Explain in terms of both electrons and energy how the bright line spectrum of an element is produced

1 answer:

4 0

The atoms don't absorb the energy; the electrons absorb the energy. Electrons around atoms, without energy, are in an unexcited state, called a ground state. Once energy is absorbed, however, the electrons become excited, meaning they have more energy and are going to release it. Once they are excited, they make a transition from a lower valence shell to a higher valence shell, which is the transition state. Then, the electrons fall back to their own valence shell, releasing the energy, and are put in the ground state again. The energy that is released as quanta, which is how a bright-line spectrum is produced.

PLEASE HELP ASAP I'M SO STRESSED

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

160.3g

Explanation:

We know the equation:

No of moles = mass ÷ Mass of element

We need to find the mass, so make mass the subject of the formula.

Mass = No. of moles × mass of element

Mass = 5 × 32.06

Mass = 160.3g

What is the total amount of matter in an ecosystem doing? always changing always increasing always decreasing remaining the same

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Remaining the same

Explanation:

By the Lavoisier's principle the matter can't be created nor destroyed, but always transformed.

It means that in an ecosystem, the matter, and also the energy, is not increasing and not decreasing, the total amount remains the same, but in different forms.

What would cause the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%?

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

All of the limiting reagent gets used up causes the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%

Explanation:

It is rare for a chemical reaction to occur with the right proportion of reactants that reacts together to form resultant products.During this process, one of the reactants gets used up faster resulting in the lower percent yield. Such product that gets used up faster is called limiting reagent. This limiting reagent is responsible for lowering the percentage yield in the chemical reaction.

The limiting reactant can be found easily by calculating the yield of each reactant assuming they are consumed completely. The reactant which has least yield is the limiting reactant of the reaction.

A steel tank contains carbon dioxide at a pressure of 13.0 atm when the temperature is 34oC. What will be the internal gas press

morpeh [17]

Answer:

D. 15.8atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial pressure = 13atm

Initial temperature = 34°C = 34 + 273 = 307K

Final temperature = 100°C = 100 + 273 = 373K
