How does black and coloured objects absorb light and convert it into heat?

Chemistry

Answer:

Light energy can be converted into heat energy. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably.

An organic acid is composed of carbon (68.84%), hydrogen (4.96%), and oxygen (26.20%). Its molar mass is 122.12 g/mol. Determine

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound is $C_{7}H_{6}O_{2}$ .

Explanation:

Let consider that given percentages are mass percentages, so that mass of each element are determined by multiplying molar massof the organic acid by respective proportion. That is:

Carbon

$m_{C} = \frac{68.84}{100}\times \left(122.12\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)$

$m_{C} = 84.067\,g$

Hydrogen

$m_{H} = \frac{4.96}{100}\times \left(122.12\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)$

$m_{H} = 6.057\,g$

Oxygen

$m_{O} = \frac{26.20}{100}\times \left(122.12\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)$

$m_{O} = 31.995\,g$

Now, the number of moles ( $n$ ), measured in moles, of each element are calculated by the following expression:

$n = \frac{m}{M}$

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the element, measured in grams.

$M$ - Molar mass of the element, measured in grams per mol.

Carbon ( $m_{C} = 84.067\,g$ , $M_{C} = 12.011\,\frac{g}{mol}$ )

$n = \frac{84.067\,g}{12.011\,\frac{g}{mol} }$

$n = 7$

Hydrogen ( $m_{H} = 6.057\,g$ , $M_{H} = 1.008\,\frac{g}{mol}$ )

$n = \frac{6.057\,g}{1.008\,\frac{g}{mol} }$

$n = 6$

Oxygen ( $m_{O} = 31.995\,g$ , $M_{O} = 15.999\,\frac{g}{mol}$ )

$n = \frac{31.995\,g}{15.999\,\frac{g}{mol} }$

$n = 2$

For each mole of organic acid, there are 7 moles of carbon, 6 moles of hydrogen and 2 moles of oxygen. Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is:

$C_{7}H_{6}O_{2}$

If I add hydronium ion (H 3 O+) or Hydrogen Ions (H+) to a solution,

Oduvanchick [21]

The solution will be acidic if it contains a greater concentration of hydronium ions and acidic if it contains a greater concentration of hydrogen ions. So High concentrations of hydrogen lead to low pH(acidic) whereas low levels of hydrogen ions result in in a high pH(basic)

The intensity of a sound describes

baherus [9]

The intensity of a sound describes its loudness at a particular distance

Sound intensity is factored by the ear's sensitivity to the particular frequencies contained in a sound

Sound loudness describes the strength of the ear's perception of a sound.

These two points being said, if the ear is more sensitive to a frequency, that sound will be louder to us than sounds at different frequencies that might not be as sensitive to our ears. So, the more intense the sound, the louder it is ;)

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day! :D
