Answer:

A. Optical fibers transmit light signals in high-speed communications.  

Explanation:

You didn't include the image, but it probably showed light bouncing off the sides as in the diagram below.

It demonstrates how optical fibers transmit light signals in high-speed communications.

B is wrong. Satellites communicate by radio waves.

C is wrong. Solar cells convert light energy to  

D is wrong. Power plants transmit electrical energy to homes through copper wires.

The molar heat capacity of an unknown substance is 92.1 J/mol-K. If the unknown has a molar mass of 118 g/mol, what is the speci
dlinn [17]

Answer : The specific heat (J/g-K) of this substance is, 0.780 J/g.K

Explanation :

Molar heat capacity : It is defined as the amount of heat absorbed by one mole of a substance to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius.

1 mole of substance releases heat = 92.1 J/K

As we are given, molar mass of unknown substance is, 118 g/mol that means, the mass of 1 mole of substance is, 118 g.

As, 118 g of substance releases heat = 92.1 J/K

So, 1 g of substance releases heat = \frac{92.1}{118}=0.780J/g.K

Thus, the specific heat (J/g-K) of this substance is, 0.780 J/g.K

Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in the following: 2H+(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2Fe2+(aq) → 2Fe3+(aq) + 2H2O(l)
schepotkina [342]

Answer :  The oxidizing and reducing agents are, H_2O_2 and Fe^{2+}.

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The given redox reaction is:

2H^+(aq)+H_2O_2(aq)+2Fe^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}(aq)+2H_2O(l)

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+1e^-

Reduction reaction : O^-+1e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}

The oxidation state of oxygen in H_2O_2 and H_2O is, (-1) and (-2) respectively.

In this reaction, 'Fe' is oxidized from oxidation (+2) to (+3) and 'O' is reduced from oxidation state (-1) to (-2). Hence, 'Fe^{2+}' act as a reducing agent and 'H_2O_2' act as a oxidizing agent.

Thus, the oxidizing and reducing agents are, H_2O_2 and Fe^{2+}.

Which of these statements is not necessarily true for two objects in thermal equilibrium?
Dmitrij [34]

1. Answer: C. The objects' temperatures have both changed by the same amount.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in thermal equilibrium when the objects have attained same temperature. Heat transfer from hotter object to colder one in contact takes place until the temperature of the two are equal. It is not necessary that the temperature of both the objects changes by same amount. After attainment of thermal equilibrium, the temperature of the objects stop changing and the tiny particles of the object move at the same rate.

Hence, the objects' temperatures have both changed by the same amount. is not necessarily true for two objects in thermal equilibrium.

2. Answer: C. Objects are made of tiny particles, and their motion depends on the temperature.

Explanation:

Kinetic theory of heat states that the kinetic energy of constituent particles determine the temperature of the object. The statement that best explains this is Objects are made of tiny particles, and their motion depends on the temperature.

Use coulomb's law to calculate the ionization energy in kj/mol of an atom composed of a proton and an electron separated by 185.
Tems11 [23]
Coulomb's law mathematically is:
F = kQ₁Q₂/r²
we integrate this with respect to distance to obtain the expression for energy:
E = kQ₁Q₂/r; where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹; Q are the charges, r is the seperation
Charge on proton = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
E = (9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) / (185 x 10⁻¹²)
E = 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸ Joules per proton/electron pair
Number of pairs in one mole = 6.02 x 10²³
Energy = 6.02 x 10²³ x 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸
= 746.5 kJ
