Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we supply energy to an electron then due to the absorption of energy it tends to move from a lower energy level to higher energy level.

And, when this electron moves from higher energy level to lower energy level then excess of energy absorbed by it is released in the form of visible light or radiation.

This emission of energy is also responsible for imparting color to a compound.

Thus, we can conclude that when an electron loses its energy then it may drop to a lower energy level.

Answer:

electron loses energy (falls back) from a higher energy state to a lower one emitting photons at different frequencies for different energy transitions.

Through what process do all stars produce their energy?

Deffense [45]

nuclear fusion

Stars produce their energy through nuclear fusion. For most stars, this process is dominated by a process called the "proton-proton chain," a sequence of events that transforms four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom.

. Determine the standard free energy change, ɔ(G p for the formation of S2−(aq) given that the ɔ(G p for Ag+(aq) and Ag2S(s) are

olga nikolaevna [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard free energy change of formation of $S^{2-}(aq.)$ is 92.094 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

$K_{sp}\text{ of }Ag_2S=8\times 10^{-51}$

Relation between standard Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant follows:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = ?

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = $25^oC=[273+25]K=298K$

K = equilibrium constant or solubility product = $8\times 10^{-51}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/K.mol)\times 298K\times \ln (8\times 10^{-51})\\\\\Delta G^o=285793.9J/mol=285.794kJ$

For the given chemical equation:

$Ag_2S(s)\rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+(aq.)+S^{2-}(aq.)$

The equation used to calculate Gibbs free change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(reactant)}]$

The equation for the Gibbs free energy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta G^o_f_{(Ag^+(aq.))})+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(Ag_2S(s))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta G^o_f_{(Ag_2S(s))}=-39.5kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{(Ag^+(aq.))}=77.1kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o=285.794kJ$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$285.794=[(2\times 77.1)+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))})]-[(1\times (-39.5))]\\\\\Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))=92.094J/mol$

Hence, the standard free energy change of formation of $S^{2-}(aq.)$ is 92.094 kJ/mol
