Why does an apple look red to us?

1 answer:

3 0

The apple is red because it reflects red light but absorbs other colours. If I shine white light from a torch onto the apple only the red light is reflected and enters my eye, so I see the apple as red. Suppose I shine pure blue light (wavelength about 450nm) onto the apple, what will I see. Well the apple will absorb the blue light so no light enters my eye, and the apple looks black

Consider the decomposition of the compound C5H6O3 as follows: C5H6O3(g)  C2H6(g) + 3CO(g) A 5.63 g sample of pure C5H6O3(g) was

Answer:

$K_{eq}=1.02x10^{-4}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the first step is to compute the initial moles of C₅H₆O₃ as shown below:

$5.63gC_5H_5O_3*\frac{1molC_5H_5O_3}{114gC_5H_5O_3}=0.0494molC_5H_5O_3$

After that, by knowing that the final pressure is 1.63 atm, one computes the total moles at the equilibrium as follows:

$n_{total}^{eq}=\frac{P_{total}^{eq}V}{RT}=\frac{1.63atm*2.50L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*473.15K} =0.105mol$

Then, by knowing the moles at the equilibrium considering the change " $x$ ", which yields to:

$\ \ \ \ \ C_5H_6O_3(g) \leftrightarrow C_2H_6(g) + 3CO(g)\\I\ \ \ \ \ 0.0494mol\ \ \ \ \ \ 0mol \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0mol\\C\ \ \ \ \ \ -x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3x\\E\ \ 0.0494mol-x\ \ \ \ x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3x$
