Special properties of water are its high heat capacity and heat of vaporization, its ability to dissolve polar molecules, its cohesive and adhesive properties, and its dissociation into ions that leads to generating pH. Understanding these characteristics of water helps to elucidate its importance in maintaining life.

While you were "sweating" your chemistry test, water vapor evaporates from your body, absorbing 50,000 J of energy. (assume no
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 22 \ grams}}

Explanation:

We need to use the formula for heat of vaporization.

Q=H_{vap}*m

Identify the variables.

  • The heat absorbed by the evaporating water is the <u>latent heat of vaporization. </u>For water, that is 2260 Joules per gram.
  • Q is the energy, in this problem, 50,000 Joules.
  • m is the mass, which is unknown.

H_{vap}=2260 \ J/g\\Q=50,000 \ J \\

Substitute the values into the formula.

50,000 \ J=2260 \ J/g*m

We want to find the mass. We must isolate the variable, m.

m is being multiplied by 2260 J/g. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2260 J/g.

\frac{50,000 \ J}{2260 \ J/g} =\frac{2260 \ J/g*m}{2260 \ J/g}

\frac{50,000 \ J}{2260 \ J/g} =m

Divide. Note that the Joules (J) will cancel each other out.

\frac{50,000 \ }{2260 \ g} =m

22.1238938 \ g =m

Round to the nearest whole number. The 1 in the tenth place tells us to leave the number as is.

22 \ g \approx m

The mass is about 22 grams, so choice B is correct.

An Argon laser gives off pulses of green light (wavelength = 514 nm). If a single pulse from the laser has a total energy of 10.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

n=2.59\times 10^{16} photons

Explanation:

E=n\times \frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

Where,  

n is the number of photons

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

Given that, wavelength = 514 nm = 514\times 10^{-9}\ m

Energy = 10.0 mJ = 0.01 J ( 1 mJ = 0.001 J )

Applying the values as:-

0.01=n\times \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{514\times 10^{-9}}

\frac{19.878n}{10^{17}\times \:514}=0.01

n=2.59\times 10^{16} photons

The radius of an atom is closest in size to a
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The size of an isolated atom can't be measured because we can't determine the location of the electrons that surround the nucleus. We can estimate the size of an atom, however, by assuming that the radius of an atom is half the distance between adjacent atoms in a solid. This technique is best suited to elements that are metals, which form solids composed of extended planes of atoms of that element. The results of these measurements are therefore often known as metallic radii.
