know which of the reactant is excess.

Now let us consider using all of the mass of NaOH given to see if there will be left over for H2SO4. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

98g of H2SO4 required 80g of NaOH.

Therefore, Xg of H2SO4 will require 1.6g of NaOH i.e

Xg of H2SO4 = (98x1.6)/80

Xg of H2SO4 = 1.96g

Now comparing the mass of H2SO4 that reacted ( i.e 1.96g) and the mass of H2SO4 given ( i.e 2.94g), we can see clearly that there are left over ( i.e 2.94 - 1.96 = 0.98g) of H2SO4. Therefore, H2SO4 is the excess reactant and NaOH is the limiting reactant.

Step 4:

Determination of the mass of water produced from the reaction. This is illustrated below:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH —> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 2 x 18 = 36g

From the balanced equation above,

80g of NaOH reacted to produced 36g of H2O.

Therefore, 1.6g of NaOH will react to produce = (1.6 x 36)/80 = 0.72g of H2O.

Therefore, the maximum mass of water (H2O) produced by the chemical reaction of aqueous sulfuric acid with solid sodium hydroxide is 0.72g

In this lab, you will use the flame test to identify the metal ion in two boxes of unidentified fireworks. Write an investigativ

Rasek [7]

In a flame photometric analysis, salt solution is first vaporized using the heat of flame, followed by this electrons from valance shell gets excited from ground state to excited state. Followed by this de-excitation of electron bring backs electrons to ground state. This process is accompanied by emission of photon. The photon emitted is characteristic of an element, and number of photons emitted can be used for quantitative analysis.

Following are the investigative question that you can answer by doing this experiment.
1) What information can be obtained from the colour of flame?
2) State the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy?
3) Can you identify the metal present in unknown sample provided?
4) How will you identify amount of metal present in sample solution?
5) Why do different chemicals emit light of different colour?
