Scientists use a spectroscope to receive the image of a spectra of light coming from faraway stars. Spectra is sometimes considered to be the fingerprint of the elements, with each elements having different spectra.

Explanation:

They do this by examining the spectrum of light from a star. When an ingredient is inspired, it gives off the light in distinct wavelengths, or colors.

The spectra of the Sun and stars presented bright and dark lines called Fraunhofer lines. Those were shown to be generated by elements transmitting or receiving light at specific wavelengths. Because each element emits or absorbs light only at specific wavelengths, the chemical distribution of stars can be resolved.

Oxygen gas generated in an experiment is collected at 25.0°C in a bottle inverted in a trough of water. The total pressure is 1.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

0.007 mol

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is the total pressure, V is the volume, R the gas constant, T is the temperature and n is the number of moles we are seeking.

Keep in mind that when  we collect a gas over water we have to correct for the vapor pressure of water at  the temperature in the experiment.

Ptotal = PH₂O + PO₂  ⇒ PO₂ = Ptotal - PH₂O

Since R constant has unit of Latm/Kmol we have to convert to the proper unit the volume and temperature.

P H₂O = 23.8 mmHg x 1 atm/760 mmHg =  0.031 atm

V = 1750 mL x 1 L/ 1000 mL = 0.175 L

T = (25 + 273) K = 298 K

PO₂ = 1 atm - 0.031 atm = 0.969 atm

n =  PV/RT = 0.969 atm x  0.1750 L / (0.08205 Latm/Kmol x 298 K)

n = 0.007 mol
