All you can conclude is that something must be burning with an orange flame.
Actually, the "something" that must be burning is the hydrogen that is produced when the sodium reacts with the water:
2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂ + heat
So much heat is produced that the hydrogen catches fire and some of the sodium evaporates into the flame.
The electrons in the sodium atoms get "excited" in the flame. When they drop back to a lower energy level, they emit energy in the form of an orange-yellow light.
Answer:
I think they are all correct
Answer:
0.396 grams of lithium
Explanation:
Lithium-ion batteries have the main feature of using lithium salts as a "bridge" between the positive pole (anode) to the negative (cathode) to allow the passage of energy that will give life to our device. In the case of lithium polymer batteries, the difference is that the lithium salt is contained in a polymer, or gel, to keep it safe from spills.
In both cases, when the battery is discharging, lithium ions travel from the cathode to the anode through their "bridges" to supply the energy until all the ions are in the anode, it is at this time when the battery is out of stock The ions travel in the opposite direction during charging (from the anode to the cathode).
<u>The calculation used to determine the amount of lithium that the lithium cell batteries have is as follows</u>:
0.3 x amp hour capacity = g of lithium
where amp hour = Ah
<u>In our case</u>:
0.3 x 1.32 = 0.396 g of lithium
