In class, we used a red laser pointer and a green laser pointer and observed what happened when shined on a pink object. We observed a color change when the green light shined on the pink, but no matter how bright the red light, we did not observe a color change. What was this demonstrating?

light's particle nature

You are in the chemistry lab preparing for a lab. This experiment requires 45.0 grams of a substance called ethylene glycol, a liquid whose density is 1.114 g/mL. You realize that all the electronic scales in the lab are broken. You have no way to obtain a scale of any sort. You do, however, have the other equipment that has been used in Ms. Long’s chemistry class so far this year. State what equipment you would use and discuss how you would use the equipment to obtain 45.0 grams of ethylene glycol.

40.4 mL of ethylene glycol using a graduated cylinder

Which of the following is a false statement about the photoelectric effect?

a. Electrons will not be ejected from a metal unless light of a certain energy or higher shines on it

b. When enough photons are absorbed by the metal, an electron will be ejected from the surface

c. A single photon can eject an electron if it has enough energy

d. A dim light can eject an electron from a metal as long as the light’s frequency is high enough

b. When enough photons are absorbed by the metal, an electron will be ejected from the surface

It takes 7.21 x 10-19 J of energy to remove an electron from an iron atom. Would light with a wavelength of 3.21 x 10-2 m be able to remove an electron from an iron atom? Explain. 

No, the maximum wavelength of light that can remove an electron is 2.76 x 10-7 m and this wavelength is longer, meaning the frequency and energy will not be great enough

A doctor is prescribing Drug X to a 72.7 kg patient. The doctor orders 5 milligrams per pound of patient weight of Drug X to be given per dosage. The supply of the drug is a solution, meaning the drug has been dissolved in water (not in pill or tablet form). The density of the solution is 0.9 g/mL. In other words, 1 mL of the solution contains 0.9 g of Drug X. 

How many mL of solution need to be given to the patient per dose? Report your answer using 3 significant figures.
