Which statement describes how an atom in the ground state becomes excited

1 answer:

4 0

The ground state of an electron, the energy level it normally occupies, is the state of lowest energy for that electron. ... An electron can become excited if it is given extra energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a nearby atom or particle. (I do not take credit for that answer)

Which statement about the earth atmosphere is true

liq [111]

I believe it to be C

Explanation: The concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere is currently at nearly 412 parts per million (ppm) and rising. This represents a 47 percent increase since the beginning of the Industrial Age, when the concentration was near 280 ppm, and an 11 percent increase since 2000, when it was near 370 ppm.

Calculate ΔHrxnΔHrxn for the following reaction: 3C(s)+4H2(g)→C3H8(l)3C(s)+4H2(g)→C3H8(l) Use the following reactions and given

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: The $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is -120.9 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

$3C(s)+4H_2(g)\rightarrow C_3H_8(l)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $C_3H_8(l)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_1=-2026.6kJ$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.5kJ$ ( × 3)

(3) $2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-483.5kJ$ ( × 2)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (-\Delta H_1)]+[3\times \Delta H_2]+[2\times \Delta H_3]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times -(-2026.6))+(3\times (-393.5))+(2\times (-483.5))]=-120.9kJ$

Hence, the $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is -120.9 kJ.

Which of these best describes the relationship between the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere

torisob [31]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of these best describes the relationship between the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere?

A: The coolest layers are farthest from the core.

B: The least dense layers are closest to the core.

C: The layers with the highest concentration of metals are closest to the crust.

D: The layers that remain in a molten state are closest to the crust.

Answer:

The coolest layers are farthest from the core.

Explanation:

When we talk about the internal structure of Earth, we mean the subdivisions of the solid Earth, that is, the concentric spherical layers that marks out the structure of the solid Earth.

The inner core is the innermost part of the earth's core and is known to have extremely high temperature. This high temperature steadily decreases as you approach the earth's surface.

Hence, the coolest layers are farthest from the core.

How do chemists explain on a molecular basis

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Explanation:

It happens because particles of gas are in constant random motion. Thus they can collide with the walls of the container causing pressure on the walls.
