Answer:

When elements are heated or energized, their electrons absorb energy and transition to a higher energy level.

Answer:

when an electron jumped into higher energy level  from lower energy level it must absorbed the energy because with small amount of energy it can not jumped into higher energy level.

when it came back to lower energy level it release extra energy.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum .

Answer:

a rapidly flowing river discharges into the ocean where tidal currents are weak.

Explanation:

The force of the river pushing fresh water out to sea rather than tidal currents transporting seawater upstream determines the water circulation in these estuaries.

How many moles are there in 2.30 x 1024 atoms of silver?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Step 1 should be convert atoms to moles (n). Step 2 should be convert moles (n) to mass (m).

Step 1

Use dimensional analysis to convert the number of atoms to moles.

1 mole atoms = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

n(Ag) = 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms × (1 mol Ag/6.022 × 10²³ Ag atoms) = 3.8193 mol Ag

Step 2

Convert the moles of Ag to mass.

mass (m) = moles (n) × molar mass (M)

n(Ag) = 3.8193 mol Ag

M(Ag) = atomic weight on the periodic table in g/mol = 107.868 g Ag/mol Ag

m(Ag) = 3.8193 mol × 107.868 g/mol = 412 g Ag = 410 g Ag rounded to two significant figures

The mass of 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms is approximately 410 g.

Liquid water can be separated into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas through electrolysis. 1 mole of hydrogen gas and 0.5 moles of oxy
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The temperatures of the gases will not be equal as oxygen gas will have a higher temperature than hydrogen gas because it has fewer moles overall.

<h3>Briefing :</h3>

The mechanical behavior of ideal gases is described by the ideal gas law. It has the ability to compute the volume of gases created or absorbed.

This equation is frequently used in chemical equations to convert between volumes and molar quantities.

According to the ideal gas law, there is a relationship between gas pressure, temperature, and volume.

PV = nRT

V is the same for both

So,

T is same for both.

When n increases, T decreases, so since n for hydrogen gas is 1 and n for oxygen gas is 0.5, it follows that oxygen gas will have a higher temperature than hydrogen gas because it has fewer moles overall.
