What causes metal to emit light?​

Chemistry

Flauer [41]3 years ago

Heating an atom excites its electrons and they jump to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to lower energy levels, they emit energy in the form of light. ... Every element has a different number of electrons and a different set of energy levels. Thus, each element emits its own set of colours.

How many molecules of CO2 at standard temperature and pressure in 5.4 moles of CO2
olganol [36]

Answer:

3.25×10²⁴ molecules.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole of CO₂ = 5.4 moles

Number of molecules of CO₂ =?

The number of molecules of CO₂ in 5.4 moles can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of CO₂ = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

5.4 moles of CO₂ = 5.4 × 6.02×10²³

5.4 moles of CO₂ = 3.25×10²⁴ molecules

Thus, 5.4 moles of CO₂ contains 3.25×10²⁴ molecules.

What type of elements make up an ionic compound
xenn [34]

Answer:

Those that “prefer” A charge; the Halogens and Chalcogens are good examples - Halogen MEANS salt forming, and even organic compounds can form salts; look up “tropylium ion”.

42.9 liters of hydrogen are collected over water at 76.0 °C and has a pressure of 294 kPa. What would the pressure (in kPa) of t
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

494.1 kPa

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (kPa)

P2 = final pressure (kPa)

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question,

P1 = 294 kPa

P2 = ?

V1 = 42.9 liters

V2 = 22.8 liters

T1 = 76.0°C = 76 + 273 = 349K

T2 = 38.7°C = 38.7 + 273 = 311.7K

294 × 42.9/349 = P2 × 22.8/311.7

12612.6/349 = 22.8 P2/311.7

36.14 = 22.8P2/311.7

Cross multiply

36.14 × 311.7 = 22.8P2

11264.605 = 22.8P2

P2 = 11264.605 ÷ 22.8

P2 = 494.1 kPa
