The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. This process utilizes instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element has a unique fingerprint that allows researchers to determine what it is made of.
The fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy levels. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can push it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.
Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine which elements are present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.
From the equation above the reacting ratio of KClO3 to O2 is 2:3 therefore the number of moles of oxygen produced is ( 4 x3)/2 = 6 moles since four moles of KClO3 was consumed
mass=relative formula mass x number of moles
That is 32g/mol x 6 moles =192grams
Answer:
3.80x1024 grams containing if not that then above 80 grams 6 grams
Explanation:
Electrons can be transformed from on object to another , (can you mark me brainlyest)
Answer:
The Lewis structures are shown in the figure
Explanation:
The lewis structure will be drawn using following steps
i) we will calculate the total number of valence electrons in the molecule
ii) will assign one bond (two electrons in between two atoms)
iii) then distribute the rest of the valence electrons as lone pair or shared pair based on completion of octet.
The structure of each molecule is given in the figure.
Valence electrons:
V.E = 5 +(2)6-1=16
V.E =5 +(2)6+7=24
