Describe light with respect to its speed and its dual nature as both a wave and a particle.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Scientists have been debating over light being a wave or particle since its recognition.

Sir Issac Newton discovered that light had frequency and other properties. Newton described light to be a particle because it created shadows which were sharp and very clear.

Francesco Maria Grimaldi, claimed that light was a wave. This was because this scientist observed the diffraction of light and hence, claimed light to be a type of wave.

The speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s. Nothing can travel faster than light.

At 25.0°c, a solution has a concentration of 3.179 m and a density of 1.260 g/ml. the density of the solution at 50.0°c is 1.249
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: -

3.151 M

Explanation: -

Let the volume of the solution be 1000 mL.

At 25.0 °C, Density = 1.260 g/ mL

Mass of the solution = Density x volume

= 1.260 g / mL x 1000 mL

= 1260 g

At 25.0 °C, the molarity = 3.179 M

Number of moles present per 1000 mL = 3.179 mol

Strength of the solution in g / mol

= 1260 g / 3.179 mol = 396.35 g / mol (at 25.0 °C)

Now at 50.0 °C

The density is 1.249 g/ mL

Mass of the solution = density x volume = 1.249 g / mL x 1000 mL

= 1249 g.

Number of moles present in 1249 g = Mass of the solution / Strength in g /mol

= \frac{1249 g}{396.35 g/mol}

= 3.151 moles.

So 3.151 moles is present in 1000 mL at 50.0 °C

Molarity at 50.0 °C = 3.151 M
