Is the erbium transparent, translucent or opaque?

Chemistry
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]3 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.

1. Why is carbon dioxide a gas at low temperatures at mars
wlad13 [49]

1. carbon dioxide is a gas at low temperatures at mars because in the oxidizing environment organic compounds are oxidized to form carbon dioxide.

2. The 1 electron in outermost shell of Na is shared with 7 electrons of outermost shell of chlorine giving neutral charge on compound.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal.

4. When metal and non metal exchange electrons to form a neutral or no charge compound it is said to have form ionic bonds.

Explanation:

1. Temperature at Mars is very low -80 Fahrenheit  (-60 degrees) because water is not present in the planet. Carbon dioxide is abundant in Mars. The atmosphere is oxidizing at Mars which oxidizes the organic compounds and forms carbon dioxide.

2. NaCl combines by sharing of electrons forming ionic bonding. Different atoms of the different element share electrons to form ionic bonds. Such bond is formed when electrons is transferred between the atoms. In the NaCl, Na has 1 electron (electropositive) in its outer shell and chlorine has 7 electrons (electronegative). Both share the electrons getting their octet complete and a neutral charge on the compound formed.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal when bond is formed. The ionic bonds is formed between metal and non metals when electron exchange takes place. The electrostatic force is the attraction between two opposite charges on the ion.

4. When a metal and non metal exchange electrons in which metal is electropositive and non metal is electronegative the bonds form is called ionic bond. The electron is transferred from metal to non metal and thus giving neutral charge on the compound i.e. the outer shell has its octet complete.

What is the mass of a sample of alcohol (specific heat = 2.4 J/gC), if it requires 4780 J of heat to raise the temperature by 5.
insens350 [35]

The mass of a sample of alcohol is found to be = m = 367 g

Hence, it is found out that by raising the temperature of the given product, the mass of alcohol would be 367 g.

Explanation:

The Energy of the sample given is q = 4780

We are required to find the mass of alcohol m = ?

Given that,

The specific heat given is represented by = c = 2.4 J/gC

The temperature given is ΔT = 5.43° C

The mass of sample of alcohol can be found as follows,

The formula is c = \frac{q}{mt}

We can drive value of m bu shifting m on the left hand side,

m = \frac{q}{ct}

mass of alcohol (m) = \frac{4780}{(2.4)( 5.43)}

m = 367 g

Therefore, The mass of the given sample of alcohol is

m = 367g

It requires 4780 J of heat to raise the temperature by 5.43 C in the process which yields a mass of 367 g of alcohol.

According to the following position vs. Time graph the bicyclist was
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

According to the following position vs. Time graph the bicyclist was : D

D. Not moving for the first two seconds, then begin moving at the constant speed.​

Explanation:

Speed = \frac{Distance}{time}

Along Y-axis = Distance in meters

Along X-axis = Time taken in second

  • For first 2 seconds the The object has not changed its position.There is Zero distance covered.So , Speed = 0
  • After 2 second,The Object changed the distance by equal amount in equal interval of time.(Uniform Speed).Hence at each point after 2 second, there is same value speed
