Answer:

The transition from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy.

Explanation:

When transition occur from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy. Electron could not jump unto higher energy level without gaining thew energy.

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

For example electron when jumped from 2nd to 3rd shell it gain energy and when in return back to 2nd shell from 3rd shell it loses energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Weathering is usually defined as the disintegration of rocks at the surface of the earth. This break down of rocks is mainly caused by the geological processes that occur on the earth's surface. This process results in the formation of sediments that are transported and deposited in a new environment.

This weathering process primarily takes place in three different ways such as-

Physical weathering- Here, the rocks are broken down by the physical agents such as wind, water, ice.

Chemical weathering- Here the rocks are broken down when interacts with the chemical containing water.

Biological weathering- here, the rocks are broken down due to the activities done by organisms such as plants and animals.

In the given condition, Quincy can see a real example of rock weathering in the high mountainous region, as in the mountainous region the rocks are frequently weathered and eroded by the agents such as wind, water, and ice.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Alchemists in the Middle Ages dreamed of converting base metals, such as lead, into precious metals—gold and silver. Why could t

lesantik [10]

Explanation:

Each element in the periodic table has different but fixed number of the protons in nucleus of it's atom, which is known as the atomic number.

Transmutation of one chemical element into the another involves the changing of the atomic number. Such nuclear reaction requires millions of the times more energy as compared to normal chemical reactions. Thus, the dream of the alchemist of transmuting the lead into the gold was never achievable chemically .

Conversion of lead to gold in today's world:

This conversion is indeed possible. The requirements are a particle accelerator, tremendous supply of the energy. Nuclear scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory located in California, more than 30 years ago, succeeded in producing very minute amounts of the gold from the bismuth. Bismuth is a metallic element which is adjacent to the lead on periodic table. Same process would work for the lead but isolating gold at end of reaction would prove much more difficult because lead is available in many isotopes. The homogeneous nature of the element means that it is easier to separate the gold from the bismuth as compared to separate the gold from the lead which has four isotopic identities which all are stable.

A solution is made by dissolving 0.565 g of potassium nitrate in enough water to make up 250. mL of solution. What is the molari

aalyn [17]

<h3>Molar mass of Potassium Nitrate:-</h3>

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto KNO_3$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto 39u+14u+3(16u)$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto 53u+48u$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto 101u$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto 101g/mol$

Now

$\boxed{\sf No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}}$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{0.565}{101}$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=0.005mol$

We know

$\boxed{\sf Molarity=\dfrac{Moles\:of\:solute}{Vol\:of\:Solution\:in\:L}}$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto Molarity=\dfrac{0.005}{\dfrac{250}{1000}L}$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto Molarity=\dfrac{0.005}{0.250}$

$\\ \large\sf\longmapsto Molarity=0.02M$

What is the poH of a<br> 2.6 x 10-6 M H+ solution?

andriy [413]

Answer:

Explanation:

pH and pOH.....

The pH is a way of expressing the hydrogen ion concentration.

pH = -log[H+] ............. where [x] means "the concentration of x in moles per liter."

From pH you can compute pOH since at 25C pH + pOH = 14.00 .......... (but only at 25C)

pH = -log(2.6x10^-6) = 5.585 ..... which should be rounded to two significant digits: pH = 5.59

When taking the log of a number, only the digits to the right of the decimal reflect the precision in the original number. Since 2.6x10^-6 has two significant digits, a pH of 5.59 has two significant digits.

pOH + pH = 14.00

pOH = 14.00 - pH = 14.00 - 5.59 = 8.41 ......... at 25C

We can also use the H+ ion concentration to get the hydroxide ion concentration and from that the pOH.

Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1.00x10^-14 .......... at 25C .... like any Kc, the value changes with temperature

[OH-] = Kw / [H+] = 1.00x10^-14 / 2.6x10^-6 = 3.846x10^-9 .... to a couple of guard digits

pOH = -log[OH-] = -log(3.846x10^-9) = 8.415 ...... round to two significant digits: pOH = 8.42 ..... at 25C

=========

Just for grins, you might want to know how Kw changes with temperature, and how [H+] and [OH-] are related at some other temperatures. The pH is the pH of a neutral solution at various temperatures. For instance at 10C a neutral solution has a pH of 7.27. That's not a basic pH. 7.27 is the pH of a neutral solution, but at a different temperature. In a neutral solution at 10C [H+] = [OH-] = 5.41x10^-8M.

pH and Kw for a neutral solution at different temperatures

T .........pH ......... Kw

0......... 7.47....... 0.114 x 10-14

10....... 7.27....... 0.293 x 10-14

20....... 7.08....... 0.681 x 10-14

25....... 7.00....... 1.008 x 10-14

30....... 6.92....... 1.471 x 10-14

40....... 6.77....... 2.916 x 10-14

50....... 6.63....... 5.476 x 10-14

100..... 6.14....... 51.3 x 10-14
