Who was the first scientist to propose that an object could emit only certain amounts of energy?

Answer:

  • Option <em>A), Planck.</em>

Explanation:

The first scientist to propose that an object could emit only certain amounts of energy was <em>Max Planck</em>.

Incandescent (very hot) objects emit different color of lights, i.e. different wavelengths, but by 1900 it was believed that the light (energy) was emitted in a continuous way.

Since the wave model did not explain the emission of such specific wavelengths, when the German physicist <em>Max Planck</em> (1858 - 1947) studied the light emitted by incandescent objects, he proposed that the objects (the matter) could gain or lose energy only in small specific amounts or packages of energy called quanta (plural of quantum).

Planck, later, established the mathematical relation between the energy  of a quantum of light with the frequency of such the radiation (light emitted). This is the formula:

  • E = hν.

Where, E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and ν is the frequency.

What is the percent composition of carbon in heptane c7h16
Gnom [1K]

Answer: the percent composition of carbon in heptane is 83.9%

Explanation:

<u>1) Atomic masses of the atoms:</u>

  • C: 12.01 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol

<u>2) Molar mass of heptane:</u>

  • C₇H₁₆: 7 × 12.01 g/mol + 16×1.008 g/mol = 100.2 g/mol

<u>3) Mass of carbon in one mole of heptane:</u>

  • C₇: 7 × 12.01 g/mol = 84.07 g/mol

<u>3) Percent composition of carbon:</u>

  • % = (mass in grams of C) / (mass in grams of C₇H₁₆) × 100 =

           = (84.07 g/ 100.2 g) × 100 = 83.9% ← answer

Hemoglobin (Hb) can be viewed as having two quaternary states, a low oxygen affinity state (T), and a high oxygen affinity state
natta225 [31]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The statements that are True are;

  • Upon binding a molecule of oxygen, Hb undergoes a conformational change that makes the binding of subsequent O2 molecules easier.
  • The conformational change induced in Hb upon binding oxygen is the result of a small movement (0.2 Å) of the iron cation in the center of heme.
  • Site-directed mutagenesis studies have indicated that the cooperativity of O2 binding in Hb is attributable to the movement of the F helix in Hb.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Hemoglobin is a key pigment in the blood that transports oxygen gas to all the tissues in the body. It is made up of two types of chains; that is two alpha chains and two beta chains.  
  • in its deoxygenated state hemoglobin has a low affinity for oxygen compared to myoglobin. When oxygen is bound to the first subunit of hemoglobin it leads to subtle changes to the quaternary structure of the protein. This in turn makes it easier for a subsequent molecule of oxygen to bind to the next subunit.

Describe what occurs to the particles of a substance when the substance melts. Explain why this occurs.
GuDViN [60]

Explanation:

As a substance melts, and goes from a solid to a liquid state, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, and the molecules move faster, and they separate further and further away from each other. The intermolecluar forces holding the molecules together become weaker
