Hi there

In order for an electron to jump into a higher energy state, it must first absorb energy (heat, light, etc).

When an electron goes back down to the ground state from the excited state, it emits energy usually in the form of a photon.

i hope this helps

1. What amount of ammonia (in moles) is produced by the reaction of 4.00 mol H2 with 3.00 mol Nz?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
<h2>Answer:  6 moles</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

3 H₂    +    N₂   →   2 NH₃

   ↓            ↓

4 mol       3 mol

Since the moles of N₂ is the smaller of the two reactants, then N₂ is the limiting factor (the reactant that will decide how much ammonia is produced since it has the smaller amount of moles). ∴ we have to use it in calculating the number of moles of ammonia

The mole ratio of N₂ to NH₃ based on the balanced equation is 1 to 2.

∴ the moles of NH₃ = moles of N₂ × 2

                                =  3 moles × 2

                                = 6 moles

Landfills are one source of CO2. As garbage decomposes, it releases CO2 into the air. Can you think of at least
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Recycling and reuse of materials

Explanation:

One of the greatest problems facing the human population is the problem of solid waste disposal. The menace of solid waste disposal has led to the idea of landfills. Land fills are depressions on the earth surface prepared for the purpose of solid waste disposal.

The most important approach towards solid waste disposal is the idea of recycling of materials. A material can be collected after use and processed into the same material or serve as a precursor in another manufacturing process. This means that no waste is generated as the materials which are supposed to be disposed of as solid waste are processed into other useful materials. This will reduce the volume of solid wastes generated that may need to be disposed in a landfill.

Phosphorus has three isotopes, 31p, 32p, and 33p. the atomic number of phosphorus is 15. how many protons does each of the isoto
klemol [59]
<span>For isotopes of any element, the number of protons remains the same, BUT the number of neutrons changes. Since each of the isotopes listed is phosphorus, All three have 15 protons. (They have 16, 17 and 18 protons respectively.)</span>
