When dentists take X-rays of your jaw, they give you a protective lead shield to protect you from excess radiation.  How much more energy is there per photon from an X-ray (λ = 71.2 pm) than from UV radiation               (λ = 250 nm)? 

Energy for xray photon = 3e-15 J

Energy for UV photon = 7.96e-19 J

The difference is = 3e-15 J

A student wonders whether a piece of jewelry is made of pure silver.  She determines that its mass is 3.17 g.  Then she drops it into a 10 mL graduated cylinder partially filled with water, and determines that its volume is 0.3 mL.  Could the jewelry be made of pure silver density of silver = 10.49 g/cm3

yes because the density of the object is 10.57g/cm3 that is very close to silver = 10.49 g/cm3

omn A yellow dye solution is spectroscopically investigated starting with a stock solution with a concentration of 35uM.

a. If the stock solution has an absorbance of 0.742 at a wavelength of 430nm, what is the molar absorptivity at this wavelength? (include proper units in your answer and assume the path length is 1 cm)

b. If the stock solution is diluted by a factor of 10, what is the absorbance of this new solution at the same wavelength of 430nm? Do you need molar absorptivity to calculate this? Why or why not?

a. 21200 M-1cm-1

b. 0.0742 and no

A nitrogen gas laser pulse with a wavelength of 337 nm contains 3.83 mJ of energy.  How many photons does this laser pulse contain? 

3.83 mJ = 0.00383J


Energy per photon = 5.9e-19 J/photon


0.00383 J x 1photon/5.9e-19J = 6.49e15 photons

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions hit
an historic high in 2017 of 32.5 gigatons (1 giga = 109).  Express this mass of CO2 in moles, first with
exponential notation and then without exponential notation using an appropriate metric prefix (which
you’ll need to look up).

When cleaning a laboratory, you find a bottle with a label reading “Yellow dye, ϵ at lambda max = 1.07x104 (cm-1⋅M-1)”. When 7.6 mg is dissolved in 319 mL, an absorbance at lambda max of 0.779 was found. What is the molecular weight of the mystery dye? To answer this question you just need to think about the meaning of the molar mass of the molecules of yellow dye, that is the mass of 1 mole of yellow dye molecules.
