Classically, if you put a particle in a box, it can have Zero kinetic energy (ie the particle is not moving). But a quantum part

icle always has some kinetic energy. The difference between the lowest value of the potential energy and the energy of the lowest energy eigenstate is called the Zero Point Energy. Consider a 1D box that is one nanometer in length. What is the zero point energy for an electron, a proton, a methane molecule, and a gold atom in Joules

Answer:

Electron = 6.030 × 10^-21 J.

Proton = 3.37 × 10^-23J.

Methane = 2.06 × 10^-24J.

Gold = 1.67 × 10^-25J.

Explanation:

Without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question above.

One an energy formula will be used in solving this question. This formula is given below;

Energy, E = (n^2 × h^2)/8 × m× L^2.

Where m = mass, n = number of energy level, h = planck's constant and L = length.

Therefore, for electron;

Energy, E = (6.626 × 10^−34)^2/ ( 8 × 9.1 × 10^-31 × [1 x 10^-9m]^2 =6.030× 10^-21J.

For proton;

Energy, E = (6.626 × 10^−34 )^2 / (8

× 1.626 × 10^-27 × [1 × 10^-9]^2) = 3.37 × 10^-23J.

For methane;

Energy, E = (6.626 × 10^-34) ^2/ ( 8 × 2.66 × 10^-26 × [1 × 10^-9]^2 = 2.06 × 10^-24J.

For Gold;

Energy, E =( 6.626 × 10^−34)^2 / ( 8 × 3.27 × 10^-25 × [ 1 × 10^-9]^2) = 1.67 × 10^-25J.

NB: n = 1 = Zero Point Energy.

labwork [276]

Answer: 4 molL-1

Explanation:

Detailed solution is shown in the image attached. The number of moles of NaCl is first obtained. Since the molarity must be in units of molL-1, the volume is divided by 1000 and the formula stated in the solution is applied and the answer is given to one significant figure.

What is the process used to convert between moles, mass, volume, and particles?
Roman55 [17]

conversion between mass and moles#

<em> </em>

<em>A substance's molar mass is calculated by multiplying its relative atomic mass by the molar mass constant (1 g/mol). The molar mass constant can be used to convert mass to moles. By multiplying a given mass by the molar mass, the amount of moles of the substance can be calculated.</em>
