Certain sunglasses have small crystals of silver chloride (AgC1) incorporated in the lenses. When the lenses are exposed to light of the appropriate wavelength the following reaction occurs: AgCl(s) - Ag(s) + Cl (g) kJ ΔΗ= 248 mol The Ag atoms formed produce a uniform gray color that reduces the glare. Note: Reference the Fundamental constants and SI prefixes table for additional information. Part: 0 / 2 Part 1 of 2 Calculate the threshold wavelength (λ) of light that can induce this process. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. nm ☐ x10 ☑ ك

A rebreathing gas mask contains potassium superoxide, KO2, which reacts with moisture in the breath to give oxygen. 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) Estimate the grams of potassium superoxide required to supply a persons oxygen needs for one hour. Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required. The ff0 for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.
Consider the following reaction: N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) Calculate G for this reaction under the following conditions (assume an uncertainty of 1 in all quantities): a. T=298K,PN2=PH2=200atm,PNH3=50atm b. T=298K,PN2=200atm,PH2=600atm,PNH3=200atm
Silicon forms a series of compounds analogous to the al-kanes and having the general formula SinH2n+2. The first of these compounds is silane, SiH4, which is used in the electronics industry to produce thin ultrapure silicon films. SiH4(g) is somewhat difficult to work with because it is py-ropboric at room temperature—meaning that it bursts into flame spontaneously when exposed to air. (a) Write an equation for the combustion of SiH4(g). (The reaction is analogous to hydrocarbon combustion, and SiO2 is a solid under standard conditions. Assume the water produced will be a gas.) (b) Use the data from Appendix E to calculate ? for this reaction. (c) Calculate G and show that the reaction is spontaneous at 25°C. (d) Compare G for this reaction to the combustion of methane. (See the previous problem.) Are the reactions in these two exercises enthalpy or entropy driven? Explain.
