<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Litmus paper is defined as the paper which is used as an indicator. It helps us to find out whether the solution is acidic or basic in nature. There are 2 types of litmus paper:

  1. <u>Red litmus paper:</u> This paper turns blue, when it is dipped in basic solution and remains as such when it is dipped in acidic solution.
  2. <u>Blue litmus paper:</u> This paper turns red, when it is dipped in acidic solution and remains as such when it is dipped in basic solution.

As, the compound is turning litmus solution blue, thus, it will be a base and base is also found in soaps and detergents.

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.

How can understanding atomic light help astronomers determine what planets are composed of?
GuDViN [60]

The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. This process utilizes instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element has a unique fingerprint that allows researchers to determine what it is made of.

The fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy levels. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can push it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.  

Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine which elements are present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.

Calculate the food energy (joules/
Anna007 [38]

Calculate the food energy (joules/g) of one of your food samples. one chemistry calorie is equal to 4.186 joules. convert the energy you calculated to kilojoules (1 kj = 1000 j). since nothing is given, an example is avocadoes have 160 cal/100 g serving

(160 cal/ 100 g)(4.186 J/ 1 cal) (1 kJ/1000 J) = 0.0067 kJ/g

Someone plss help me!!!
NikAS [45]

Answer:

d. Cl2

sorry if I'm wrong

Cl2, as shown in the picture should have electrons in both the atoms but, in the question, the electrons are only in one of the atoms.

hope it helps :)

Consider the reaction 2NO(g) 1 O2(g) ¡ 2NO2(g) Suppose that at a particular moment during the reaction nitric oxide (NO) is reac
GalinKa [24]
<h2>a) The rate at which NO_2 is formed is 0.066 M/s</h2><h2>b) The rate at which molecular oxygen O_2 is reacting is 0.033 M/s</h2>

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate in terms of disappearance of NO = -\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt} = 0.066 M/s

Rate in terms of disappearance of O_2 = -\frac{1d[O_2]}{dt}

Rate in terms of appearance of NO_2= \frac{1d[NO_2]}{2dt}

1. The rate of formation of NO_2

-\frac{d[NO_2]}{2dt}=\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt}

\frac{1d[NO_2]}{dt}=\frac{2}{2}\times 0.066M/s=0.066M/s

2. The rate of disappearance of O_2

-\frac{1d[O_2]}{dt}=\frac{d[NO]}{2dt}

-\frac{1d[O_2]}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.066M/s=0.033M/s
