Ethylene (C₂H4) absorbs UV light of 171 nm. This absorption can cause ethylene to polymerize, turn from a liquid to polyethylene (the stuff plastic bags are made of). If you put 1,772 kJ into a 171 nm laser, at most, how many grams of plastic (polyethylene) could you make? (your answer is assumed to be in grams)

Your calibrated soup container has served you pretty well over the last several weeks, so you have decided to use it to heat up your soup for lunch using the microwave oven located just outside your lab. The oven warms food by delivering electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 2.45 GHz at a rate of 7.39 x 10^26 photons per second. Your soup has a mass of 524 grams and your calibrated container has a heat capacity of 69.9 J °C-1. If the initial temperature of your soup is 25 °C, what will be its temperature if you allow it to heat in the microwave for 1.5 minutes? [Assume that the specific heat capacity of your soup is 4.18 J g-1 °C-1.]
