<span>The answer is A. This is because sunlight is composed of various wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. In the visible light spectrum, red light has a higher frequency (lower wavelength) than blue light that has a lower frequency (higher wavelength). Therefore red light has higher energy than blue light hence able to penetrate more into the atmosphere before scattering, compared to blue light. At sunrise and sunset, due to the relative angle  of the sun to the observer, the sun rays have to penetrate a thicker layer to the atmosphere before reaching the observer</span>

What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion
DanielleElmas [232]
The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The process in which a solid changes directly to a gas is called sublimation. It occurs when the particles of a solid absorb enough energy to completely overcome the force of attraction between them. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide, CO2) is an example of a solid that undergoes sublimation.

Suppose a 2.95 g of potassium iodide is dissolved in 350. mL of a 62.0 m M aqueous solution of silver nitrate. Calculate the fin
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer : The final molarity of iodide anion in the solution is 0.0508 M.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of KI and AgNO_3.

\text{Moles of }KI=\frac{\text{Mass of }KI}{\text{Molar mass of }KI}

Molar mass of KI = 166 g/mole

\text{Moles of }KI=\frac{2.95g}{166g/mole}=0.0178mole

and,

\text{Moles of }AgNO_3=\text{Concentration of }AgNO_3\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.0620M\times 0.350L=0.0217mole

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The given chemical reaction is:

KI+AgNO_3\rightarrow KNO_3+AgI

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of KI react with 1 mole of AgNO_3

So, 0.0178 mole of KI react with 0.0178 mole of AgNO_3

From this we conclude that, AgNO_3 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and KI is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of AgI

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of KI react to give 1 mole of AgI

So, 0.0178 moles of KI react to give 0.0178 moles of AgI

Thus,

Moles of AgI = Moles of I^- anion = Moles of Ag^+ cation = 0.0178 moles

Now we have to calculate the molarity of iodide anion in the solution.

\text{Concentration of }AgNO_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }AgNO_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }AgNO_3=\frac{0.0178mol}{0.350L}=0.0508M

Therefore, the final molarity of iodide anion in the solution is 0.0508 M.
