Accepted Answer

The enthalpy of the products and the reactants, using their stoichiometric coefficients.

Question 5

A photon has a frequency of $$6.0 	imes 10$$^{14}$$ Hz. What is its energy?

Accepted Answer

$$E = h 
u = (6.626 	imes 10$$^{-34}$$ 	ext{J} \cdot 	ext{s}) 	imes (6.0 	imes 10$$^{14}$$ 	ext{Hz}) = 3.98 	imes 10$$^{-19}$$ 	ext{J}$$
