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.

The equation for the photosynthesis reaction in which carbon dioxide and water react to form glucose is . The hear reaction is the difference between the bond dissociation energies in the products and the bond dissociation energies of the reactants

 

The reactant molecules have 12 C = O, 12 H - O bonds while the product molecules have 5 C - C, 7 C – O, 5 H – O, and 6 O = O bonds. The average bond dissociation energies for the bonds involved in the reaction are 191 for C = O, 112 for H – O, 83 C –C, 99 C – H, 86 C – O, 119 O = O.

 

Substitute the average bond dissociation energies in the equation for and calculate as follows

= [12 (C=O) + 12 (H-O)] – [5(C-C) + 7(C-H) + 7 (C-O) + 5(H-O) + 6(O=O)]

= [12x191 kcal/mol + 12x112 kcal//mol] – [5x83 kcal/mol + 7x99 kcal/mol + 7x86 kcal/mol + 5x112 kcal/mol + 6x119 kcal/mol]

= 3636 kcal/mol – 2984 kcal/mol = 652 kcal/mol x 4.184 Kj/1kcal = 2.73x10^3 kJ/mol

 

So, enthalpy change for the reaction is 652 kcal/mol or 2.73x10^3 kJ/mol

Catalytic converters made of palladium (Pd) reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between unburned hydrocarbons
Setler79 [48]
Almost all catalysts work by lowering the activation energy of the reaction with no change in the free energy of the reaction 

- So in this case we can say that palladium  reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between un-burned hydrocarbons and oxygen :

D. by decreasing the activation energy
