Imagine that you are playing a game of Clue in which Mrs. White is killed in the conservatory. You have a device in each room to

help you find the murderer: a spectrometer that detects the entire visible spectrum to indicate who is in that room. For example, if someone wearing yellow is in a room, light at 580 nm is reflected. The suspects are Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock (blue), and Miss Scarlet. At the time of the murder, the spectrometer in the dining room recorded a reflection at 520 nm. The spectrometry in the lounge and study recorded reflections of lower frequencies, and the one in the library recorded a reflection of the second shortest wavelength of the five recorded.

Answer:

  • <u><em>Mr. Plum</em></u><em> killed Mrs. White.</em>

Explanation:

<u>1) Wavelengths for the different light colors (visible light) and related character:</u>

Color  Wavelength          related character

Violet  380–450 nm  ← Professr Plum

Blue  450–485 nm  ← Mrs. Peacock

Cyan  485–500 nm  

Green  500–565 nm  ← Mr. Green

Yellow  565–590 nm  ← Colonel Mustard

Orange  590–625 nm  

Red  625–740 nm  ← Miss Scarlet

<u>2) At the time of the murder, the spectrometers recorded:</u>

a) In the <em>dining room</em>: <em>520 nm</em>.

520 nm is in the range 500 - 565 nm, which is the range for green color, so <em>Mr. Green</em> was in the dining room and is no more a suspect.

b)<em> In the lounge and study: lower frequencie</em>s.

Since frequency and wavelength are inversely related, the wavelengths in the longe and study have to be of <em>yellow and red</em> colors, which are the only two with longer wavelengths from the option given.

Then, <em>Mustard and Scarlet</em> are not criminal.

c)<em> In the library: the second shortest wavelength of the five recorded. </em>

<em />

The second shortest wavelength, as per the table, is that of <em>blue </em>color. So, <em>Mrs. Peacock</em> is not the killer.

The only left option is violet, so Mr. Plum is the only who could be at the conservatory and he is the killer.

In class we derived the Gibbs energy of mixing for a binary mixture of perfect gases. We also discussed that the same result is
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Attached below

Explanation:

Free energy of mixing = ΔGmix = Gf - Gi

attached below is the required derivation of the

<u>a) Molar Gibbs energy of mixing</u>

ΔGmix = Gf - Gi

hence : ΔGmix = ∩RT ( X1 In X1 + X2 In X2 + X3 In X3 + ------- )

<u>b) molar excess Gibbs energy of mixing</u>

Ni = chemical potential of gas

fi = Fugacity

N°i = Chemical potential of gas when Fugacity = 1

ΔG = RT In ( a2 / a1 )

What causes a water strider to be able to walk on water?
Lena [83]

Answer:

By repelling water, the tiny water striders stand on the water's surface and the captured airs allows them to float and move easily.  so number 2. Surface Tension.

Explanation:

The attraction between water molecules creates tension and a very delicate membrane. Water striders walk on this membrane. ... The legs have tiny hairs that repel water and capture air.

Reil [10]

Answer:

Number of moles of photons required = 5.04 × 10⁴ moles

Explanation:

The energy of a photon can be calculated from Planck's equation E = hc/λ

Where h = 6.63 × 10-³⁴ Js and c, the velocity of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Energy of one mole of photons = N₀ × hc/λ

wavelength of photon, λ = 520 nm = 5.20 × 10-⁷ m

Energy of one mole of photons = 6.02 × 10²³ × 6.63 × 10−³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸/5.20 × 10-⁷

Energy of one mole of photons = 2.30 × 10⁵ J/mol

Energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance, E = mcΔT

Where m is mass of substance,  c is specific heat capacity,  ΔT is temperature difference

Mass ofnwternin the pool = volume × density

Volume of water = Volume of swimming pool

Volume of water = 16 × 34 × 6 ft³ = 3264 ft³

1 ft³ = 28316.8 cm³; 3264 ft³ = 28316.8 × 3264 = 92426035.2 cm³

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of water = 92426035.2 cm³ × 1 g/cm³ = 92426035.2g

ΔT = 80°C - 50°C = 30°C, c = 4.18 J/g/K

Energy required to raise 92426035.2 g water by 30° C = 92426035.2 × 4.18 × 30

Energy required = 1.16 × 10¹⁰ J

Hence, number of moles of photons required = 1.16 × 10¹⁰ J/2.30 × 10⁵ J/mol

Number of moles of photons required = 5.04 × 10⁴ moles
