Answer:

Infrared

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength if the electromagnetic radiation, we must use the following formula:

c = f × λ

where c is the speed of the wave (in this case it's the speed of light, which is 3 × $10^{8}$ m/s) , f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength.

Using this formula, all we have to do is plug in our values and rearrange for the answer:

c = f × λ

3 × $10^{8}$ = 5.00 x $10^{12}$ Hz × λ

λ = 3 × $10^{8}$ /5.00 x $10^{12}$

λ = 6.00 × $10^{-5}$ m = 6.00 × $10^{4}$ nm

Now that we know the wavelength we can figure out which kind of electromagnetic radiation this is.

6.00 × $10^{4}$ nm falls in the range of infrared radiation. We know this either from memorizing the values of the wavelengths or looking up a reference.

Seafood Watch has made several unsustainable fishing practices illegal. true or false

zysi [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As per the standards of fishing outlined by Seafood watch, fishing related to endangered species , threatened species, over fished or depleted species has been restricted to allow these fishes to recover otherwise they may become extinct. Catching of mammals, sharks, finish, turtles, shellfish etc. have been strictly restricted . Not only this several fishing practices have also been restricted such as sea floor netting , Night setting , Side setting, Line shooter and mainline tension, bait caster, live bait, thawing bait etc.

When octane (C8H18) is burned in the presence of oxygen, the yield of products (carbon dioxide and water) is 87%. What mass of c

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

14.5g of CO₂ are produced

Explanation:

The reaction of octane with oxygen is:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

<em>Where 1 mole of octane (Molar mass: 114.23g/mol) reacts with 25/2 moles of O₂ (Molar mass 32g/mol) to produce 8 moles of CO₂ and 9 moles of water.</em>

When 21.0 g of octane is burned with 19.0 g of oxygen gas you need to find <em>limiting reactant </em>to find how many moles of products are formed:

Octane: 21.0g ₓ (1mol / 114.23g) = 0.184 moles octane

Oxygen: 19.0g ₓ (1 mol / 32g) = 0.594 moles oxygen

For a complete reaction of 0.184 moles of octane you will need:

0.184 moles C₈H₁₈ ₓ (25/2 moles O₂ / 1 mole C₈H₁₈) = <em>2.3 moles of oxygen</em>

As you have just 0.594 moles of oxygen, <em>Oxygen is limiting reactant.</em>

Based on chemical equation, 25/2 of O₂ produce 8 moles of CO₂, that means theoretical yield of CO₂ with 0.594 moles of O₂ is:

0.594 moles O₂ ₓ (8 moles CO₂ / 25/2 moles O₂) = 0.380 moles of CO₂

But, as yield of products is 87%, moles produced of CO₂ are:

0.380 moles of CO₂ ₓ 87% = 0.331 moles CO₂ are produced.

As molar mass of CO₂ is 44g/mol, mass of CO₂ in 0.331 moles is:

0.331 moles CO₂ ₓ (44g / mol) =

<h3>14.5g of CO₂ are produced</h3>

Two gas-filled tanks have the same volume, temperature, and pressure. They are identical in every way except that one is filled

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The tank with O₂ weighs more.

Explanation:

We can find the mass of gas using the ideal gas equation.

$P.V=n.R.T=\frac{m}{M} .R.T\\m=\frac{P.V.M}{R.T}$

Considering the pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T) and ideal gas constant (R) are the same, we can establish that:

m ∝ M

The mass is directly proportional to the molar mass. The molar mass of O₂ (32 g/mol) is higher than the molar mass of N₂ (28 g/mol). Therefore, the tank with O₂ weighs more.
