What is the definition of light in one sentence

Chemistry

The dictionary definiton of light is:

the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.

I'll paraphrase/give a scientific definition:

Light is made of subatomic particles called photons, which jumps electron shells when they're excited, effecting the electromagnetic spectrum, creating visible light.

Hope this helps. Might not as I'm not perfect on this topic yet.

The atomic number of fluorine is 9. How many electrons does an ion of fluorine have if it is represented by the symbol shown bel

Irina-Kira [14]

See charge on ion is -1 .

Hence it has taken 1 electron

Now first look at EC of Fluorine(F)

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^5$

Now one electron added .hence no of electrons is 10now

Look at the EC

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^6$

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow [He]$

Option C is correct.

In an isolated system, mass can neither be created or destroyed. ube FALSE TRUE

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

Hope it helps

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in th

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: The standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ

Explanation:

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Mg(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(g)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+2H_2O(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))}=-924.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))}=-92.30kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))}=-641.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.8kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times (-641.8))+(2\times (-241.8))]-[(1\times (-924.5))+(2\times (-92.30))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-16.3kJ$

Hence, the standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ

In a certain industrial process involving a heterogeneous catalyst, the volume of the catalyst (in the shape of a sphere) is 10.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

a. The second run will be faster.

d. The second run has twice the surface area.

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6V)^{2/3}$

The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6.10.0)^{2/3}=22.4cm^{2}$

The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:

$A=\pi ^{1/3} (6. 1.25)^{2/3}=5.61cm^{2}$

The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²

The ratio of 8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00

Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.
