What is an absorption spectrum?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natasha2012 [34]3 years ago
5 0
Answer: option A. the colors absorbed when an element gains energy.

Justification:

The electromagnetic waves, visible light included, consists of a gamma of waves with different frequencies and wavelengths.

The visible light can be decomposed in a set of series of lines of light with different frequencies and that decomposition is what a spectrum of light is. Each series correspond to a color.


The atoms can absorb and emit photons. That is, atoms can absorb and release energy.

When the atom abosorbs a photon an electron gets excited ( the electron gains energy).

The light absorbed, then, corresponds to color absortion, and the spectrum of absortion is the colors absorbed by the atom when its electrons gain energy by the absortion of photons (light).

What is the critical angle for the interface between water and diamond?
zlopas [31]

The critical angle for the interface between water and diamond is 33.4 degrees.

<h3>What is the critical angle?</h3>

The greatest angle at which a ray of light traveling through one transparent medium can hit the border between that medium and a second of lower refractive index.

It strikes the border without being completely reflected within the first medium is called the critical angle in optics.

Thus, the critical angle for the interface between water and diamond is 33.4 degrees.

A scientist prepared an aqueous solution of a 0.45 M weak acid. The pH of the solution was 2.72. What is the percentage ionizati
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

0.42%

Explanation:

<em>∵ pH = - log[H⁺].</em>

2.72 = - log[H⁺]

∴ [H⁺] = 1.905 x 10⁻³.

<em>∵ [H⁺] = √Ka.C</em>

∴ [H⁺]² = Ka.C

∴ ka = [H⁺]²/C = (1.905 x 10⁻³)²/(0.45) = 8.068 x 10⁻⁶.

<em>∵ Ka = α²C.</em>

Where, α is the degree of dissociation.

<em>∴ α = √(Ka/C) </em>= √(8.065 x 10⁻⁶/0.45) = <em>4.234 x 10⁻³.</em>

<em>∴ percentage ionization of the acid = α x 100</em> = (4.233 x 10⁻³)(100) = <em>0.4233% ≅ 0.42%.</em>
