Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. When you heat it, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty orbitals at higher levels Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.

Why do larger gases such as Neon produce more color bands (line spectra) than smaller gases like Hydrogen?
LekaFEV [45]
Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.

What do acid formulas have in common?
maks197457 [2]

the answer is H is the cation

Explanation :

The general formula of an acid is represented as,  in which 'H' is hydrogen cation and 'X' is a non-metal or a poly-atomic anion.

For example : etc.

All the acids produces hydrogen ion,  in an aqueous solution while the base produces hydroxide ion,  in an aqueous solution.

A solution is made by dissolving 0.656 mol of nonelectrolyte solute in 869 g of benzene. calculate the freezing point, tf, and b
solmaris [256]
Answer is: the freezing point is 1.63°C and boiling point is 82.01°C.<span>.

1) n(</span><span>nonelectrolyte solute) = 0.656 mol.
</span>m(C₆H₆ - benzene) = 869 g ÷ 1000 g/kg.
m(C₆H₆) = 0.869 kg.<span>
b(solution) = n(</span>nonelectrolyte solute) ÷ m(C₆H₆).<span>
b(solution) = 0.656 mol ÷ 0.869 kg.
b(solution) = 0.754 mol/kg.

2) ΔT = Kf(benzene) · b(solution).
ΔT = 5.12°C/m · 0.754 m.
ΔT = 3.865°C.
Tf = 5.50°C - 3.865°C.
Tf = 1.63°C.
</span>
3) ΔTb = Kb(benzene) · b(solution).
ΔTb = 2.53°C/m · 0.754 m.
ΔTb = 1.91°C.
Tb = 80.1°C + 1.91°C.
Tb = 82.01°C.<span>

What is the change in air pressure over a given distance called? wind speed air pressure force factor air pressure gradient​
lubasha [3.4K]

The change in pressure over a given distance is defined as a pressure gradient. The strength of this pressure gradient determines how fast the wind moves from higher pressure toward lower pressure. A stronger pressure gradient will cause stronger winds, as shown in Figure 2. >> Balanced in the vertical by the force of gravity

calculate the volume that will be occupied by 350 ml of oxygen measured at 720 mm hg, when the pressure changed to 630 mm hg
likoan [24]

Answer:

406.45mL

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

V1 = 350mL

P1 = 720mmHg

P2 = 630mmHg

V2 =?

The new volume can be obtain as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

720 x 350 = 620 x v2

Divide both side by 620

V2 = (720 x 350) /620

V2 = 406.45mL

The new volume of the gas is 406.45mL
