Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electrons transition between energy levels in an atom due to gain or loss of energy. An electron may gain energy and move from its ground state to one of the accessible excited states. The electron quickly returns to ground state, emitting the energy previously absorbed as a photon of light. The wavelength of light emitted is measured using powerful spectrometers.

Atoms can be excited thermally or by irradiation with light of appropriate frequency.

If you mixed three Dixie cups’ contents together containing 0.05L of 1.0M lemonade, 0.05L of 2.5M lemonade, and 0.05L of 0.5M le

viva [34]

Molarity of the resulting solution will be 1.33 M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to find the number of moles for each of the solution using the formula, moles = molarity × volume

For cup 1 = 1 M ×0.05 L = 0.05 moles

For cup 2 = 2.5 M × 0.05 L= 0.125 moles

For cup 3 = 0.5 M × 0.05 L = 0.025 moles

Total moles = 0.05 + 0.125 + 0.025 = 0.2 moles

We have to find the total volume as, 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 0.15 L
