Calcium is a silvery-white metal; it is relatively soft, but much harder than sodium metal. Calcium is a member of the alkaline-earth metals (Group II on the periodic table); these metals react vigorously with water, although not as violently as the Group I metals such as sodium or potassium:
Ca(s) + 2H2O(l) ——> Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
Molar mass of Ag NO3
= [ atomic mass of Ag + atomic mass of N + 3 ( atomic mass of O ) ) ] u
Substituting the atomic masses of Ag , N & O as 107.9 , 14 & 16 ,respectively in the above expression we get -
=
=169.9 u
Max Planck theorized that energy was transferred in chunks known as quanta, equal to . The variable h is a constant equal to 6.63 × 10-34 J·s and the variable represents the frequency in 1/s.
This equation allows us to calculate the energy of photons, given their frequency.
If the wavelength is given, the energy can be determined by first using the wave equationto find the frequency, then using Planck’s equation to calculate energy.
