What is the definition of light in one sentence

Chemistry
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]4 years ago
4 0

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.

A 0.2 g sample of pyrolusite is analyzed for manganese content as follows. Add 50.0 mL of 0.1 M solution of ferrous ammonium sul
enyata [817]

Answer:

66.7%

Explanation:

The reaction for the titration of the excess ferrous ion is:

  • 5Fe⁺² + MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ → 5Fe³⁺ + Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

We calculate the moles of Fe⁺² from the used moles of KMnO₄:

  • 0.02 M * 15.0 mL = 0.30 mmol KMnO₄
  • 0.3 mmol KMnO₄ * \frac{5mmolFe^{+2}}{1mmolKMnO_4} = 1.5 mmol Fe⁺²

Then we substract those 0.30 mmol from the original amount used:

  • 0.1 M * 50.0 mL = 5.0 mmol Fe⁺²
  • 5.0 - 1.5 = 3.5 mmol Fe⁺²

The reaction between ferrous ammonium sulfate and MnO₂ is:

  • 2Fe⁺² + MnO₂ + 4H⁺ → 2Fe³⁺ + Mn²⁺ + 2H₂O

So we convert those 3.5 mmol Fe⁺² that were used in this reaction to MnO₂ moles:

  • 3.5 mmol Fe⁺²  * \frac{1mmolMnO_2}{2mmolFe^{+2}}= 1.75 mmol MnO₂

Then we convert MnO₂ to Mn₃O₄, using the reaction:

  • 3MnO₂ → Mn₃O₄ + O₂
  • 1.75 mmol MnO₂ * \frac{1mmolMn_3O_4}{3mmolMnO_2} = 0.583 mmol Mn₃O₄

Finally we convert Mn₃O₄ moles to grams:

  • 0.583 mmol Mn₃O₄ * 228.82 mg/mmol = 133.40 mg Mn₃O₄

And calculate the percent

  • 0.2 g = 200 mg
  • 133.40 / 200 * 100% = 66.7%

Science lab questions:
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

glucose and galactose

concentration of the enzyme

temperature and pH

glucose and galactose

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts. They catalyze various biochemical reactions in the  body. Enzymes are proteins.

The enzyme responsible for the breakdown of lactose is lactase. This enzyme catalyzes the breakdown of lactose to glucose and galactose. Galactose is about 65% as sweet as sucrose.

The rate of enzyme reaction is influenced by the concentration of the enzyme.  As the concentration of the enzyme is increased, the velocity of the reaction proportionately increases.

Temperature and pH are important environmental factors that affect the rate of enzyme catalyzed reaction because they influence the activity of the enzyme and may even denature the enzyme.
