A watt is a unit of power or energy per unit time (1 W = 1 J/s). A semiconductor laser in a CD player has an output wavelength o

f 780 nm and a power level of 0.120 mW. How many photons strike the CD surface during the playing of a CD 78 minutes in length?

Answer:

n = 2.208x10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon( an elementary particle) is given by the equation:

E = nxhxf

Where n is the number of photons, h is plank constant (6,62x10⁻³⁴ J.s), and f is the frequency. Knowing that the power level is 0.120mW (1.2x10⁻⁴ W), the energy in J, for a time of 78 min (4680 s)

E = 1.2x10⁻⁴x4680 = 0.5616 J

The frequency of a photon is its velocity ( c= 3x10⁸ m/s) divided by its wavelength, which is 780 nm = 780x10⁻⁹ m

f = 3x10⁸/780x10⁻⁹

f = 3.846x10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Then, the number of photons is:

0.5616 = nx6,62x10⁻³⁴x3.846x10¹⁴

n = 2.208x10¹⁸ photons.

A 10.5 mL sample of vinegar, containing acetic acid, was titrated using 0.460 M NaOH solution. The titration required 19.13 mL o
laila [671]

Explanation:

Step 1:

A good first step for a problem like this is to write down the chemical formula and balance it.

It appears here that we have 10.5 mL of vinegar, which IS acetic acid, and 19.13 mL of 0.460 M NaOH. That will give us the following balanced chemical equation:

CH3COOH + NaOH ------> NaCH3COO + H2O

All of the constituents come out to a value of 1, conveniently.

Step 2:

Since all of our stoichiometric coefficients are one, we can use a shortcut to answer this equation. I don't know if it has a name, but I just call it the titration formula. It goes something like this:

M1 * V1 = M2 * V2

M stands for Molarity and V stands for volume. 1 and 2 being the before the reaction and after the reaction.

So, our M1 for this is going to be what the question says was used for this titration. That's 0.460M NaOH.

Our V1 is going to be the initial volume of the sample, which was 10.5 mL

Our V2 is going to be 19.13, which is the volume when we're finished.

It's clear that we don't know M2, so let's find it.

Keep in mind that it's easier to convert to liters pretty much always, so I've done that by dividing the mL values each by 1000.

Using some algebra, we can see that we now have:

0.460 M * 0.0105 L = x M * 0.01913 L

Which goes to:

\frac{0.00483mol}{0.01913L} = 0.252 M

<h3>So our M2, the molar concentration of acetic acid in this vinegar, is equal to 0.252 M. </h3>

How is copper sulphate different to copper sulphide in terms of the elments it contains
son4ous [18]

Answer:

An Element is a substance made up of only one type of atom as like gold, copper, oxygen, etc.

Copper sulphate with molecular formula (CuSO_4), the elements are copper, sulphur and oxygen. It is formed by combination of Cu^{2+} cation and SO_4^{2-} anion.

Copper sulphide with molecular formula (CuS), the elements are copper and sulphur. It is formed by combination of Cu^{2+} cation and S^{2-} anion.
