<u>Answer:</u> By using litmus paper.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Litmus paper is an indicator which helps us to determine the solution as acidic or basic. These are of two types: red litmus paper and Blue litmus paper.

Red litmus paper is resistant to Acidic solution but it changes its color to blue when dipped in basic solution.

Blue litmus paper is resistant to Basic solution but it changes its color to red when dipped in acidic solution.

Hence, we can use litmus paper to test whether the unknown solution is acidic or basic.

Answer:

Explanation:

21. Atoms are not created or destroyed means that atoms that you begin with are the atoms that you will end with. The catch is that the atoms will rearrange to give you new compounds, but the atoms that you initially had are the atoms you will still have after reaction. For eg, if you started with eggs and made omelet. Omelet is a "new" compound, but the atoms that were in the eggs have rearranged to become the omelet so can you see that atoms were not created or destroyed to make the omelet.

22. Yes because amount of products you make depends on how much reactants you have. For eg, I need two graham cracker(GC), one marshmallow(M), and one chocolate (C) to make a s'more. If I get more of each item then I can make more s'mores and consequently having minimum amounts results in less s'mores that I make.

23. Not possible, due to law of conservation of matter and energy. Atoms cannot be created nor be destroyed, they are simply rearranged. For eg, Taking A + B cannot give you a new compound with a chemical formula D or XZ. A + B can however give you AB which is rearrangement of the starting atoms.

24. Chemical equation is balanced when atoms on reactant side and atoms of product side are in equal counts. I have attached a graphic below for more help.

Using the Bohr model, determine the energy in joules of the photon produced when an electron in a Li2+ ion moves from the orbit
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

By the Bohr model, the electrons surround the nucleus of the atom in shells or levels of energy. Each one has it's energy, and the electron doesn't fall to the nucleus because it can reach another level of energy, and then return to its level.

When the electrons go to another level, it absorbs energy, and then, when return, this energy is released, as a photon (generally as luminous energy). The value of the energy can be calculated by:

E = hc/λ

Where h is the Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), c is the light speed (3.00x10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the photon.

The wavelength can be calculated by:

1/λ = R*(1/nf² - 1/ni²)

Where R is the Rydberg constant (1.097x10⁷ m⁻¹), nf is the final orbit, and ni the initial orbit. So:

1/λ = 1.097x10⁷ *(1/1² - 1/2²)

1/λ = 8.227x10⁶

λ = 1.215x10⁻⁷ m

So, the energy is:

E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.00x10⁸)/(1.215x10⁻⁷)

E = 1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J

What does the atomic weight of an element represent
Marrrta [24]

The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.


The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

The solution you identified in question (1) acts as a buffer due to reactions that occur within the solution when an acid or a b
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{CH_3COO^{-} \ (aq) + H^{+}\ (aq) \longrightarrow CH_3COOH \ (aq)}"

Explanation:

When HCI is added in the chemical equation it reacts with sodium acetate so, it will give the following chemical equation:

CH_3COONa\ (aq) + HCl\ (aq)\longrightarrow CH_3COOH\ (aq) + NaCl\ (aq)\\\\

 In this, the CH_3COOH is a weak acid so, it not completely dissociated.

CH_3COONa \ (aq) \ \ and \ NaCl were strong electrolytes they are completely dissociated.

The HCl is a strong acid so, it is completely dissociated So, the net ionic equation is:

CH_3COO^{-} \ (aq) + H^{+}\ (aq) \longrightarrow CH_3COOH \ (aq)
