Why do electrons transition between energy levels within the atom, and how do we detect these transitions?

Chemistry

Sedaia [141]3 years ago
7 0

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.

One liter of a buffer composed of 1.2 m hno2 and 0.8 m nano2 is mixed with 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is the new ph? assume the
enyata [817]
Answer is: 3,4
Chemical reaction: HNO₂ + NaOH → NaNO₂ + H₂O.
c₀(HNO₂) = 1,2 M = 1,2 mol/dm³.
c₀(NaNO₂) = 0,8 M = 0,8 mol/dm³.
V₀(HNO₂) = V₀(NaNO₂)  = 1 dm³ = 1 L.
c₀(NaOH) = 0,5 M = 0,5 mol/dm³.
n₀(HNO₂)= 1,2 mol/dm³ · 1 dm³ = 1,2 mol.
n₀(NaNO₂) = 0,8 mol/dm³ · 1 dm³ = 0,8 mol.
V(NaOH) = 400 mL · 0,001 dm³/mL = 0,4 dm³.
n₀(NaOH) = c₀(NaOH) · V₀(NaOH).
n₀(NaOH) = 0,5 mol/dm³ · 0,4 dm³ = 0,2 mol.
n(HNO₂) = 1,2 mol - 0,2 mol = 1 mol.
n(NaNO₂) = 0,8 mol + 0,2 mol = 1 mol.
c(HNO₂) = 1 mol ÷ 1,4 dm³ = 0,714 mol/dm³.
c(NaNO₂) = 1 mol ÷ 1,4 dm³ = 0,714 mol/dm³.
pH = pKa + log (c(HNO₂) / c(NaNO₂)).
pH = 3,4 + log (0,714 mol/dm³ / 0,714 mol/dm³) = 3,4.

Answer:

Explanation:

All the stars we see in the night sky are in our own Milky Way Galaxy. Our galaxy is called the Milky Way because it appears as a milky band of light in the sky when you see it in a really dark area.

What is the state of the mantle
damaskus [11]
The mantle is mostly rich in iron and magnesium oxides and silicates. The mantle is usually divided into the Upper and Lower mantle separated by a transition zone that is smaller than the one that exists between the Inner and Outer core.

Some key things to remember when discussing states of Earth's structure are:
1. Temperatures are highest at depth and increase as you go towards the surface
2. Materials are thicker at depth, with high viscosity, due to increased pressure

Therefore, rocks in the lower mantle are at a high enough temperature that they become soft and are able to flow slowly.
