The way I would explain it is quite difficult to understand, so this is what Google says. "The wavelength (or equivalently, frequency) of the photon is determined by the difference in energy between the two states. These emitted photons form the element's spectrum. The fact that only certain colors appear in an element's atomic emission spectrum means that only certain frequencies of light are emitted." I hope this helped.

Pesticide concentrations in the Rhine River between Germany and France between 1969 and 1975 averaged 0.55 mg/L of hexachloroben
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

1.93×10⁻³ mmoles/L of C₆Cl₆; 1.58×10⁻⁴ mmoles/L of C₁₂H₈Cl₆O; 3.51×10⁻³ mmoles/L of C₆H₆Cl₆

Explanation:

We have to find out the molar mass of each pesticide to calculate the moles, and then the milimoles

C₆Cl₆ → 12. 6 + 35.45 .6 = 284.7 g/m

C₁₂H₈Cl₆O →  12 . 12 + 8.1 + 35.45 .6 + 16 = 380.7 g/m

C₆H₆Cl₆ → 12.6 + 6.1 + 35.45 .6 = 290,7 g/m

Let's convert mg to g (/1000)

0.55 mg / 1000 = 5.5×10⁻⁴ g

0.060 mg / 1000 = 6×10⁻⁵ g

1.02 mg / 1000 = 1.02×10⁻³ g

Now we can know the moles (mass / molar mass)

5.5×10⁻⁴ g / 284.7 g/m = 1.93×10⁻⁶ moles of C₆Cl₆

6×10⁻⁵ g / 380.7 g/m = 1.58×10⁻⁷ moles of C₁₂H₈Cl₆O

1.02×10⁻³ g / 290,7 g/m = 3.51×10⁻⁶ moles of C₆H₆Cl₆

Milimoles = Mol . 1000

1.93×10⁻⁶ . 1000 = 1.93×10⁻³ mmoles of C₆Cl₆

1.58×10⁻⁷ . 1000 = 1.58×10⁻⁴ mmoles of C₁₂H₈Cl₆O

3.51×10⁻⁶ . 1000 = 3.51×10⁻³ mmoles of C₆H₆Cl₆
