Electrons are changing energy levels.
Marrrta [24]3 years ago

By using flame test we can identify the elements because colors which are given by elements with flame test are unique.

During the flame test, the electrons of the atom which are in ground state absorb energy and go to upper level. This is called electron excitation. Excited electrons are unstable. Hence, they come back to the ground state by emitting the energy as photons. If that released energy has a frequency which belongs to visual light, then that wave gives a color.

How many moles of ions are produced by ionization of 2 moles of MgCl2
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

number of ions = 12.04 x 10^²³

Explanation:

n = number of ions/Avogadro's constant

2 = number of ions/6.02 x 10^²³

number of ions= 2 x 6.02 x 10^²³

number of ions = 12.04 x 10^²³

Which separation techniques will you apply for the separation of the following? a) oil from water b) kerosene and petrol c) salt
REY [17]

Answer:

A) Separating funnel method

B) Simple Distillation

C) Evaporation

D) Sublimation

E) It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.

Explanation:

A)

B) Kerosene and petrol are both miscible liquids and the difference in their boiling point temperature is not more than 25°C. Thus, we make use of Simple distillation.

C) Can be separated by evaporation where the water is boiled and it evaporates and leaves the salt behind

D) To separate camphor from salt, we use sublimation so the camphor can change directly from solid to the gas state without passing through the liquid state.

E) Chromatography is used to separate components of a mixture.

It is based on the principle of separation whereby even though two substances are dissolved in the same solvent, their respective solubilities could be different. Thus, the component that has more solubility will rise fastest and will therefore get separated from the mixture.
