Is the erbium transparent, translucent or opaque?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]4 years ago
7 0

Objects that allow all of the light to pass through them is said to be transparent. One can clearly see through the transparent objects.  Objects that allow only some light to pass through them is said to be translucent. One can partially see through the translucent objects whereas  objects that do not allow any light to pass through them is said to be opaque. One cannot see through the opaque objects at all.

Erbium is a chemical element with atomic symbol, Er which belongs to the period 6 with atomic number 68. It is a lanthanide, which is silvery-white solid metal in nature. The metals are opaque to visible lights.

Hence, erbium is opaque.

Determine the density of honey. *
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>1.51 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 162 g

volume = 107 mL

The density is

density =  \frac{162}{107}  \\  = 1.514018691...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.51 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Select the correct answer. A student places a sample of white sodium bicarbonate powder in a test tube and heats it. The student
inessss [21]

Answer is: D. It is not sodium bicarbonate.

Balanced chemical reaction of heating sodium bicarbonate:                    2NaHCO₃ → Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O.

This is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substances are formed (sodium carbonate, carbon(IV) oxide and water), the atoms are rearranged, so there is no sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) in the test tube.

Why does the dilution equation, M 1 V 1 = M 2 V 2, work?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

d) The dilution equation works because the number of moles remains the same.

Explanation:

Let’s say that you have 1 mol of a solute in I L of solution. The concentration is 1 mol·L⁻¹. and <em>M</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ = 1 mol.

Now, you dilute the solution to a volume of 2 L. You still have 1 mol of solute, but in 2 L of solution. The new concentration is 0.5 mol·L⁻¹.

The volume has doubled, but the volume has halved, and <em>M</em>₂<em>V</em>₂ = 1 mol.

b) <em>Wrong</em>. The molar concentration changes on dilution.

c) <em>Wrong</em>. The volume changes on dilution.

a) <em>Wrong</em>, although technically correct, because if the moles don’t change, the mass doesn’t change either. However, the formula <em>M</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ has units mol·L⁻¹ × L = mol. Thus, in the formula, it is moles that are constant.
