We observe a distant object in space and see that the spectral lines for hydrogen in the object's light appear at a shorter wave

length than normal. What does this tell us about the object
Chemistry

Answer:

This tells us the radial velocity of the object and that the object is approaching or coming towards us.

Explanation:

Certain chemicals radiate with particular wavelengths or colors  when their temperature is raised or when they are charged electrically. Also observable are dark strokes separating the spectrum known as absorption lines

These spectral lines of chemicals are well known as stated above and from the phenomenon of Doppler effect, spectroscopy can be used to detect the movement of a distant object by the change of the emitted frequency of the wavelength

The Doppler effect is used in calculating the radial velocity of a distant object due to the fact that an approaching object compresses its emitted signal wavelength while a receding object has a longer wavelength than normal

what would the percentage of thorium-232 ( parent compound) be in a rock that was dated at 1.8 billion years
vovikov84 [41]

The half-life of Th-232 is 1.405 × 10¹⁰ years  

Time elapsed = 2.8 x 10⁹ years  

Equation of radioactive decay:

A = A₀ = (1/2)^ t/t₁/₂

Thus, the percentage of thorium-232 in the rock that was dated at 2.8 billions year = 87.1%

If 38.5 grams of potassium react with excess oxygen gas, how many grams of potassium oxide can be produced? 4K + O2 yields 2K2O
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

46.40 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
  • It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
  • We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>

n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.

0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.

∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.

  • Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.

Consider the unbalanced equation for the oxidation of aluminum.
SashulF [63]
In order to balance an equation, we apply the principle of conservation of mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the mass of an element before and after a reaction remains constant. Here, the balanced equation becomes:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

The coefficients are 4, 3 and 2.

Convert the composition of the following alloy from atom percent to weight percent (a) 44.9 at% of silver, (b) 46.3 at% of gold,
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Mass percentage of gold : 33.35%

Mass percentage of silver: 62.80%

Mass percentage of copper : 3.85%

Explanation:

N=n\times N_A

Where : N = Number of atoms

n = moles

N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} = Avogadro number

Let the total atoms present in the alloy be 100.

Atom percentage of silver = 44.9%

Atoms of of silver = 44.9% of 100 atoms = 44.9

Atomic weight of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 silver atoms = 107.87 g/mol ×  44.9 = 4,843.363 g/mol

Atom percentage of gold= 46.3%

Atoms of of gold = 46.3% of 100 atoms = 46.3

Atomic weight of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 gold atoms = 196.97 g/mol × 46.3 = 9,119.711 g/mol

Atom percentage of copper = 8.8 %

Atoms of of copper = 8.8% of 100 atoms = 8.8

Atomic weight of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 copper atoms = 63.55 g/mol ×  8.8 = 559.24 g/mol

Total mass of an alloy :4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol

Mass percentage of gold :

\frac{4,843.363 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=33.35 \%

Mass percentage of silver:

\frac{9,119.711 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=62.80\%

Mass percentage of copper :

\frac{559.24 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=3.85\%
