A buckyball consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged in the form of a hollow ball. Say that we illuminate a free, initially non-rotating buckyball with visible light with the intensity of sunlight (1000 W / m2) whose photons all have their spins aligned with their direction of motion. About how long after the illumination begins will the buckyball (on the average) be spinning a million times per second, assuming it absorbs all the light falling on it? (Hints: look in a periodic table to see the mass of a mole of carbon atoms, and remember that Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 1023. Estimate the average wavelength of visible light. You should find that you don't need to know the buckyball's radius.)
Your answer is partially correct. A laser emits light at wavelength A = 598 nm in a beam of diameter 3.7 mm and at an energy-emission rate of 5.5 mW. A detector in the beam's path absorbs the beam. At what rate per unit area does the detector absorb photons? Number 1.429048888 Units photons/s-m^2
Question 6. a) Photons of incoming radiation have an energy of E = 2500 kJ/mol. Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of those photons. b) Would photons from part (a) be able to ionize a Be3+ ion if the electron is found in n=3? Show a calculation to support your answer. c). Consider the following balanced combustion reaction: C7H16(1) + 11 O2(g) → 7 CO2(e) + 8 H2O(g) AcH°= -1160 kJ/mol If the density of C7H16(1) is 0.68 g/mL, how much heat (in J and scientific notation) is released if 125 mL of C7H16()) undergoes complete combustion?
