Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone who is more informed on this than I am, but wouldn't it be because of the magnetic fields and whatnot? The longer I think on it, the more I feel like I'm wrong, so don't take my word for it 100%

Electrons in atoms exist in particular energy level. A ___ must be emitted or absorbed to move between energy levels.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Photon of light

Explanation:

According to Bohr's model of the atom, electrons in atoms are found in specific energy levels. These energy levels are called stationary states, an electrons does not radiate energy when it occupies any of these stationary states.

However, an electron may absorb energy and move from one energy level or stationary state to another. The energy difference between the two energy levels must correspond to the energy of the photon of light absorbed in order to make the transition possible.

Since electrons are generally unstable in excited states, the electron quickly jumps back to ground states and emits the excess energy absorbed. The frequency or wavelength of the emitted photon can now be measured and used to characterize the transition. This is the principle behind many spectrometric and spectrophotometric methods.

Sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) react to form the liquid product of sulfur trioxide (SO3). How much sulfur dioxide
taurus [48]
1) Balanced chemical equation:

2SO2 (g) +  O2 (g) -> 2SO3 (l)

2) Molar ratios

2 mol SO2 : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol SO3

3) Convert 6.00 g O2 to moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles = 6.00 g / 32 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O2.

4) Use proportions with the molar ratios

=> 2 moles SO2 / 1 mol O2 = x / 0.1875 mol O2

=> x = 0.1875 mol O2 * 2 mol SO2 / 1 mol O2 = 0.375 mol SO2.

5) Convert 0.375 mol SO2 to grams

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass SO2 = 32 g/mol + 2*16 g/mol = 64 g/mol

=> mass SO2 = 0.375 mol * 64 g / mol = 24.0 g

Answer: 24.0 g of SO2 are needed to react completely with 6.00 g O2.
