This Christmas candy favorite was originally created to keep kid's quiet during lunch services.

Candy Canes

Legend has it that candy canes were invented in 1670, when the choirmaster of the Cologne Cathedral commissioned candies shaped like a shepherd’s crook so they could be handed out to children attending the church’s crèche scene in order to keep them quiet. The stripes came later.

If metal struck with yellow light (wavelength = 500 nm) just begins to emit electrons but when struck with red light (wavelength = 700 nm) does not emit electrons will the metal emit electrons if struck with green light (wavelength = 450 nm)? 

What is: yes 


The electrons are bound to the metal nuclei with some amount of energy, meaning it requires that same amount of energy to 'kick' the electron out of the atom (emit). Yellow light had JUST enough energy to expel an electron.. green light is higher energy radiation and therefore would have sufficient energy to emit an electron.

This Christmas staple was intended to be preserved and eaten up to an entire year.

Fruitcake

If you’ve ever received a fruitcake as a gift, you probably know that those suckers can last for a long time without ever going bad, thanks to the preservative properties of the sugar and the booze they contain. Actually, that’s a part of the design: they were originally intended to be baked at the end of the harvest season and saved to be eaten at the beginning of the harvest season the following year, for good luck.

How much of the "reagent in excess" (not the limiting reagent) is leftover after the completion of the following reaction?

3 Ba2+ + 2 PO43- --> Ba3(PO4)2

If we start with 2 moles of Ba2+ and 2 moles of PO43-?

PO43- --> 2 moles * (1/2) = 1 mole of Ba3(PO4)2

Ba2+ --> 2 moles * (1/3) = 2/3 mole of Ba3(PO4)2

Ba2+ is the limiting reagent and PO43- is the excess reagent. 

2 moles of Ba2+ * (2 PO4/3 Ba) = 4/3 mole of PO43- **THAT IS REACTED**

2 moles INITIALLY - 4/3 mole REACTED = 2/3 mole remains unreacted

These traditional Hannukuh potato cakes are made of both ricotta cheese and and potatoes.

Latkes

For many, latkes are synonymous with Hanukkah, but in reality these potato pancakes descend from Italian pancakes made with ricotta cheese. It was a rabbi in Italy in the late thirteenth century who first made the connection between the pancakes and the holiday. The cheese pancakes became a quintessential Hanukkah dish because they combined dairy and fried foods

Why does fluorine have a smaller radius than oxygen?

Fluorine has more protons than oxygen which results in a greater force of attraction between the nucleus and electrons (Coulomb's Law). This, in turn, results in a smaller atomic radius.
