Animals use oxygen to convert this food into energy they can use, and to maintain a steady supply of carbon atoms that are necessary for building any animal cells. Respiration also returns carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere as a waste product, where plants can reabsorb it in the process of photosynthesis. hope I helped.

When an electron in a 2p orbital of a particular atom makes a transition to the 2s orbital, a photon of approximate wavelength 6

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is $3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

Explanation:

Wavelength of the photon emitted = $\lambda =646.3 nm =646.3\times 10^{-9} m$

Energy of the photon will corresponds to the energy difference between 2p and 2s orbital = E

Energy of the photon is given by Planck's equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js$

c = Speed of the light = $3\times 10^8 m/s$

$E=\frac{6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{646.3\times 10^{-9} m}$

$E=3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is $3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

The density of an element is 19.3 g/cm^3. What is its density in kg/m^3?

Karolina [17]

First, you need to know 1 kg = 10^3 g. And 1 m^3 = 10^6 m^3. So the 1 g/cm3 = 10^3 kg/m3. So the answer is 1.93*10^4 kg/m3.

Consider a mixture of soil and water and compare it to a colloid, such as milk. Which property best differentiates these two mix

mezya [45]

There are many differentiates between them. Like if you standing these two mixture, the soil and water will separate while milk will not. And colloid have tyndall effect while soil and water doesn't have.
