Answer:

Wavelength (typically measured in nanometers) is the distance between two points in a wave.Frequency (typically measured in Hertz) is the number of waves in a specific time . Frequency and wavelength have both direct and inverse relationships. The crucial difference between frequency and wavelength is that frequency shows the total number of wave oscillations in a given time. As against wavelength specifies the distance between two specific points of a wave.

Explanation:

Frequency is how often something changes per second be it amplitude of a voltage on a wire or be it the bobbing back and forth of a bobblehead. Frequency is how often something moves up and down in a second. If a bobble head moves forward and backward in one second then it has a bobbling frequency of 1 Hertz (Hz). The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz) or # of cycles or oscillations per second. A wavelength is measured in distance like meters (m). For photons or light or radiowaves the equation is wavelength=speed of light/frequency.

The radius of a helium atom is a 31 PM. What is the radius in nanometers?

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Thus, the radius of the helium atom in nanometers is - 0.031 nm

Explanation:

Given that:-

The radius of the helium atom = 31 pm

Considering the conversion of length in pm to the length in nm as:-

1 pm = 0.001 nm

So,

Applying the above conversion factor in the radius of helium atom as:-

Radius = $31\times 0.001$ nm = 0.031 nm

Thus, the radius of the helium atom in nanometers is - 0.031 nm

Vitamin C contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When a 1.00 g was combusted, 1.4991 g of CO2 and 0.4092 g of H2O were obta

Alina [70]

The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components

The principle of determining empirical formula

Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass

Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{12}{44}\times 1.4991=0.409~g$

Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{2.1}{18}\times 0.4092=0.0455~g$

Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :

$\tt 1-(0.409+0.0455)=0.5455~g$

mol ratio C : H : O =

$\tt \dfrac{0.409}{12}\div \dfrac{0.0455}{1}\div \dfrac{0.5455}{16}\\\\0.0341\div 0.0455\div 0.0341\rightarrow 1\div 1.33\div 1=3\div 4\div 3$

A slice of Swiss cheese contains 47 mg of sodium. (a) What is this mass in grams? .047 (b) What is this mass in ounces? (16 oz =

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.047 g (b) 0.0016 oz (c) 0.0001 lb

Explanation:

The given mass of the sodium in the slice = 47 mg

(a) Mass has to be calculated in grams

The conversion of mg to g is shown below as:

1 mg = 10⁻³ g

So,

Mass of sodium = 47 × 10⁻³ g = 0.047 g

(b) Mass has to be calculated in ounces

The conversion of ounces to g is shown below as:

453.6 g = 16 oz

Or,

1 g = 16 / 453.6 oz

So,

Mass of sodium = (0.047 × 16) / 453.6 oz = 0.0016 oz

The conversion of pounds to g is shown below as:

1 lb = 453.6 g

Or,

1 g = 1/ 453.6 lb

So,

Mass of sodium = (0.047 × 1) / 453.6 oz = 0.0001 lb

What is the empirical formula of C3H6N2

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound C₃H₆N₂ is C₃H₆N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is the formula of the compound given in the (smallest) whole number ratio of the elements of the compound

The empirical formula of S₂O₂ is SO

The empirical formula of C₃H₆O₃ is CH₂O

The given compound's molecular formula is C₃H₆N₂

The smallest whole number ratio of of the elements of the compound is 3:6:2, therefore, the empirical formula of the compound C₃H₆N₂ is C₃H₆N₂.
