What would you predict is worse based on your knowledge of quantum theory - a weak beam of ultraviolet light, or an intense beam

of infrared light?

Answer : Amongst the given choices a weak beam of ultraviolet light is considered to be the worst as compared to others.

The wavelength of UV light is from 10 nm to 400 nm, and its energy varies from 3 eV to 124 eV.

As a single beam of UV light will have much energy in each photon which is emitted. The damage done by UV rays is observed to be very harmful in human cells and may cause many diseases. UV rays can also damage the eyes as more than 99% of UV radiation is absorbed by the front of the eyes. It can also lead to ultimate blindness. Therefore, it is considered to be much worse than an intense beam of infrared light.

Which characteristic might identify a substance as an Arrhenius acid?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Historically, the first chemical definition of an acid and a base was put forward by Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist, in 1884. An Arrhenius acid is a compound that increases the H+ion concentration in aqueous solution. The H+ ion is just a bare proton, and it is rather clear that bare protons are not floating around in an aqueous solution. Instead, chemistry has defined the hydronium ion(H3O+) as the actual chemical species that represents an H+ion. H+ ions and H3O+ ions are often considered interchangeable when writing chemical equations (although a properly balanced chemical equation should also include the additional H2O). Classic Arrhenius acids can be considered ionic compounds in which H+ is the cation. Table 12.1 "Some Arrhenius Acids"lists some Arrhenius acids and their names.

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as a substance that ________. A Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as a substance that ________. in
Anestetic [448]

Answer: A Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as a substance that acts as a proton donor.

Explanation:

A substance that is able to donate a proton or hydrogen ion to another substance is a Bronsted-Lowry acid.

For example, HCl is a Bronsted-Lowry acid as it dissociates to give a hydrogen ion.

HCl \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + Cl^{-}

Thus, we can conclude that a Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as a substance that acts as a proton donor.

bija089 [108]

Answer: B or C

Explanation: The question does not include the variable or steps Brian is using so either one could be correct. It has to be the one that he is controlling though. This is because a control group is used to rule out any alternate explanations. Therefore the answer should be the one that he is trying to test out.
