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.

Consider the following system at equilibrium where H° = 111 kJ/mol, and Kc = 6.30, at 723 K.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

1) The value of Kc:

C. remains the same.

2) The value of Qc:

A. is greater than Kc.

3) The reaction must:

B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium.

4) The concentration of N2 will:

B. decrease.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by means of the Le Chatelier's principle which is based on the shift a chemical reaction could have under some modifications, we have:

1) The value of Kc:

C. remains the same, since it just depend the reaction's thermodynamics as it is computed via:

ln(K)=\frac{\Delta _RG}{RT}

2) The value of Qc:

A. is greater than Kc, since the reaction quotient is:

Qc=\frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}

Thus, the lower the concentration of ammonia, the higher Qc, making Qc>Kc.

3) The reaction must:

B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium, since ammonia was withdrawn and should be regenerated to reach the equilibrium.

4) The concentration of N2 will:

B. decrease, since less reactant is forming the products.

Best regards.

DIRECTION: Supply the missing information about the scientist listed in the graphic
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The missing information or their role in the discovery of the cell is as follows:

Robert Hooke: He was the first scientist to called cells to tiny box-like cavities he saw in cork and illustrated as cells.

A. Leeuwenhoek: he was a microscopist and microbiologist who used microscopes and observed many other living cells. He called animalcules to these single-cell living organisms later used to prove that cells are the fundamental unit of life.

Schwann and Schleiden:  They presented the theory that suggested that the cells are basic building blocks of all living things.

Virchow: He observed that the cell dividing and come from pre-existing cells.

Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?
Lunna [17]

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.

given two equations representing reactions: which type of reaction is represented by each of these equations?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Equation 1 - nuclear fission

Equation 2 - nuclear fusion

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a reaction in which a large nucleus is split into smaller nuclei when it is bombarded by neutrons. The process produces more neutrons to continue the chain reaction. This is clearly depicted in equation 1 as shown in the question.

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two light nuclei combine in order to form a larger nuclei. This is clearly depicted in equation 2 as shown in the question.
