Answer: A

Explanation:

Considering the order of filling electrons into orbitals, movement from a higher to a lower energy level results in the emission of a photon with energy equal to the energy difference between the two energy levels. However, the energies of different orbitals are close together for high values of n (principal quantum number). Their relative energies may change significantly when they form ions. This implies that energy levels are better separated and have high differences in energy for low values of n. Hence the answer. This means that photons transiting between these Lowe n levels will posses higher photon energy due to larger energy difference between levels.

ZanzabumX [31]

If Liquid 1 has a higher specific heat than Liquid 2, then Liquid 1 will take longer to increase in temperature because the higher specific heat of a liquid needs more thermal energy for heating a liquid.

<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>

Specific heat of a substance refers to the quantity of heat that is required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree so we can conclude that Liquid 1 will take longer to increase in temperature

If you needed to make 100 mL of a 0.2 M fruit drink solution from the 1.0 M fruit drink solution, how would you do it? (Hint: Us

grigory [225]

Answer:

We take 20.0 mL of the 1.0 M fruit drink solution and then add 80.0 mL of water to make 100 mL of a 0.2 M fruit drink solution.

Explanation:

Using the rule that: the no. of millimoles of a solution before dilution is equal to the no. of millimoles of the solution after the dilution.

<em>(MV) before dilution = (MV) after dilution.</em>

M before dilution = 1.0 M, V before dilution = ??? mL.

M after dilution = 0.2 M, V after dilution = 100 mL.

<em>∴ V before dilution = (MV) after dilution / M before dilution </em>= (0.2 M)(100 mL) / (1.0 M) = <em>20.0 mL.</em>

<em>So, we take 20.0 mL of the 1.0 M fruit drink solution and then add 80.0 mL of water to make 100 mL of a 0.2 M fruit drink solution.</em>

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41; how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are found within th

djverab [1.8K]

•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

dusya [7]

Answer: The final pressure will decrease ad the value is 85 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$
