Answer:

x=2

Explanation:

Because alkanes have a general formula of CnH(2n+2).

We known that 2n+2=6, so we solve for n.

2n+2=6

2n=4

n=2

Thus, there are 2 carbon atoms.

Answer:

$x = 2$

Explanation:

General formula for alkanes

$C _{n}H _{2n + 2}$

since H = 6

$2n + 2 = 6 \\ 2n = 4 \\ n = 2 \\ since \: x = n\\ \therefore \: x = 2$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 2C_4H_10+13O_2\longrightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O$

13mol of O_2 reacts with 2mols of C_4H_10.
7.5mol of O_2 reacts with 1mol of C_4H_10

No of moles:-

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{400}{58}$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 6.89mol$

Now

Moles of O_2

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 7.5(6.89)=51.6mol$

Mass of O_2

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 51.6(32)=1651.2g$

If a laser light is compose of photons each with an energy of 4.58 × 10−19 J, what is the photon energy of this light in units o

kap26 [50]

Answer : The photon energy of this light in units of nanometers, (nm) is, $4.34\times 10^{-2}nm$

Solution :

Formula used :

$E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of photon = $4.58\times 10^{-19}J$

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

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

$\lambda$ = wavelength = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$4.58\times 10^{-19}J=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=4.3017\times 10^{-7}m=434.017\times 10^{-9}m=434.017nm=4.34\times 10^{-2}nm$

conversion used : $(1nm=1\times 10^{-9}m)$

Therefore, the photon energy of this light in units of nanometers, (nm) is, $4.34\times 10^{-2}nm$
