According to Louis de Broglie, matter has an associated wavelength. He was the first scientist to establish the idea of wave-particle duality or wave- particle paradox.

The display of wavelike properties by objects in the universe is dependent on the magnitude of the of the mass of the body. Small objects have a large associated wavelength and can be described completely by quantum mechanics.

A buckyball with a mass of 1.2 x 10-21 g, 0.7 nm wide, moving at 38. m/s has a very small mass and significant associated wavelength hence the system can be completely described by quantum mechanics.

The cylinder of aluminum in class was approximately 13mm in circumference and 42mm in length. What would be it's approximate mas

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 1.51 grams

Explanation:

It is given that,

The circumference of Aluminium cylinder, C = 13 mm = 1.3 cm

Length of the cylinder, h = 4.2 cm

We know that the density of the Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³

Circumference, C = 2πr

$r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.3}{2\pi}\\\\r=0.206\ cm$

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

m is mass of the cylinder

V is the volume of the cylinder

$V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times0.206^2\times 4.2\\\\V=0.5601\ cm^3$

So,

$m=d\times V\\\\m=2.7\times 0.5601\\\\m=1.51\ g$

So, the mass of the cylinder is 1.51 grams.

Can someone please help me with the correct formula for this?

Anarel [89]

Answer:

C₂H₄O

CH₃CHO

Explanation:

I'm not sure if you want the molecular formula or the condensed structure, but I will give you both.

Molecular formula:

You have 2 carbons (C₂), 4 hydrogens (H₄), and 1 oxygen (O). The molecular formula will be C₂H₄O.

Condensed Structure:

You have a carbon bonded to three hydrogens (CH₃). This carbon is bonded to a carbon that is bonded to a hydrogen and oxygen (CHO). The condensed structure will be CH₃CHO.
