5 0

Answer:

3 moles of Oxygen

Explanation:

The chemical formula of a compound is a representation which shows all the elements therein and the mole relationship between them expressed as subscripts.

   NaHCO₃  implies:

      1 mole of baking soda contains:

     1 mole of Na

     1 mole of Hydrogen

     1 mole of carbon

  And 3 moles of Oxygen

If the detector is capturing 3.3×108 photons per second at this wavelength, what is the total energy of the photons detected in
Reil [10]

Answer:

The total energy of the photons detected in one hour is 7.04*10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

The energy carried by electromagnetic radiation is displaced by waves. This energy is not continuous, but is transmitted grouped into small "quanta" of energy called photons. The energy (E) carried by electromagnetic radiation can be measured in Joules (J). Frequency (ν or f) is the number of times a wave oscillates in one second and is measured in cycles / second or hertz (Hz). The frequency is directly proportional to the energy carried by a radiation, according to the equation: E = h.f, (where h is the Planck constant = 6.63 · 10⁻³⁴ J / s).

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. it is expressed in units of length (m). In light and other electromagnetic waves that propagate at the speed of light (c), the frequency would be equal to the speed of light (≈ 3 × 10⁸ m / s) between the wavelength :

f=\frac{speed of light}{wavelength}

So:

E=\frac{h*speed of light}{wavelength}

In this case, the wavelength is 3.35mm=3.35*10⁻³m and the energy per photon is:

E=\frac{6.63*10^{-34}*3*10^{8}}{3.35*10^{-3} }

E=5.93*10⁻²³ \frac{J}{proton}

The detector is capturing  3.3*10⁸ photons per second. So, in 1 hour:

E=5.93*10^{-23} \frac{J}{proton} *3.3*10^{8} \frac{proton}{s} *\frac{60}{1} \frac{s}{minute} *\frac{60}{1} \frac{minute}{hr}

E=7.04*10⁻¹¹ \frac{J}{hr}

The total energy of the photons detected in one hour is 7.04*10⁻¹¹ J

If a sample containing 18.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 90.4 g of
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

3.64g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NH₃  = 18.1g

Mass of Cu₂O  = 90.4g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant  = ?

Mass of N₂ formed  = ?

Solution:

The reaction equation is given as:

       Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O

The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;

  Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16  = 143.2g/mol

Molar mass of NH₃  = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol

Number of moles of Cu₂O = \frac{18.1}{143.2}   = 0.13moles

Number of moles of NH₃   = \frac{90.4}{17}   = 5.32moles

  From this reaction;

       1 mole of  Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃

So   0.13moles of  Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃

                                              = 0.26moles of NH₃

Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;

Mass of N₂;

   Mass = number of moles x molar mass

    1 mole of Cu₂O  will produce 1 mole of N₂

    0.13 mole of Cu₂O  will produce 0.13 mole of N₂

    Mass  = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g
