What happens when light strikes a dark heavy object

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natasha_Volkova [10]3 years ago
8 0
The colour of a substance determines the way it reacts when light rays are incident on it. When light rays strike a dark object, the dark object will absorb all the wavelengths of the light and convert them to heat energy, thereby increasing its temperature. Lighter colors do not absorb all the wavelengths of light, they reflected some depending on the type of color.

When a 10 mL graduated cylinder is filled to the 10 mL mark, the mass of the water was measured to be 9.925 g. If the density of
Vlada [557]
Measured volume = 10 ml 
mass = 9.925 g 
density = 0.9975 g/ml
density = \frac{mass}{volume} 
so actual volume = \frac{mass}{density} = \frac{9.925}{0.9975} = 9.95 mL
Percentage Error = \frac{measured volume - Actual volume}{actual volume} x 100 
= \frac{10 - 9.95}{9.95} x 100 = 0.5 % error

When an alkane reacts with an element from group 7a, the reaction is referred to as?
Elena-2011 [213]
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon, that is they contain hydrogen and carbon without a double or triple bond between the carbon atoms, e.g. ethane, propane. Group 7a in the periodic table are called halogens e.g chlorine, bromine. Alkanes react with halogens in a reaction called substitution, where halogens replace hydrogen atoms in alkanes.

How many electrons does an element have if its atomic number is 20
olga55 [171]

Answer:

20 electrons

A neutral atom with atomic number 20 will have 20 electrons.

The atomic number is, by definiton, the number of protons in an atom's nucleus but for a neutral atom it's also equal to the number of electrons. Each element has a different, unique number of protons that determines its identity.

How many liters of a 0.30M solution are needed to give 2.7 moles of solute? Your answer:
OverLord2011 [107]
You HAVE TO know that molarity (M) tells you the number of moles of a solute per Liters of solution.
M=mol/L
0.3M = 2.7 mol/ Volume
Volume = 2.7 mol/3.0 L
Volume = 0.9 L
