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.

Why is the finance charge important to consider when shopping for credit?
IRISSAK [1]
The correct option is C.
Finance charge on credit card refers to the interest you pay for borrowing money when you are using a credit card. It is the interest you are charged on the debts you owe and sometimes it might include other charges such as penalty fees for late payment. Individual finance charge is usually calculated using the the person APR [Annual Percentage Rate], amount of debt owe and the time period been considered. The higher your debts, the higher your finance charge.

Determine if each statement below is True or False regarding Arrhenius and Br∅nsted-Lowry definitions for acids and bases.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

All statements are true

Explanation:

Arrhenius theory:-

The Arrhenius theory was introduced introduced by Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius in 1887.

According to the theory, acids are the substances which dissociate in the aqueous medium to produce electrically charged atoms ( may be molecule). Out of these species furnished, one must be a proton or the hydrogen ion, H^+.

Hence, statement 1 is correct.

Bronsted-Lowry base is the specie which accepts the proton form the medium. For example, Benzoate ion is the conjugate base of the benzoic acid. It is a Bronsted-Lowry base and the dissociation of benzoate ion can be shown as:-

C_6H_5COO^-_{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons C_6H_5COOH_{(aq)} + OH^-_{(aq)}

Hence, statement 2 is correct.

Acetic acid will dissociate as:-

CH_3COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H^+

Hence, statement 3 is also correct.

A man heats a balloon in the oven. If the balloon initially has a volume of 0.4 liters and a temperature of 20 degrees celsius,
Airida [17]

Answer:

0.714 liter.

Explanation:

Given:

The balloon initially has a volume of 0.4 liters and a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

It is heated to a temperature of 250 degrees Celsius.

Question asked:

What will be the volume of the balloon after he heats it to a temperature of 250 degrees Celsius ?

Solution:

By using:

PV=nRT

Assuming pressure as constant,

V∝ T

Now, let  K is the constant.

V = KT

Let initial volume of balloon , V_{1} = 0.4 liter

1000 liter = 1 meter cube

1 liter = \frac{1}{1000} m^{3} = 10^{-3} m^{3

0.4 liter = 0.4\times10^{-3}=4\times10^{-4} m^{3}

And initial temperature of balloon, T_{1} = 20°C = (273 + 20)K

                                                                          = 293 K

Let the final volume of balloon is V_{2}

And a given, final temperature of balloon, T_{2} is 250°C = (273 + 250)K

                                                                                          = 523 K

Now, V_{1} = KT_{1}

          4\times10^{-4}=K\times293\ (equation\ 1 )

V_{2} = KT_{2}

    =K\times523\ (equation 2)

Dividing equation 1 and 2,

 \frac{4\times10^{-4}}{V_{2} } =\frac{K\times293}{K\times523}

K cancelled by K.

By cross multiplication:

293V_{2} =4\times10^{-4} \times523\\V_{2} =\frac{ 4\times10^{-4} \times523\\}{293} \\          = \frac{2092\times10^{-4}}{293} \\          =7.14\times10^{-4}m^{3}

Now convert it into liter with the help of calculation done above.

7.14\times10^{-4} \times1000\\7.14\times10^{-4} \times10^{3} \\0.714\ liter

Therefore, the volume of the balloon be after he heats it to a temperature of 250 degrees Celsius is 0.714 liter.

Calculate OH- given H3 O+ = 1.40 *10^-4 M
vova2212 [387]

3.16 X 10^-11 M is the [OH-] concentration when H3O+ = 1.40 *10^-4 M.

Explanation:

data given:

H30+= 1.40 X 10^-4 M\

Henderson Hasslebalch equation to calculate pH=

pH = -log10(H30+)

putting the values in the equation:

pH = -log 10(1.40 X 10^-4 M)

pH = 3.85

pH + pOH =14

pOH = 14 - 3.85

pOH = 10.15

The OH- concentration from the pOH by the equation:

pOH = -log10[OH-]

10.5= -log10[OH-]

[OH-] = 10^-10.5

[OH-]  = 3.16 X 10^-11 is the concentration of OH ions when hydronium ion concentration is 1.40 *10^-4 M.
