average wavelength

[Monica Soliman 3F]

I m not sure how to do this. Can someone explain?

Hey Monica!
So for that one you'd have to use DeBroglie's wavelength. (Wavelength=planck's constant/mass x velocity)
You're already given the velocity so now you'd just find the mass of a Chlorine atom. In this case, since they said it's a diatomic molecule so you'd multiple 2(the molar mass of chlorine) and then multiply that by the mass of a neutron. then plug that value in as your mass and solve the rest for wavelength

hope this helps!

Use deBroglie's wavelength equation where wavelength = h/p, and p is momentum. p=mv. The problem gives you the velocity of the particle so all you have to do is plug it into the equation.

Why do you multiply the molar mass of chlorine by the mass of a neutron?
