What happens to an electromagnetic wave as it passes from space to matter

Chemistry
1 answer:
Angelina_Jolie [31]3 years ago
8 0
<span>When an electromagnetic wave passes from space to matter, some part of the energy is absorbed by the matter and it increases its energy. The wave may reflect and some part may pass through the matter depending on the amount of energy they have. The amplitude of the wave decreases if some parts of it are reflected. </span>

Water is dissolved into n-butanol (a polar liquid). Which is the second step at the molecular level as water dissolves into n-bu
serg [7]

Answer:

Formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between water molecules and molecules of n-butanol

Explanation:

Low molecular weight alcohols are miscible with water in all proportions. The reason for this is that, when a low molecular weight alcohol is dissolved in water, intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between the low molecular weight alcohol and water molecules.

Low molecular weight alcohols such as n-butanol contain the polar -OH group which interacts with water via hydrogen bonding.

For each of the following reactions, identify the missing reactant(s) or products(s) and then balance the resulting equation. No
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

A. The reactants are= Li and O2

The balanced equation is:

4Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

B. The products are: MgCl2 and O2

The balanced equation is:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + 3O2

C. The products are: Ca(NO3)2 and H2O

The balanced equation is:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 +

2H2O

D. The products are: CO2 and H2O

The balanced equation is:

C5H12 + 8O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

A. ____ —> Li2O

The reactants are Li and O2. Thus the equation is given below:

Li + O2 —> Li2O

Thus the equation is balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Li2O as shown below:

Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

Now, we have 4 atoms of Li on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of Li as shown below:

4Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

Now the equation is balanced

B. Mg(ClO3)2 —> __

The products are MgCl2 and O2

The equation is given below:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + O2

The equation can be balance as follow:

There are 6 atoms of O on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + 3O2

Now the equation is balanced

C. HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —>___

The products are: Ca(NO3)2 and H2O

The equation is given below:

HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The equation is balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of NO3 on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HNO3 as shown below:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

There are a total of 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H2O as shown below:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Now the equation is balanced

D. C5H12 + O2 —>__

The products are: CO2 and H2O

The equation is given below:

C5H12 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

The equation can be balance as follow:

There are 5 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C5H12 + O2 —> 5CO2 + H2O

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 6 in front of H2O as shown below:

C5H12 + O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now, there are a total of 16 atoms of O on the right side and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balance by putting 8 in front of O2 as shown below:

C5H12 + 8O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now we can see that the equation is balanced.

The half-life of a strontium isotope is 25 years. How much of this particular isotope will remain after 100 years if the startin
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

1 gram

Explanation:

Half life = 25 years

Starting mass = 16 grams

Time = 100 years

Number of half lives = Time / Duration of Half life = 100 / 25 = 4

After first Half life;

Remaining mass = 16 / 2 =  8 g

After Second Half life;

Remaining mass = 8 / 2 =  4 g

After Third Half life;

Remaining mass = 4 / 2 =  2 g

After Fourth Half life;

Remaining mass = 2 / 2 = 1 g
