The quinine in tonic water shines a strange blue-white colour when lit with UV light. Explain what is happening here.

Chemistry

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

Quinine contains phosphors, substances that glow when they are hit with certain wavelengths of light.

The phosphors in quinine absorb UV light, which is invisible to our eyes.

Electrons in the phosphors absorb the UV energy and are excited to higher energy levels.

When the electrons drop back to lower energy levels, they emit some of this energy as a glowing blue visible light.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

a) 72 °F= 22.22 °C

b)  213.8 °C=  416.84°F

c) 180 °C= 453.15 °K

d) 315 °K=  107.33 °F

e) 1750 °F= 1227.594 °K

f) 0 °K=  -459.67 °F

Explanation:

Para realizar el intercambio de unidades debes tener en cuenta las siguientes conversiones:

  • Fahrenheit a Celsius: C=\frac{F-32}{1.8}
  • Celsius a Fahrenheit: °F= °C*1.8 + 32
  • Celsius a Kelvin: °K= °C + 273.15
  • Kelvin a Fahrenheit: F= (K -273.15)*1.8 + 32
  • Fahrenheit a Kelvin:K=\frac{F-32}{1.8} + 273.15

Entonces se obtiene:

a) 72 °F= \frac{72-32}{1.8}=22.22 °C

b)  213.8 °C= 213.8*1.8 + 32= 416.84°F

c) 180 °C= 180°C + 273.15= 453.15 °K

d) 315 °K= (315 -273.15)*1.8 + 32= 107.33 °F

e) 1750 °F= \frac{1750-32}{1.8} + 273.15= 1227.594 °K

f) 0 °K= (0 -273.15)*1.8 + 32= -459.67 °F

A piston in a heat engine does 500 joules of work, and 1400 joules of heat are added to the system. Determine the change in inte
san4es73 [151]

Answer : The change in internal energy is, 900 Joules.

Solution : Given,

Heat given to the system = +1400 J

Work done by the system = -500 J

Change in internal energy is equal to the sum of heat energy and work done.

Formula used :

\Delta U=q+w

where,

\Delta U = change in internal energy

q = heat energy

w = work done

As per question, heat is added to the system that means, q is positive and work done by the system that means, w is negative.

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

\Delta U=(+1400J)+(-500J)=900J

Therefore, the change in internal energy is 900 J.

The change in internal energy depends on the heat energy and work done. As we will change in the heat energy and work done, then changes  will occur in the internal energy. Hence, the energy is conserved.

HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!
lana [24]

Answer:

To calculate the theoretical yield, determine the number of moles of each reactant, in this case the sole reactant ethanol. Convert the 100 g to moles; the molecular weight of ethanol is 46 g/mole, therefore: Since there is only one reactant, it is also the limiting reagent.
