In a typical fireworks device, the heat of the reaction between a strong oxidizing agent, such as KClO₄, and an organic compound
excites certain salts, which emit specific colors. Strontium salts have an intense emission at 641 nm, and barium salts have one at 493 nm. (a) What colors do these emissions produce? (b) What is the energy (in kJ) of these emissions for 5.00 g each of the chloride salts of Sr and Ba? (Assume that all the heat released is converted to light emitted.)

Explanation:
The reaction expression is given as;
2H₂ + O₂
→ 2H₂O
From the balance reaction expression:
2 mole of hydrogen gas combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas on the reactant side;
This produces 2 mole of water on the product side of the expression.
The product is in liquid form.
This reaction is a synthesis reaction because a single product is formed from two reactants.
The claim: "If the nucleus were the size of a grape, the electrons would be one mile away on average" is reasonably accurate because the ratios between the nucleus's sizes and the distances (between electrons and nucleus) for the two given examples are in the same order of magnitude.
To know if the claim is accurate we need to calculate the ratio of the size of the nucleus (the same as a grape) and the distance between the electrons and the nucleus for example 1 (r₁):
(1)
and to compare it with the ratio of the size and the distance given in example 2 (r₂):
(2)
<em>Where:</em>
s₁: is the size of the nucleus (like the size of a grape)
d₁: is the distance between electrons and nucleus of example 1 = 1 mile
s₂: is the average diameter of the nucleus = 10⁻¹³ cm
d₂: is the average distance between electrons and nucleus of example 2 = 10⁻⁸ cm
Assuming that the diameter of a grape is 3 cm (in a spherical way), the ratio of the <u>first example</u> is (eq 1):
Now, the ratio of the <u>second example</u> is (eq 2):
Since r₁ and r₂ are in the same order of magnitude (10⁻⁵), we can conclude that the given claim is reasonably accurate.
