- Of the five elements Sn, Si, Sb, O, Te, which has the most endothermic reaction? (E represents an atom.) What name is given to the energy for the reaction? E(g)E+(g)+earrow_forward6.101 Laser welding is a technique in which a tightly focused laser beam is used to deposit enough energy to weld metal parts together. Because the entire process can be automated, it is commonly used in many large-scale industries, including the manufacture of automobiles. In order to achieve the desired weld quality, the steel parts being joined must absorb energy at a rate of about 104 W/mm2. (Recall that 1 W = 1 J/s.) A particular laser welding system employs a Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1.06m ; at this wavelength steel will absorb about 80% of the incident photons. If the laser beam is focused to illuminate a circular spot with a diameter of 0.02 inch, what is the minimum power (in watts) that the laser must emit to reach the 104 W/mm2 threshold? How many photons per second does this correspond to? (For simplicity, assume that the energy from the laser does not penetrate into the metal to any significant depth.)arrow_forwardConsider burning ethane gas, C2H6 in oxygen (combustion) forming CO2 and water. (a) How much energy (in J) is produced in the combustion of one molecule of ethane? (b) What is the energy of a photon of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 12.6 nm? (c) Compare your answers for (a) and (b).arrow_forward

The mass of an electron is 9.11 × 10-28 g.arrow_forward
- In the reaction of Lithium and Fluorine, each Li atoms takes 1 electron from an F atom to form 1 mol of gaseous Li+F- ion pair. Due to their opposite charges, they attract each other with a net force of 6.735 x 10-12N. Calculate the amount of energy when one mole of Li+F- ion pairs is formed from the separated ions, given that n=7. The observed inter-nuclear distance in the gas phase between ions is 156 pm. (Use ε0= 8.85 x 1012 C2/N-m2). Do not round off your answers from the start of the solution until the final answer.arrow_forwardA certain microwave oven delivers 750. watts (J/s) of power to a coffee cup containing 100.0 g water at 22.0°C. If the wavelength of microwaves in the oven is 9.75 cm, how long does it take, and how many photons must be absorbed, to make the water boil? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C*g, and assume only the water absorbs the energy of the microwaves. The speed of light is 3.0*108 and the Planck‘s constant is 6,63 * 10-34 J/s.arrow_forwardIn a typical fireworks device, the heat of the reaction betweena strong oxidizing agent, such as KClO₄, and an organic com-pound excites certain salts, which emit specific colors. Stron-tium salts have an intense emission at 641 nm, and barium saltshave one at 493 nm. (a) What colors do these emissions pro-duce? (b) What is the energy (in kJ) of these emissions for 5.00 g each of the chloride salts of Sr and Ba? (Assume that allthe heat released is converted to light emitted.)arrow_forward

If the power of the microwave is 9.00 102 W (1 Watt = 1 Joule/second), how long would you have to heat the coffee?arrow_forwardThe net change during photosynthesis involves CO2 and H2O forming glucose (C6H12O6) and O2.
