do you mean polymers or organic compounds?
Global warming, Cosmic Background radiation (even though most is blocked not ALL), and pollution.
To calculate how many photons are in a certain amount of energy (joules) we need to know how much energy is in one photon.
Start by using two equations:
Energy of a photon = Frequency * Planck's constant (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s)
Speed of light (constant 3 * 10^8 m/s) = Frequency * Wavelength
Which means:
frequency = Speed of Light / Wavelength
So energy of a photon = (Speed of light * Planck's constant)/(Wavelength)
You may have seen this equation as E = hc/<span>λ</span>
We have a wavelength of 691 nm or 691 * 10^-9 meters
So we can plug in all of our knowns:
E = (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s) * (3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / (691 * 10^-9 m) =
2.88 * 10^(-19) joules per photon
Now we have joules per photon, and the total number of joules (0.862 joules)
,so divide joules by joules per photon, and we have the number of photons:
0.862 J/ (2.88 * 10^(-19) J/photon) = 3.00 * 10^18 photons.
Answer:
a) 
b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).
Explanation:
a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:


The energy balance:
![\delta U=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdelta%20U%3D%5Btex%5D%5Cdelta%20Q-%20%5Cdelta%20W)
If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:
![0=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0%3D%5Btex%5D%5Cdelta%20Q-%20%5Cdelta%20W)


The work:

If it is an ideal gas:


Solving:

Replacing:


Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:

b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.
I'd say he ways about 35 kilograms, but I'm probably wrong, xD
