Determining the composition of stars is one way that light emission has been used to determine the chemical composition of an ob

ject. Light emission is still used today by researchers. It is harnessed in instrumentation such as Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Provide an explanation of how this instrument works as if you are describing it to your non-science roommate. Also, provide at least two uses of such an instrument.

Answer:

Explanation:

These instrument works on the analysis of the emisson spectral of light received from the star in this way.

Think of a steel knife in your kitchen. Initially, it has this shiny silver colour that typifies it. When the knife is placed on a hot plate, it becomes hotter and begins to go red as the heating continues. If we stop the heating and pour cold water on it, the red dissapears and our knife is back to itself, although the silvery shine would be lost. This is simply how the atomic absorption spectroscopy works. When you see the hot knife you can say a couple of things about it. Different metals have their various melting point. We can compare the temperature at which our knife will melt with a standard melting point scale to know the type of metal it is made of.

In atomic absorption spectroscopy, an atom gains energy and it becomes excited. Every atom is known to have a peculair amount of absorbant energy that cause them to excite. The more the particles in the atom, the more the energy required. When we analyse the absorbent energy of the atom, it differs from other atoms and we truly identify such an atom even if we don't know it. Most times, the energy is given off as light.

You have to make 500 mL of a 1.50 M BaCl2. You have 2.0 M barium chloride solution available. Determine how to make the needed d
Inga [223]

Answer:

You need 375 mL of BaCl2 solution.

Explanation:

M1V1=M2V2

Dilution formula. Substitute known values and solve for V1.

M1 = 2.0 M

M2 = 1.50 M

V2 = 500 mL

(2.0 M)(V1) = (1.50 M)(500 mL)

V1 = (1.50 M)(500 mL) / (2.0 M)

V1 = 375 mL

Calculate the number of milliliters of 0.710 M Ba(OH)2 required to precipitate all of the Mn2+ ions in 161 mL of 0.796 M KMnO4 s
USPshnik [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of barium hydroxide is 183 mL.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles of cadmium nitrate, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}       .....(1)

Molarity of MnSO_4 = 0.796 M

Volume of MnSO_4 = 161 mL = 0.161 L   (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.796mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of }MnSO_4}{0.161L}\\\\\text{Moles of }MnSO_4=0.13mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of manganese sulfate and barium hydroxide follows:

MnSO_4(aq.)+Ba(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow Mn(OH)_2(s)+BaSO_4(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of manganese sulfate reacts with 1 mole of barium hydroxide.

So, 0.13 moles of manganese sulfate will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.13=0.13mol of barium hydroxide

Now, calculating the volume of barium hydroxide by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of barium hydroxide = 0.13 moles

Molarity of barium hydroxide = 0.710 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.710mol/L=\frac{0.13mol}{\text{Volume of barium hydroxide}}\\\\\text{Volume of barium hydroxide}=0.183L

Converting this into milliliters, we use the conversion factor:

1 L = 1000 mL

So, 0.183L=0.183\times 1000=183mL

Hence, the volume of barium hydroxide is 183 mL.
