The lights used by mark watley (played by matt damon) during the film the martian seem to be metal halide lamps. metal halide lamps are filled with vaporized mercury and metal-halogen compounds. when an electric current is passed through the lamp, the tube begins to glow a bright white/blue color. if you were to pass this light through a prism to separate the individual light frequencies, you would see a rainbow just as you would if using natural sunlight because of the complexity of the metal halide gas and the vast amount of possible electron transitions. (the study of light in this way is known as spectroscopy and allows astronomers to know exactly what atoms compose distant stars, simply by looking at the light they emit. the spectral lines an atom produces uniquely identifies that atom just like a fingerprint uniquely identifies a person. the momentum equation and energy equation that we have used above can be combined to give the following equation: c = e p where again p is the phonon momentum, e is the photon energy and c is the speed of light. when you divide the photon energy found in #6 by the photon momentum found in #4, do you get the speed of light? (if not, check your work for questions #4 through #6). yes no

The percent efficiency of a machine can never be 100% (or greater), because in the real world some energy is always converted into a. heat b. work c. input force d. output force

1. how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 40.0 g of argon from 25c to 40c? the specific heat capacity of argon is 0.520 j/(g·k) 2a. 23.0 ml of 0.100 m hcl (standard) are added from a buret to neutralize 50.0 ml of an unknown basic solution. 2b. if the oh- produced in the previous reaction came from ca(oh)2, then what is the molarity of the ca(oh)2? 3.calculate the new freezing-point of a solution when 60.5 grams of cacl2 solute is dissolved in 0.612 kg of water. 4. what is the maximum number of moles of alcl3 that can be produced from 5.0 mol al and 6.0 mol cl2? 5. a sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 150 ml when its pressure is 0.923 atm. if the pressure is increased to 0.987 atm and the temperature remains constant, what will the new volume be? 6. nitrogen gas in a closed container at a temperature of 100.0 oc and 3.0 atm is heated to 300 oc. what is the pressure of the gas at the higher temperature?
