Light does not travel at a constant speed in a vacuum, compared to in air, because the light is being absorbed by atoms and molecules in the air. But light does travel at a constant speed in a vacuum.
So I agree with A
All that talk about moving forward is irrelevant (I think)

Draw structural formulas for the alkoxide ion and the alkyl(aryl)bromide that may be used in a williamson synthesis of the ether

Juliette [100K]

Williamson synthesis is the most common way for obtaining ethers, called after its developer Alexander Williamson. It is an organic reaction of forming ethers from an organohalide and an alkoxide. The reaction is carried out according to the SN2 mechanism.

On the attached picture it is shown required alkoxide ion, <span>alkyl(aryl)bromide and the ether that forms from the reactants. </span>

When an electron in a 2p orbital of a particular atom makes a transition to the 2s orbital, a photon of approximate wavelength 6

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is $3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

Explanation:

Wavelength of the photon emitted = $\lambda =646.3 nm =646.3\times 10^{-9} m$

Energy of the photon will corresponds to the energy difference between 2p and 2s orbital = E

Energy of the photon is given by Planck's equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js$

c = Speed of the light = $3\times 10^8 m/s$

$E=\frac{6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{646.3\times 10^{-9} m}$

$E=3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is $3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

7. A 2.0 L container had 0.40 mol of He(g) and 0.60 mol of Ar(g) at 25°C.

Finger [1]

Answer:

a) Ek Ar > Ek He

b) v Ar < v He

c) If v Ar = 431 m/s ⇒ v He = 1710.44 m/s

d) Pt = 12.218 atm

e) P He = 4.887 atm and P Ar = 7.33 atm

Explanation:

container:

∴ V = 2.0 L

∴ n He = 0.4 mol

∴ n Ar = 0.6 mol

∴ T = 25°C ≅ 298 K

a) Internal energy (U) :

∴ U = Ek + Ep = kinetic energy + potential energy

∴ Ep: the potential interaction energy is neglected, assuming ideal gas mixture

⇒ U = Ek = N(1/2mv²)= 3/2 NKT

∴ N = nNo ....number of moleculas

∴ K = 1.380 E-23 J/K....Boltzmann's constant

∴ No = 6.022 E23 molec/mol....Avogadro's number

for He:

⇒ N = (0.4)(6.022 E23) = 2.4088 E23 molec

⇒ Ek = (3/2)(2.4088 E23)(1.380 E-23 J/K)(298) = 1485.892 J

for Ar:

⇒ N = (0.6)(6.022 E23) = 3.6132 E 23 molec

⇒ Ek = (3/2)(3.6132 E23)(1.380 E-23 J/K)(298) = 2228.838 J

** Ar gas has a greater average kinetic energy

b) He:

∴ N(1/2)mv² = (3/2)NKT

⇒ mv² = 3KT

⇒ v² = 3KT/m

⇒ v = √3KT/m

∴ m He = (0.4 mol)(4.0026 g/mol) = 1.601 g He = 1.601 E-3 Kg He

⇒ v = √(3(1.380 E-23)(298)/(1.601 E-3)) = 2.776 E-9 m/s He

Ar:

∴ m Ar = (0.6)(39.948 g/mol) = 23.969 g = 0.0239 Kg Ar

⇒ v = 6.99 E-10 m/s

** v Ar < v He

c) r = V Ar / v He = (6.99 E-10 m/s)/(2.776 E-9 m/s) = 0.252

∴ If v Ar = 431 m/s

⇒ v He = v Ar/0.252 = 431 m/s / 0.252 = 1710.44 m/s

d) Pt = ntRT / V

∴ nt = 0.4 + 0.6 = 1 mol

⇒ Pt = (1mol)(0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298 K)/(2.00 L) = 12.218 atm

e) P He = nRT/V = (0.4)(0.082)(298)/2 = 4.8872 atm

⇒ P Ar = Pt - PHe = 12.218 - 4.8872 = 7.33 atm
