Answer:a quantum absorption of energy

Explanation:

Bohr’s model explains the spectral lines .While the electron of the atom remains in the ground state, its energy is unchanged. When the atom absorbs one or more quanta of energy, the electron moves from the ground state orbit to an excited state and when the atom relaxes back to a lower energy state, it releases energy that is again equal to the difference in energy of the two orbits.

Answer:

A quantum release of energy as electrons drop back to their ground state.

Explanation:

An atom of an element is said to be in its ground state when its electron is in the lowest energy orbit or shell of n=1.

However, when the electron absorbs energy it gets excited and jumps from this lower energy level to a higher energy level. Depending on the amount of energy absorbed, different energy orbits can be reached.

Also, in that excited state, the electron can lose energy and drop from orbit to orbit. This energy released is in discrete packets called quantum ( plural quanta ) and, using a spectrometer, can be observed as different lines, called the atomic line spectra, depending on the orbit the electron is dropping from.

A quantum of energy is given by:

E = hv = hc/

Where h = Planck's constant = 6.62 x 10-27 ergsec, c = velocity of light = 3 x 1010 cm/sec, v = frequency of the quantum energy emitted or absorbed in sec-1, = wavelength in cm.

There are 5 series of the atomic spectra in various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum for n = 1,2,3,4,5 respectively as, Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett, Pfund.

Lithium and nitrogen react in a combination reaction to produce lithium nitride: 6Li(s) + N2(g) → 2Li3N(s) How many moles of lit
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

12.5 g of Li are needed in order toproduce 0.60 moles of Li₃N

Explanation:

The reaction is:

6Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2Li₃N(s)

If nitrogen is in excess, the lithium is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:6

2 moles of nitride were produced by 6 moles of Li

Then, 0.6 moles of nitride were produced by (0.6 .6)/ 2 = 1.8 moles of Li

Let's convert the moles to mass → 1.8 mol . 6.94 g/ 1mol = 12.5 g of Li

• How did your experimental absolute zero value compare to the accepted value?
Murrr4er [49]

The experimental absolute zero value is less when compared to the accepted value of absolute zero.

<h3>What is absolute zero?</h3>

Absolute zero is defined as the temperature in which the lowest energy possible is attained in a thermodynamic system.

Absolute zero temperature has an accepted values of 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.

At absolute zero, it is assumed that the volume of an ideal gas becomes zero. However, it has not been possible to cool any gas to absolute zero.

Based on the graph of temperature against volume of gases, the experimental absolute zero extrapolated from the graph where volume of the gases becomes zero is -285 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, the experimental absolute zero value is less when compared to the accepted value.

A 4,000 mL solution of AgNO3 contains 17.00 g of solute in water. Calculate the molar concentration of the solution.
blsea [12.9K]
The molarity is moles/liters.

First, convert 4,000 mL to L:

4000 mL --> 4 L

Now, you must convert the 17 g of solute to moles by dividing the number of grams by the molar mass. The molar mass of AgNO3 is <span>169.87 g/mol:

17 / 169.87 = .1

Now that you have both the number of moles and the liters, plug them into the initial equation of moles/liters:

.1/4 = .025</span>

Answer:

First and last sentence .‍♀️

Explanation:

An important thing to keep in mind about the Reading Comprehension section of the GRE as we use PowerPrep online to study is that it is just that—reading comprehension. In other words, as difficult as it may seem, and it can be pretty tricky, the test makers will always give us all the information we need in the passage to answer the question.

What can you summarize about the use of acid-base indicators?
densk [106]

An acid-base indicator is used to identify the presence of an acid or base. These indicators exhibit different colors depending on the solution that they are in. They are especially useful when completing titrations to determine the molarity of an unknown substance and is denoted as option D.

<h3>What is Titration?</h3>

This is done in the laboratory and involves the slow addition of one solution of a known concentration to a known volume of another solution of unknown concentration.

Acid-base indicators are used to determine the presence of an acid or base in a solution which is based on the colors seen when performing the chemical reaction.

It is used to calculate the the molarity of an unknown substance through the knowledge of the other parameters which is therefore the reason why option D was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
