Answer:

C is the only option that represents an empirical formula, as it can't be simplified further.

You can turn C8H18, for example: to C4H9, but you can't do the same with C2H5.

Let me know if this helps!

torisob [31]

Answer: The range of wavelengths of light that can be used to cause given phenomenon is $8.953 \times 10^{21} m$ .

Explanation:

Given: 222 kJ/mol (1 kJ = 1000 J) = 222000 J

Formula used is as follows.

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

where,

E = energy

h = Planck's constant = $6.625 \times 10^{-25} Js$

c = speed of light = $3 \times 10^{8} m/s$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\222000 J = \frac{6.625 \times 10^{-34}Js \times 3 \times 10^{8} m/s}{\lambda}\\\lambda = 8.953 \times 10^{21} m$

Thus, we can conclude that the range of wavelengths of light that can be used to cause given phenomenon is $8.953 \times 10^{21} m$ .

Calculate the volume of a 0.200 M KCl solution containing 5.00 10-2 mol of solute. Enter your answer in the provided box. IL

Paul [167]

Answer:

The volume of a 0.200 M KCl solution containing 5.00 10-2 mol of solute is 0,25 L

Explanation:

Molarity (M) means: moles of solute which are contained in 1 L of solution.

In this case we have 0,2 moles which are in 1 L, so, as we have 5x10*-2 moles we have to apply a rule of three to find out the volume.

0,2 moles ........... 1 L

5x10*-2 moles ........... x

x= (5x10*-2 moles . 1 L) / 0,2 moles = 0.25L

(we can also say 250 mL)
