How was flame testing used

Chemistry
1 answer:
PIT_PIT [208]3 years ago
6 0
The flame test is commonly used to identify different metal ions by how they get excited in the presence of a flame.
Typically a nichrome wire is dipped in a solution of metal cations and then presented to a flame. The flame emits a different color than normal, depending on the type of metal cation. Each metal ion gets excited by the flame and as the electrons change energy levels they emit a photon of light, thus changing the color. Since each metal cation has unique energy levels, the colors differ depend on the metal cation.

I hope this helps.

2. Would you measure a pencil in meters? A hallway in millimeters? Discuss
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Measuring a pencil in meters would be very difficult, as a single meter is much longer than one pencil. Also, measuring a hallway in millimeters would be very difficult considering how small millimeters are in comparison to a hallway. However, if you switch these two then they would work very well.

A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has __________ protons, __________ neutrons, and __________ electrons.
MAXImum [283]
<span><em>Answer:</em>
A strontium-90 atom that has a lost two electrons has <u>38</u> protons, <u>52</u> neutrons, and <u>36</u> electrons.

<em>Explanation:
</em>Atomic number<em> of </em>Strontium (Sr) is 38. 
<em>Atomic number = number of protons 
</em>Hence, Strontium has 38 protons.

If the element is in neutral state,
                number of protons = number of electrons. 
Then, neutral Strontium atom should have 38 electrons. 
But the question says Sr has lost 2 electrons. Hence, number of electrons should be 38 - 2 = 36.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

The given mass number is 90. Hence, number of neutrons should be 90 - 38 = 52.</span>

Calculate the maximum volume in ml of 0.15M HCl that each of the following antacid formulations would be expected to neutralize.
vlada-n [284]

a. 34 mL; b. 110 mL

a. A tablet containing 150 Mg(OH)₂


Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl₂ + 2H₂O


<em>Moles of Mg(OH)₂</em> = 150 mg Mg(OH)₂ × [1 mmol Mg(OH)₂/58.32 mg Mg(OH)₂

= 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂


<em>Moles of HCl</em> = 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol Mg(OH)₂]

= 5.144 mmol HCl


Volume of HCl = 5.144 mmol HCl × (1 mmol HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 34 mL HCl


b. A tablet containing 850 mg CaCO₃


CaCO₃ + 2HCl ⟶ CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O


<em>Moles of CaCO₃</em> = 850 mg CaCO₃ × [1 mmol CaCO₃/100.09 mg CaCO₃

= 8.492 mmol CaCO₃


<em>Moles of HCl</em> = 8.492 mmol CaCO₃ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol CaCO₃]

= 16.98 mmol HCl


Volume of HCl = 16.98 mmol HCl × (1 mL HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 110 mL HCl
