Answer:

Chemical energy into Thermal energy and Light energy

Explanation:

In this problem, we have a match rubbed against a piece of sandpaper.

According to the law of conservation of energy, "energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed".

This means that in this situation, the energy produced when the match lits up must come from somewhere.

The initial form of energy in this case is Chemical energy. This form of energy is stored in the bonds between the molecules inside the match.

Then, when the match is rubbed against the sandpaper, these molecular bonds are broken, and the chemical energy is released. It transforms into two types of energy:

1) Thermal energy: this is the energy associated to the heat released by the match when it lits

2) Light energy: this is the energy associated with the light emitted by the match when it is turned on

Answer:

Wavelength of this beam of light: \rm 4.39\times 10^{-7}\; m.

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is approximately \rm 2.998\times 10^{8}\;m \cdot s^{-1}.

Light behaves like a wave. The wavelength of a wave is equal to the distance that it travels (in the given medium) in each period of oscillation.

On the other hand, the frequency of a wave is the number of periods in unit time. 1\rm \; Hz means one oscillation per second. The frequency of this particular wave is \rm 6.83\times 10^{14}\; Hz. In other words, there are 6.83\times 10^{14} oscillations in each second.

The period of oscillation will be equal to

\displaystyle t = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{\rm 6.83\times 10^{14}\; s^{-1}}.

In that period of time, a beam of light in vacuum would have traveled  

\displaystyle \rm 2.998\times 10^{8}\; m\cdot s^{-1} \times \frac{1}{\rm 6.83\times 10^{14}\; s^{-1}} = 4.39\times 10^{-7}\; m.

In other words, if this beam of light of frequency \rm 6.83\times 10^{14}\; Hz is in vacuum, its wavelength will be equal to \rm 4.39\times 10^{-7}\; m.

Consider the balanced equation below. 4NH3 + 3O2 --> 2N2 + 6H2O What is the mole ratio of NH3 to N2?
AURORKA [14]
The balanced equation given is:
4NH3 + 3O2 .....> 2N2 + 6H2O

From this equation, we can note that 4 moles of NH3 are required to produce 2 moles of N2.

Therefore, the mole ratio of NH3 to N2 is 4:2 which can be simplified into 2:1

Which of the following statements is true about energy quantization at the atomic level? Electrons in the outermost orbits are t
MAVERICK [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option C which is, "Electrons in the orbit closest to the nucleus have the least amount of energy".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • There are different orbitals around the nucleus on which the electrons moves around the nucleus.
  • These orbitals have a specific energy, due to which they are known as energy levels.
  • The energy level near to the nucleus has least amount of the energy and the energy of the orbitals increase as the distance of the orbitals increase to the nucleus.

For the reaction below, Kp 5 1.16 at 800.8C. CaCO3(s) 34 CaO(s) 1 CO2(g) If a 20.0-g sample of CaCO3 is put into a 10.0-L contai
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The mass percentage of calcium carbonated reacted is 2.5%.

Explanation:

The reaction is:

CaCO_{3}(s)--->CaO(s)+CO_{2}(g)

Thus the Kp of the equilibrium will be:

Kp = partial pressure of carbon dioxide [as the other are solid]

Moles of calcium carbonate initially present = \frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{20}{100}=0.2

Let us apply ICE table to the equilibrium given:

                        CaCO_{3}(s)--->CaO(s)+CO_{2}(g)

Initial                       0.2                       0          0

Change                 -x                            +x        +x

Equilibrium           0.2-x                         x          x

Kp = partial pressure of carbon dioxide

Kp = Kc(RT)ⁿ

where n = difference in the number of moles of gaseous products and reactants

for given reaction n = 1

R = gas constant = 8.314 J /mol K

T = temperature = 800 ⁰C = 1073 K

Putting values

Kc =\frac{Kp}{RT}=\frac{1.16}{8.314X1073}=1.3X10^{-4}

Kc = \frac{[CO_{2}][CaO]}{[CaCO_{3}]}= \frac{x^{2} }{(0.2-x)}=1.3X10^{-4}

1.3X10^{-4}(0.2-x)=x^{2}

x^{2} = 0.26X10^{-4}-1.3X10^{-4}x

On calculating

x =  0.005

where x = the moles of calcium carbonate dissociated or reacted.

Percentage of the moles or mass reacted = \frac{molesreacted X100}{initialmoles}=\frac{0.005X100}{0.2}=2.5%

Part a how many grams of xef6 are required to react with 0.579 l of hydrogen gas at 6.46 atm and 45°c in the reaction shown belo
Nina [5.8K]
First, let us find the corresponding amount of moles H₂ assuming ideal gas behavior.

PV = nRT
Solving for n,
n = PV/RT
n = (6.46 atm)(0.579 L)/(0.0821 L-atm/mol-K)(45 + 273 K)
n = 0.143 mol H₂

The stoichiometric calculations is as follows (MW for XeF₆ = 245.28 g/mol)
Mass XeF₆ = (0.143 mol H₂)(1 mol XeF₆/3 mol H₂)(245.28 g/mol) = <em>11.69 g</em>
