Answer:

Uses of various electromagnetic waves depend on their relative energy.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the term used by scientists to describe the entire range of light that exists from radio waves to gamma rays. Electromagnetic waves is a wave of alternating electric and magnetic fields. The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of all electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength. The sun, earth, and other bodies radiate electromagnetic energy of varying wavelengths. Electromagnetic energy passes through space at the speed of light in the form of sinusoidal waves. The spectrum of waves is divided into sections based on wavelength. The shortest waves are gamma rays, which have wavelengths of 10^-6 microns or less. The longest waves are radio waves, which have wavelengths of many kilometers.

The application of various electromagnetic waves in science and technology depends on the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves that possess very high amount of energy are used in medical diagnosis, treatment of tumors, searching of baggage and detection of flaws in metal casting. Examples of such electromagnetic waves include gamma rays and xrays.

Some part of the electromagnetic spectrum possess energy enough to excite chemical bonds and produce spectra characteristic of certain functional groups in molecules. The ultraviolet and infrared rays fall into this category.

Some portion of the spectrum possesses very low energy and long wavelength and are mostly used for communication, mild medical diagnosis and resonance imaging/spectroscopy. Radio waves fall into this category.

What mass of carbon dioxide (co2) can be produced from 15.6 g of c6h14 and excess oxygen?
madreJ [45]
C6H14+9.5O2=6CO2 +7H20
Number of moles of C6H14=15.6/86=0.1814 moles
so moles of CO2 = 6(0.1814)=1.088 
As the c6h14 has 1 is to 6 ratio with co2 
so
0.1814=mass/44
mass of co2 produced = 47.9 g

What is the density of a gas with a molar mass of 28.26 grams per mole at 3.510 ATM in 237 Kelvin​
Vikki [24]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 5.1 g/L

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Using the equation;

PV = nRT , where P is the pressure,. V is the volume, n is the number of moles and T is the temperature and R is the gas constant, 0.08206 L. atm. mol−1.

Number of moles is 1 since one mole has a mass equivalent to the molar mass.

Therefore; We can find the volume and thus get the density.

<em>V = nRT/P</em>

<em>    = (1 × 0.08206 × 237)/3.510</em>

<em>     = 5.5408 L</em>

<em>Hence; Density = mass/volume </em>

<em>                           = 28.26 g/5.5408 L</em>

<em>                           = 5.1 g/L</em>

<em>The Density is 5.1 g/L or 0.005 g/cm³</em>

NaNO3 ———&gt; **heat above the arrow**
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

D (Decomposition)

Explanation:

This reaction is a decomposition reaction because one substance (NaNO3) is being separated into two substances (NaNO2 and O2). Alternatively, you could use the process of elimination. The reaction can't be single/double replacement because there's only one reactant, it can't be synthesis because substances are being broken down, not formed, and it can't be combustion because O2 is a product, not a reactant, and CO2 and H2O aren't being produced, as is common with combustion reactions.
