Answer from: hgfughi

answer:

light energy (uv or visible radiation) can initiate or catalyse particular chemical reactions. the greater the intensity of light (visible or ultra-violet) the more reactant molecules are likely to gain the required energy (activation energy) and react, so the reaction speed increases - greater frequency of initiation.

Answer from: chambersjamal05

answer:

explanation:

light energy (uv or visible radiation) can initiate or catalyse particular chemical reactions.

as well as acting as an electromagnetic wave, light can be considered as an energy 'bullets' called photons and they have sufficient 'impact energy' to break chemical bonds, that is, enough energy to overcome the activation energy.

the greater the intensity of light (visible or ultra-violet) the more reactant molecules are likely to gain the required energy (activation energy) and react, so the reaction speed increases - greater frequency of initiation.

strictly speaking the light (visible or uv) is not a catalyst in the sense that the photons of energy are used up in the chemical changes they induce, the photons cannot be recycled!

examples:

silver salts are converted to silver in the chemistry of photographic exposure of the film.

silver chloride (agcl), silver bromide (agbr) and silver iodide (agi) are all sensitive to light ('photosensitive'), and all three are used in the production of various types of photographic film to detect visible light and beta and gamma radiation from radioactive materials.

each silver halide salt has a different sensitivity to light.

when radiation hits the film the silver ions in the salt are reduced by electron gain to silver.

Salicylic acid is a very important acid. it is used to synthesize the aspirin by treating with acetic anhydride. a 0.2015-g sample of salicylic acid was dissolved in a 100.00-ml volumetric flask, and the solution was diluted to the mark. a 10-ml aliquot of this solution was titrated with standard naoh (0.01130 + 0.2% n) to a phenolphthalein faint pink color end point at 19.81 ml. (a) (calculate the normality of the salicylic acid solution used in the titration. (b) assuming the salicylic acid is pure, what is the equivalent weight of the salicylic acid? practice problems for the final exam (continued) (c) (calculate the inherent error in the determination of the equivalent weight you calculated in part (b). use the following absolute errors in the equipment /glassware when calculating the inherent error. 5.00-ml pipet: + 0.02 ml 100-ml volumetric flask: + 0.08 ml analytical balance: + 0.2 mg 25-ml buret: + 0.03 ml
