Describe the cause of atomic emission spectrum of an element

Chemistry
1 answer:
AnnZ [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The de-exitation of electron to its lower energy level cause the emission spectrum of an element.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

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.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

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. These radiations gives the emission spectrum of that element. 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 .

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between gas particles?
saw5 [17]
Answer:
             There is more space between gas particles than the size of the particles.

Explanation:
                   This scenario can be understand by taking a very simple example. As we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupy 22.4 liters of volume. Lets take Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas, 1 mole of each gas will occupy same volume. Why it is so? Why same volume although Oxygen is 16 times more heavier? This is because the space between gas molecules is very large. Approximately the distance between gas molecules is 300 times greater than their own diameter from its neighbor molecules.

Explain ionization suppressants as applied to atomic spectrometry
levacccp [35]

An ionization suppressor is an alkali metal capable of preventing ionization, which can be used in atomic spectroscopy to determine matter composition.

<h3>What is ionization?</h3>

Ionization refers to the phenomena capable of converting neutral atoms/molecules to electrically charged atoms/ions.

Ionization is a process by which radiation (e.g., alpha, beta, gamma rays) can pass energy to inert matter.

Some examples of ionization suppressors include salts of alkali metals (for example, potassium), which can be used in atomic spectroscopy to determine matter composition.

How much potassium chloride is needed to make 0.500 m solution with 1.50 L of water?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

55.9 g KCl.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of molality for the 0.500-molar solution, we need to divide the moles of solute (potassium chloride) over the kilograms of solvent as shown below:

m=\frac{mol}{kilograms}

Thus, solving for the moles of solute, we obtain:

mol=m*kilograms

Since the density of water is 1 kg/L, we obtain the following moles:

mol=0.500mol/kg*1.50kg\\\\mol=0.75mol

Next, since the molar mass of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol, the mass would be:

0.75mol*\frac{74.5513g}{1mol}\\\\55.9g \ KCl

Regards!
