Answer:

The speed of the given electromagnetic wave is 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is a type of energy that is commonly known as light energy. The speed of light in air is about 3 x 10⁸ meters per second (m/s).

<u>All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed</u> which is equal to speed of light, approximately 3 x 10⁸ meters per second (m/s) through a vacuum or air.

Therefore, the speed of the given electromagnetic wave is 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

How many atoms are in a solid piece of iron that has a mass of 24.0g?

Julli [10]

Atomic mass iron ( Fe ) = 55.84 a.m.u

55.84 g ------------ 6.02x10²³ atoms
24.0 g ------------- ??

24.0 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 55.84

=> 2.58x10²³ atoms

The mass spectrum of an unknown compound has a molecular ion peak with a relative intensity of 57.10% and an M+1 peak of 6.83%.

max2010maxim [7]

There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

$\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}$

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

$\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11$

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.
