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

Chemistry

<span>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.</span>

The given potentials are observed for a calomel electrode: E ° = 0.268 V and E ( saturated KCl ) = 0.241 V . Use this informatio
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: The E for Silver-silver Chloride electrode = 0.287 V

Explanation:

Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) with a value for E° that is actually +0.222 V or approximately 0.23 V has the actual potential of the half-cell prepared in this way as +0.197 V vs SHE, (Standard Hydrogen Electrode) which arises because in addition to KCl, there is the contribuion of AgCl to the chloride activity, which isn't exactly unity.

Therefore, the E for the Ag/AgCl electrode would approximately equal 0.287 V

Big question for physicists out there:How can we be sure dark matter actually exists in our universe?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

We can see the bright matter, like stars, but we know some other matter is there(dark matter)because of how it pulls on the bright matter.
