Chemistry
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The temperature associated with this radiation is 0.014K.

Explanation:

If we assume that the astronomical object behaves as a black body, the relation between its <em>wavelength</em> and <em>temperature</em> is given by Wien's displacement law.

\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}

where,

λmax is the wavelength at the peak of emission

b is Wien's displacement constant (2.89×10⁻³ m⋅K)

T is the absolute temperature

For a wavelength of 21 cm,

T=\frac{b}{\lambda _{max} } = \frac{2.89 \times 10^{-3} m.K  }{0.21m} =0.014K

When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, the atom:
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

A. absorbs light

Explanation:

For an electron to move from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy needs to be added to the atom.

In most cases this required energy will be light: The electron of the atom will absorb the energy of the light and move to a higher energy level.

When said electron comes back to the lower energy level, the atom will conversely give off light.

Calculate the pH of a solution created by placing 2.0 grams of yttrium hydroxide, Y(OH)3, in 2.0 L of H2O. Ksp for Y(OH)3 is 6.0
oee [108]

Answer:

pH = 8.314

Explanation:

  • Y(OH)3(s) ↔ Y+  +  3OH-

equil:   S               S         3S

∴ Ksp = [ Y+ ] * [ OH- ]³ = 6.0 E-24

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = ( S )*( 3S )³

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = 27S∧4

⇒ 2.22 E-25 = S∧4

⇒ ( 2.22 E-25 )∧(1/4) = S

⇒ S = 6.866 E-7 M

⇒ [ OH- ] = 3*S =2.06 E-6 M

⇒ pOH = - Log [ OH- ]

⇒ pOH = - Log ( 2.06 E-6 )

⇒ pOH = 5.686

∴ pH = 14 - pOH

⇒ pH = 8.314

aniked [119]

Answer:

Higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

Explanation:

When you open a perfume bottle at a corner of a room, after a while, its fragrance can be perceived across a distance at the other end of the room. This is because, molecules of the compound in the fragrance have moved from the area of higher concentration in the perfume bottle, across a concentration gradient to a region of lower concentration at the other end of the room. This is diffusion.
