What is the definition of light in one sentence

Chemistry
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 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.

There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore
devlian [24]

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore,  which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\

Where the short tons are cancelled out as well as the grams, in order to obtain:

0.103 otz

A compound is composed of 58.8% c, 9.8% h, and 31.4% o, and the molar mass is 102 g/mol. what is the molecular formula for this
Ivahew [28]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

<span>Moles of carbon = 58.8 / 12 = 4.9 </span><span>
<span>Moles of hydrogen = 9.8 / 1 = 9.8 </span>
<span>Moles of oxugen = 31.4 / 16 m= 1.96 </span>
<span>Ratio 4.9 / 1.96 = 2.5 9.8 / 1.96 = 5.0 1.96 / 1.96 = 1 </span></span>

Simplest formula = C5H10<span>

Give the empirical formula for C↓8H↓8
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Empirical formula of  C₈H₈ =  CH

Explanation:

Data Given:

Molecular Formula = C₈H₈

Empirical Formula = ?

Solution

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

        C₈H₈ Consist of  Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)

Now

Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound

                         C : H

                         8 : 8

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H

                       8/8 : 8/8

                         1   :  1

So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of  C₈H₈ =  CH
