Answer:

    #_photons = 30 photons / s

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the energy of a photon of light, let's use the Planck relation

         E = h f

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

         c = λ f

we substitute

         E = h c /λ

         E₀ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/500 10⁻⁹

         E₀ = 3.978 10⁻¹⁹ J

now let's use a direct proportion rule. If the energy of a photon is Eo, how many fornes has an energy E = 1.2 10⁻¹⁷ J in a second

          #_photons = 1 photon   (E / Eo)

          #_photons = 1  1.2 10⁻¹⁷ /3.978 10⁻¹⁹

          #_photons = 3.0 10¹

          #_photons = 30 photons / s

alexdok [17]

Answer:

t=67.7s

Explanation:

From this question we know that:

Vo = 6m/s

a = 1.8 m/s2

D = 1500m

And we also know that:

X=V_{o}*t + \frac{a*t^{2}}{2}   Replacing the known values:

1500=6t+0.9*t^{2}    Solving for t we get 2 possible answers:

t1 = -44.3s   and t2 = 67.7s    Since negative time represents an instant before the beginning of the movement, t1 is discarded. So, the final answer is:

t = 67.7s

In a chemical reaction, molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O2) in a sealed reaction chamber to p
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that the molecules of hydrogen gas (H_2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O_2) in a sealed reaction chamber to produce water (H_2O).

The governing equation for the reaction is

2H_2 +O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

From the given, the only fact that can be observed that 2 moles of H_2 and 1 mole of O_2 reacts to produce 2 moles of H_2O.

As the mass of 1 mole of H_2 = 2 grams ... (i)

The mass of 1 mole of O_2 = 32 grams ...(ii)

The mass of 1 mole of H_2O = 18 grams (iii)

Now, the mass of the reactant = Mass of 2 moles of H_2 + mass 1 mole of  O_2

= 2 \times 2 + 32  [ using equations (i) and (ii)]

=4+32 = 36 grams.

Mass of the product = Mass of 2 moles of H_2O

=2\times 18 [ using equations (iii)]

=36 grams

As the mass of reactants = mass of the product.

So, mass is conserved.

Hence, option (B) is correct.
