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.

Calculate the density of chloroform

Rina8888 [55]

Answer: The density of chloroform is 1.47 g/mL

Explanation : Given,

Volume = 40.5 mL

Mass of cylinder = 85.16 g

Mass of cylinder and liquid = 145.10 g

First we have to calculate the mass of liquid (chloroform).

Mass of liquid = Mass of cylinder and liquid - Mass of cylinder

Mass of liquid = 145.10 g - 85.6 g

Mass of liquid = 59.5 g

Now we have to calculate the density of liquid (chloroform).

Formula used:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Now putting g all the given values in this formula, we get:

$Density=\frac{59.5g}{40.5mL}$

$Density=1.47g/mL$

Therefore, the density of chloroform is 1.47 g/mL
