We are given:

Wavelength of Green light (λ) = 531 nm OR 531 * 10⁻⁹ m

Speed of light (c) = 3* 10⁸ m/s

<u>Solving for the Frequency of the wave:</u>

We know the relation:

c = νλ

<em>(where ν is the frequency, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength)</em>

3*10⁸ = ν*(531*10⁻⁹)

ν = 3*10⁸ / 531*10⁻⁹ [dividing both sides by the wavelength]

ν = 3*10⁸*10⁹ / 531 [ since a⁻¹ = 1/a]

ν = 3*10¹⁷ / 531 [ since mᵃ * mᵇ = mᵃ⁺ᵇ]

ν = 10¹⁷ / 177

ν = 1000 * 10¹⁴ / 177 [we split the numerator to simplify]

ν = 5.65 * 10¹⁴

Hence, the frequency of Green light is 5.65 * 10¹⁴ Hz

Answer:

f = 5.6×10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of green light = 531 nm (531×10⁻⁹ m)

Frequency of green light = ?

Solution:

Formula;

Speed of wave = wavelength × frequency

Speed of wave = 3.00×10⁸ m/s

by putting vales,

3.00×10⁸ m/s = 531×10⁻⁹ m × f

f = 3.00×10⁸ m/s / 531×10⁻⁹ m

f = 0.0056×10¹⁷ s⁻¹

f = 5.6×10¹⁴ Hz (Hz = s⁻¹)

If 200.0 g of copper(II) sulfate react with an excess of zinc metal, what is the theoretical yield of copper? 1.253 g 50.72 g 79

Helen [10]

1)we need a balanced equation: CuSO₄ + Zn ---> ZnSO₄ + Cu

2) we need to convert the grams of CuSO₄ to moles using the molar mass.

molar mass CuSO₄= 63.5 + 32.0 + (4 x 16.0)= 160 g/mol

$200.0 g CuSO_4 ( \frac{1 mol}{160 grams} )= 1.25 mol CuSO_4$

3) convert moles of CuSO₄ to moles of Cu

$1.25 mol CuSO_4 ( \frac{1 mol Cu}{1 mol CuSO_4} )= 1.25 mol Cu$

4) convert moles of Cu to grams using it's molar mass.

molar mass Cu= 63.5 g/mol

$1.25 mol (\frac{63.5 grams}{1 mol} )= 79.4 grams Cu$

I did it step-by-step as the explanation but you can do all of this in one step.

$200.0 g CuSO_4 ( \frac{1 mol CuSO_4}{160 g} ) ( \frac{1 mol Cu}{1 mol CuSO_4} ) ( \frac{63.5 grams}{1 mol Cu} )= 79.4 grams Cu$

Question14 of 20If 5.15 g FeCl3 is dissolved in enough water to make exactly 150.0 mL of solution, what is the molar concentrati

Serhud [2]

Answer: 0.635 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n= Moles= $\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{5.15g}{162.4g/mol}=0.0317moles$

$V_s$ = volume of solution = 150 ml

$Molarity=\frac{0.0317\times 1000}{150ml}=0.2114M$

$FeCl_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3Cl^-$

as 1 mole of $FeCl_3$ gives 3 moles of $Cl^-$ ions

Thus molarity of $Cl^-$ = $3\times 0.2114=0.635M$

Molarity of $Cl^-$ = 0.635 M

An unknown compound melting at 131 - 133 C. It is thought to be one of the following compounds: trans-cinnamic acid (133-134); b

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

benzamide

Explanation:

Compound melting Point ,ºC Melting Pont Mixture, ºC

X 131 - 133

trans-cinnamic 133 - 134 110 - 120

acid

benzamide 128 - 130 130-132

malic acid 131 -133 114 -124

Benzoin 135 - 137 108 - 116

The compound X is benzamide since the melting point range is the one closest to this compound ( 130-132 ºC)

The reason there is not an exact match is not due due to the presence of impurities. The presence of impurities always lower the melting point ( it is a coligative property such as the melting point depresion of salt and water )

The reason for the deviation must be be some other factors such as preparation of the sample in the capillary, errors in reading the thermometer, rate of heating, etc.
