What is an emission spectra and how would you view one?

Chemistry
1 answer:
alexandr1967 [171]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The emission spectrum is formed when the electrons of a particular atom absorb energy and are excited (in this case by heating), reaching higher energy levels.  

You can see it for example with an experiment where we light alcohol mixed with banana chips (it has potassium). The burning alcohol emits heat that makes potassium atoms excite and these in turn emit something red, orange light. If we add for example boric acid you see a green light.

Describe how you can figure out how many grams of a COMPOUND if you know how many moles there
____ [38]
Divide the mass of the compound in grams by the molar mass you just calculated. The answer is the number of moles of that mass of compound. For example, 25 grams of water equals 25/18.016 or 1.39 moles.

What determines an object’s ability to float?
Nezavi [6.7K]
Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.

For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.

Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.

If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.

The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.
