As the electrons return o lower energy levels they gain energy in the form of light so this means that the colour of the light depends on the difference between two levels

Different elements produce different colors of light when heated because the electrons in these elements have different permissible energy levels. When an element is heated, the electrons inside it become excited and move to an higher energy level from the ground state. When the electrons drop from this higher energy level, they typically emit energy quantum, the color of the light that is observed at this stage depends on difference that exist in the two energy levels.<span />

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = $C_8H_8$ ;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

$DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}$

$\overline M_n= DP \times m$

$\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol$

$\overline M_n= 2604000 \ g/mol$

6. How many moles of water would require 92.048 kJ of heat to raise its temperature from 34.0 °C to 100.0 °C? (3 marks)

scoray [572]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, 0.0185 moles of water are required.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

<h3>Mass of water required</h3>

In this case, you know:

Heat= 92.048 kJ
Mass of water = ?
Initial temperature of water= 34 ºC
Final temperature of water= 100 ºC
Specific heat of water = 4.186 $\frac{J}{gC}$

Replacing in the expression to calculate heat exchanges:

92.048 kJ = 4.186 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × m× (100 °C -34 °C)

92.048 kJ = 4.186 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × m× 66 °C

m= 92.048 kJ ÷ (4.186 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × 66 °C)

<u><em>m= 0.333 grams</em></u>

<h3>Moles of water required</h3>

Being the molar mass of water 18 $\frac{g}{mole}$ , that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole, the moles of water required can be calculated as:
