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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:  The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

        CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.

What types of chemical<br> reactions can change a toxic<br> chemical into one that is less<br> toxic
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Very toxic materials are substances that may cause significant harm or even death to an individual if even very small amounts enter the body.There are a number of very toxic materials that may be used in workplaces. Some examples include carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine and sodium cyanide

Explanation:

here are generally four types of toxic entities; chemical, biological, physical and radiation: Chemical toxicants include inorganic substances such as, lead, mercury, hydrofluoric acid, and chlorine gas, and organic compounds such as methyl alcohol, most medications, and toxins.

How do I do letter D? Someone help me please
Minchanka [31]
So for D you have to find energy right
from c you get wavelength Lambda
so on D use this
E = Hc / lambda
c is given 1.5 x 10 ^20
h = 6.624 x 10^-34
and then you get answer for energy

A sample of gas initially has a volume of 2.25 L at 350 K and a pressure of 1.75 atm. What will be sample pressure if the volume
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

8.44 atm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2.25 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 350 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 1.75 atm

Final volume (V₂) = 1 L

Final temperature (T₂) = 750 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The final pressure of the gas can be obtained as illustrated below:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.75 × 2.25 / 350 = P₂ × 1 / 750

3.9375 / 350 = P₂ / 750

Cross multiply

350 × P₂ = 3.9375 × 750

350 × P₂ = 2953.125

Divide both side by 350

P₂ = 2953.125 / 350

P₂ = 8.44 atm

Thus, the final pressure of the gas is 8.44 atm.
