What is the application of the emission spectra regarding elements?
1 answer:
The emission spectrum of a chemical element or chemical compound is the spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to an atom or molecule making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state. The photon energy of the emitted photon is equal to the energy difference between the two states. There are many possible electron transitions for each atom, and each transition has a specific energy difference. This collection of different transitions, leading to different radiated wavelengths, make up an emission spectrum. Each element's emission spectrum is unique. Therefore, spectroscopy can be used to identify elements in matter of unknown composition. Similarly, the emission spectra of molecules can be used in chemical analysis of substances.

The volume of concentrated HCl : 2.073 ml
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
37% HCl by mass; density 1.19 g/mL
Required
The volume of concentrated HCl
Solution
Conversion to molarity :
37% x 1.19 g/ml =0.4403 g/ml
g/ml to mol/L :
=0.4403 g/ml x 1000 ml/L : 36.5 g/mol
=12.06 mol/L
or we can use formula :
Dilution formula :
M₁V₁=M₂V₂
12.06 M x V₁ = 0.1 M x 0.25 L
V₁ = 0.0021 L = 2.073 ml
