To be sure that the color is due to sodium, do a flame test. This is used to identify the presence of small number of metal ions in a compound. For sodium, the brilliant color of bright yellow is a result of an excited electron in a very high level of energy and fall to a lower level called the ground state. 

In addition, metals have different jump sizes in the energy level and this means that each different metal will have a different pattern of spectral lines, which results to different flame color.

You pour 250 g of tea into a Styrofoam cup, initially at 80∘C and stir in a little sugar using a 100-g aluminum 20∘C spoon and l
jok3333 [9.3K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy and heat transferred in a body.

By definition we know that the heat lost must be equal to the heat gained, ie

Q_g = Q_l

Where,

Q = Heat exchange

The heat exchange is defined as

Q = c_p m \Delta T

Where,

c_p = Specific heat

m = mass

\Delta T= Change in Temperature

Therefore replacing we have that

Q_g = Q_l

c_{p-tea} m \Delta T =  c_{p-al} m \Delta T

Replacing with our values we have that

0.25*4180*(80-T) = 0.1*900*(T-20)

11.61*(80-T) = T-20

T= \frac{948.8}{11.61}

T = 75.24\°C

Therefore the highest possible temperature of the spoon when you finally take it out of the cup is 75.24°C

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the decay of a substance at an initial N_0 concentration at manufacture:

N(t)=N_0\,e^{-k\,\,t}

where k is the decay rate (in our case 0.06/year), and t is the elapsed time in years. Therefore, after 2 years since manufacture we have:

N=N_0\,e^{-0.06\,\,(2)}\\N=N_0\,e^{-0.12}\\N/N_0=e^{-0.12}\\N/N_0=0.8869

This in percent form is 88.7 %. That is, the remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.

The earth travels around the sun once a year in an approximately circular orbit whose radius is 1.50x10^11 m. From this data det
seraphim [82]
(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
            C = 2πr
Substituting the known values, 
           C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
             C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m

Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s. 
          orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s

               orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s

Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.

(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.
