Which subatomic particle gives off visible light when it drops back down to a lower energy state?

Chemistry

icang [17]2 years ago

Answer:

Option C = electron

Explanation:

Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

How electrons produce the colored light:

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Other process may involve,

Fluorescence:

In fluorescence the energy is absorbed by the electron having shorter wavelength and high energy usually of U.V region. The process of absorbing the light occur in a very short period of time i.e. 10 ∧-15 sec. During the fluorescence the spin of electron not changed.

The electron is then de-excited by emitting the light in visible and IR region. This process of de-excitation occur in a time period of 10∧-9 sec.

Phosphorescence:

In phosphorescence the electron also goes to the excitation to the higher level by absorbing the U.V radiations. In case of Phosphorescence the transition back to the lower energy level occur very slowly and the spin pf electron also change.

What volume (in mL) of a 0.200 MHNO3 solution is required to completely react with 27.6 mL of a 0.100 MNa2CO3 solution according
ladessa [460]

Answer:

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>The balanced equation is:

Na2CO3(aq)+2HNO3(aq)→2NaNO3(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)

This means for 1 mole Na2CO3 consumed, there is consumed 2 mole of HNO3 and there is produced 2 moles of NaNO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculating moles of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 =volume of Na2CO3 * Molarity of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 = 27.6 *10^-3 * 0.1 M = 0.00276 moles

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculating moles of HNO3

In the balanced equation, we can see that for 1 mole of Na2CO3 consumed, there are consumed 2 moles of HNO3.

So for 0.00276 moles consumed of Na2CO3, there are consumed 0.00552 moles of HNO3.

This means 0.00276 moles of the base Na2CO3 would react with 0.00552 moles of the acid HNO3

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculating the volume of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = moles of HNO3 / Molarity of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = 0.00552 moles / 0.200 M  = 0.0276 L

0.0276 L = 27.6 ml

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required
