Chemistry
1 answer:
miv72 [106K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Electrons on atoms have different amounts of energy proportional to the distance of their orbital from the nucleus. So in the flame, electrons get excited and pushed to higher energy levels by the heat energy. When they fall back down, they give off photons of light of different colors, based upon how far they fall.

Calculate the density of helium if a balloon with a capacity of 5.00 L holds 0.890 g.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Density is m/V. Also, 1 liter = 1000 cm^3. So, we get 0.890/(5*1000) = 1.78*10^{-4} g/cm^3. You can convert this to kg/m^3 as well by multiplying it by 10. Depends which one you want.
