What is the application of the emission spectra regarding elements?

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Will the calculated Molarity of NaOH be too high or too low or unaffected if the following happen: when you answer the question,

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The result will be affected.

The mass of KHP weighed out was used to calculate the moles of KHP weighed out (moles = mass/molar mass).

Not all the sample is actually KHP if the KHP is a little moist, so when mass was used to determine the moles of KHP, a higher number of moles than what is actually present would be obtained (because some of that mass was not KHP but it was assumed to be so. Therefore, there is actually a less present number of moles than the certain number that was thought of.

During the titration, NaOH reacts in a 1:1 ratio with KHP. So it was determined that there was the same number of moles of NaOH was the volume used as there were KHP in the mass that was weighed out. Since there was an overestimation in the moles of KHP, then there also would be an overestimation in the number of moles of NaOH.

Thus, NaOH will appear at a higher concentration than it actually is.
