Why do different chemicals emit different colors of light, and why is the color emitted specific to that chemical?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>Every chemical is made up of atoms and each atom has one or more electrons surrounded its nucleus. The electron emits light after changing from a high energy state o to a lower energy state which is known as transition. The color of this light is unique to each element because each atom of a particular element has a different transition energy.</span>

A compound is determined to have the empirical formula C2OH4. If the molar mass of the compound is 132 g/mol, determine the mole

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: The molecular formula will be $C_6O_3H_{12}$

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical weight of $C_2OH_{4}$ is $12\times 2+16\times 1+1\times 4=44g$

Molecular mass of compound is = 132 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{132}{44}=3$

The molecular formula will be= $3\times C_2OH_4=C_6O_3H_{12}$

What is the pH of a 0.28 M solution of ascorbic acid

Nady [450]

Hey there!

Values Ka1 and Ka2 :

Ka1 => 8.0*10⁻⁵

Ka2 => 1.6*10⁻¹²

H2A + H2O -------> H3O⁺ + HA⁻

Ka2 is very less so I am not considering that dissociation.

Now Ka = 8.0*10⁻⁵ = [H3O⁺] [HA⁻] / [H2A]

lets concentration of H3O⁺ = X then above equation will be

8.0*10−5 = [x] [x] / [0.28 -x

8.0*10−5 = x² / [0.28 -x ]

x² + 8.0*10⁻⁵x - 2.24 * 10⁻⁵

solve the quardratic equation

X =0.004693 M

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = - log [ 0.004693 ]

pH = 2.3285

Hope that helps!

A cubic piece of platinum metal (specific heat capacity = 0.1256 J/°C･g) at 200.0°C is dropped into 1.00 L of deuterium oxide ('

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

$a=5.65cm$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for this heat transfer process in which the heat lost by the hot platinum is gained by the cold deuterium oxide based on the equation:

$Q_{Pt}=-Q_{Deu}$

We can represent the heats in terms of mass, heat capacities and temperatures:

$m_{Pt}Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})=-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})$

Thus, we solve for the mass of platinum:

$m_{Pt}=\frac{-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})}{Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})} \\\\m_{Pt}=\frac{-1.00L*1110g/L*4.211J/(g\°C)*(41.9-25.5)\°C}{0.1256J/(g\°C)*(41.9-200.0)\°C} \\\\m_{Pt}=3860.4g$

Next, by using the density of platinum we compute the volume:

$V_{Pt}=\frac{3860.4g}{21.45g/cm^3}\\ \\V_{Pt}=180cm^3$

Which computed in terms of the edge length is:

$V=a^3$

Therefore, the edge length turns out:

$a=\sqrt[3]{180cm^3}\\ \\a=5.65cm$

Best regards.

What gas is released during cellular respiration?

alina1380 [7]

Carbon dioxide. <span>Cellular respiration is this process in which oxygen and glucose are used to create ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. ATP, carbon dioxide, and water are all products of this process because they are what is created. Carbon dioxide is released as a gas when you exhale.</span>

Which substance can not be broken down by a chemical change

Marina CMI [18]

A substance that cannot be broken down into even by chemical means is called an element. About 90 elements on the Periodic Table can be found naturally on Earth. Three of the most common ones are aluminium, silicon and oxygen.
Sorry I couldn't give you a more specific answer as your question wasn't multiple choice.
