So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow.
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.
Answer:
Thermal decomposition or cracking
Explanation:
Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.
Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.
When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.
Example is given below:
C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
Answer:
The pH of the buffer solution = 8.05
Explanation:
Using the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation;
pH = pKa₂ + log ( [HPO₄²-]/[H₂PO4⁻]
where pKa₂ = -log (Ka₂) = -log ( 6.1 * 10⁻⁸) = 7.21
Concentration of OH⁻ added = 0.069 M (i.e. 0.069 mol/L)
[H₂PO4⁻] after addition of OH⁻ = 0.165 - 0.069 = 0.096 M
[HPO₄²-] after addition of OH⁻ = 0.594 + 0.069 = 0.663 M
Therefore,
pH = 7.21 + log (0.663 / 0.096)
pH = 7.21 + 0.84
pH = 8.05
