What causes the emission of radiant energy that produces characteristic spectral lines for a given element?​

Chemistry

Anarel [89]3 years ago

Answer:

When electrons move from a higher energy level to a lower one, photons are emitted, and an emission line can be seen in the spectrum. Absorption lines are seen when electrons absorb photons and move to higher energy levels. ... An atom in its lowest energy level is in the ground state.

Why is a thermocouple a good device for indicating the temperature<br><br> in a car engine?
Anna35 [415]

A thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature. Thermocouples are made with two wires of different metals, joined together at one end to form a junction. ... Naturally, a thermocouple outputs a millivolt signal, therefore, as the resistance changes, the change in voltage can be measured.

A buffer solution is made that is 0.347 M in H2C2O4 and 0.347 M KHC2O4.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

1. pH = 1.23.

2. H_2C_2O_4(aq) +OH^-(aq)\rightarrow HC_2O_4^-(aq)+H_2O(l)

Explanation:

Hello!

1. In this case, for the ionization of H2C2O4, we can write:

H_2C_2O_4\rightleftharpoons HC_2O_4^-+H^+

It means, that if it is forming a buffer solution with its conjugate base in the form of KHC2O4, we can compute the pH based on the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )

Whereas the pKa is:

pKa=-log(Ka)=-log(5.90x10^{-2})=1.23

The concentration of the base is 0.347 M and the concentration of the acid is 0.347 M as well, as seen on the statement; thus, the pH is:

pH=1.23+log(\frac{0.347M}{0.347M} )\\\\pH=1.23+0\\\\pH=1.23

2. Now, since the addition of KOH directly consumes 0.070 moles of acid, we can compute the remaining moles as follows:

n_{acid}=0.347mol/L*1.00L=0.347mol\\\\n_{acid}^{remaining}=0.347mol-0.070mol=0.277mol

It means that the acid remains in excess yet more base is yielded due to the effect of the OH ions provided by the KOH; therefore, the undergone chemical reaction is:

H_2C_2O_4(aq) +OH^-(aq)\rightarrow HC_2O_4^-(aq)+H_2O(l)

Which is also shown in net ionic notation.

Best regards!

Is O2 always a double bond?
Dima020 [189]
  • O-O single bonds and H-O single bonds in \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecules.
  • H-O single bonds in \text{H}_2\text{O} molecules.
  • O=O double bonds in \text{O}_2 molecules.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

How many valence electrons do atoms in each molecule need for them to be stable?

  • Each H atom needs two valence electrons to be stable.
  • Each atom of an element other than H needs eight valence electron to be stable.
  • There are two H atoms and two O atoms in an  \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule. Atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 need 2 \times 1 + 2\times 2 = 6 more electrons to be stable.
  • There are two H atoms and one O atom in an \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule. Atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule need 2 \times 1 + 2= 4 more electrons to be stable.
  • There are two O atoms in an \text{O}_2 molecule. Atoms in each \text{O}_2 molecule need 2 \times 2 = 4 more electrons to be stable.

How many chemical bonds in each molecule?

Each chemical bond adds one valence electron to each bonding atom. Each chemical bond connects two atoms. As a result, each chemical bond adds two valence electrons to the molecule.

  • Each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule needs 6 / 2 = 3 chemical bonds.
  • Each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule needs 4 / 2 = 2 chemical bonds.
  • Each \text{O}_2 molecule needs 4 /2= 2 chemical bonds.

What chemical bonds are these? Again, each H atom needs only one more valence electron to be stable. It will share only one electron with O and form one H-O bond. The rest of the chemical bonds are between O atoms.

  • There are two H atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Two of the three chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. The other is an O-O single bond between the two O atoms.
  • There are two H atoms in each \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Both chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. There's no O-O bond in this molecule.
  • There is no H atom in \text{O}_2 molecules. Both chemical bonds are between O atoms. However, there are only two O atoms. There must be two chemical bonds between the two O atoms. That bond will be an O-O double bond.

Explain in terms of types of matter why methane can be broken down by chemical means but argon cannot?
Fynjy0 [20]
Argon is a pure element which means that it cannot be broken down further than it already is. Methane, however, is a hydrocarbon, which means it is made out of both hydrogen and carbon and thus can be broken down to separate those elements.
