Answer:

Laser light however contains only one wavelength. This property makes lasers monochromatic, meaning of one color. Another property of lasers is that all the wavelengths are in phase, meaning they wave together. This property is called coherency. Laser light travels in the same direction, parallel to one another.

Glycerin (C3H8O3) is a nonvolatile liquid. What is the vapor pressure of a solution made by adding 154 g of glycerin to 316 mL o

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

Explanation:

According to given:

molecular mass of glycerin, $M_g=3\times 12+8+3\times 16=92\ g.mol^{-1}$

molecular mass of water, $M_w=2+16=18\ g.mol^{-1}$

∵Density of water is $0.992\ g.cm^{-3}= 0.992\ g.mL^{-1}$

∴mass of water in 316 mL, $m_w=316\times 0.992=313.5 g$

mass of glycerin, $m_g=154\ g$

pressure of mixture, $P_x=55.32\ torr= 55.32\ mm.Hg$

temperature of mixture, $T_x=40^{\circ}C$

Upon the formation of solution the vapour pressure will be reduced since we have one component of solution as non-volatile.

moles of water in the given quantity:

$n_w=\frac{m_w}{M_w}$

$n_w=\frac{313.5}{18}$

$n_w=17.42 moles$

moles of glycerin in the given quantity:

$n_g=\frac{m_g}{M_g}$

$n_g=\frac{154}{92}$

$n_g=1.674 moles$

Now the mole fraction of water:

$X_w=\frac{n_w}{n_w+n_g}$

$X_w=\frac{17.42}{17.42+1.674}$

$X_w=0.912$

Since glycerin is non-volatile in nature so the vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be due to water only.

$\therefore P_{sol}=X_w\times P_x$

$\therefore P_{sol}=0.912\times 55.32$

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

When two objects collide and stick together, what will happen to their speed, assuming momentum is conserved?

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

When two objects collide and stick together, what will happen to their speed, assuming momentum is conserved? They will move at the same velocity as whichever object was fastest initially. They will move at the same velocity of whichever object was slowest initially.
