Why are only certain colors absorbed by and emitted from an atom?

1 answer:

6 0

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.

Does the size of an object<br> affect its rate of fall?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object equals the gravitational acceleration. The mass, size, and shape of the object are not a factor in describing the motion of the object. So all objects, regardless of size or shape or weight, free fall with the same acceleration

Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2. When SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts wit

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant

B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g

C) % yield =91.5%

Explanation:

SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)

n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols

n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols

a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant

According to the balanced reaction equation,

60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2

155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g

Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g

% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%

A 3000 MWt fast reactor has a 42% efficiency. This reactor operates for 23 months followed by a 1 month down time for refueling

n200080 [17]

Answer:

capacity factor = 0.952

Availability factor = 0.958

Explanation:

1) capacity factor

capacity factor = actual power output / maximum power output

= (actual power output)/(efficiency * rated power output)

$= \frac{1200}{\frac{42}{100}*3000}$

= 0.952

2) Availability factor

Availability factor = Actual operation time period/ total time period

= 23/24 = 0.958

A 2.5 L flask is filled with 0.25 atm SO3, 0.20 atm SO2, and 0.40 atm O2, and allowed to reach equilibrium. Assume at the temper

Anit [1.1K]

Explanation:

Reaction equation for the given chemical reaction is as follows.

$2SO_{3} \rightleftharpoons 2SO_{2} + O_{2}$

Equation for reaction quotient is as follows.

Q = $\frac{P^{2}_{SO_{2}} \times P_{O_{2}}}{P^{2}_{SO_{3}}}$

= $\frac{(0.20)^{2} \times 0.40}{(0.25)^{2}}$

= 0.256

As, Q > K (= 0.12)

The effect on the partial pressure of $SO_{3}$ as equilibrium is achieved by using Q, is as follows.

This means that there are too much products.

Equilibrium will shift to the left towards reactants.

More $SO_{3}$ is formed.

Partial pressure of $SO_{3}$ increases.
