Answer:

HDL absorbs cholesterol and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Which subatomic particle gives off visible light when it drops back down to a lower energy state?
icang [17]

Answer:

Option C = electron

Explanation:

Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

How electrons produce the colored light:

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Other process may involve,

Fluorescence:

In fluorescence the energy is absorbed by the electron having shorter wavelength and high energy usually of U.V region. The process of absorbing the light occur in a very short period of time i.e. 10 ∧-15 sec. During the fluorescence the spin of electron not changed.

The electron is then de-excited by emitting the light in visible and IR region. This process of de-excitation occur in a time period of 10∧-9 sec.

Phosphorescence:

In phosphorescence the electron also goes to the excitation to the higher level by absorbing the U.V radiations. In case of Phosphorescence the transition back to the lower energy level occur very slowly and the spin pf electron also change.

At the candy store, gourmet jelly beans sell for $1.15 per ounce. There are 28 students in Alfred's class. If each student eats
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Total cost = $40.25 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Per ounce = $1.15

Number of student = 28

Each student eat = 0.035 kg

Find:

Total cost

Computation:

Total weight of candy = 28 × 0.035 kg

Total weight of candy = 0.98 kg

1 ounce = 0.028 kg (approx).

Total weight of candy = 0.98 kg / 0.028

Total weight of candy = 35 ounce (Approx)

Total cost = 35 × $1.15

Total cost = $40.25 (Approx)

Looking at the car in the picture above, explain how the electrons act to form this compound that is on the surface of the car,
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Iron and oxygen act as Fe3+ and O2− ions respectively, forming rust (Fe₂O₃) in the presence of water by the formation of an ionic bond".

Explanation:

Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water (either if the iron is submerged or exposed to moisture in the air), forming the chemical compound Fe₂O₃. The presence of water is needed for rust formation because iron and oxygen act as ions when they are exposed to water, particularly Fe3+ and O2− ions respectively. The bond formed between these two elements are ionic bonds, because it is comprised of the reaction between a metal (iron) and a non-metal (oxygen).

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of nickel in a 1.0 M nickel(II) ion solution and another electrode c
Andre45 [30]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard potential of the cell is 0.77 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

We know that:

E^o_{Ni^{2+}/Ni}=-0.25V\\E^o_{Cu^{+}/Cu}=0.52V

The substance having highest positive E^o reduction potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

The half reaction follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> Ni(s)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> Cu^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)       ( × 2)

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

Putting values in above equation follows:

E^o_{cell}=0.52-(-0.25)=0.77V

Hence, the standard potential of the cell is 0.77 V
