Answer:

When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. ... The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

Answer:

Due to difference in the electronic energy level of atoms in different metals.

Explanation:

The subatomic particles are protons, electrons and neutrons.

When we talk about colors, the subatomic particle involved is electron.

An atom of a metal absorbs light and in this process the electrons gets exited (gain energy) and when they come back to ground state they emit light and thus the color appears.

In case of different metals the energy required for excitation of electrons is different (due to difference in the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals and difference in effective nuclear charge), thus the electrons in different metal atoms absorb light of different of wavelengths and end up in appearance of different colors.

2. Which of the following expressions is generally used for solubility? (1 point)
miskamm [114]

<u>Answer:</u>

For 2: The correct answer is grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent.

For 3: The correct answer is supersaturated.

For 4: the correct answer is the solubility decreases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 2:</u>

Solubility is defined as the property which refers to the ability of the solute that can be dissolved in a solvent. It is defined as the number of grams of  solute per 100 grams of solvent.

  • <u>For 3:</u>

Unsaturated solution is defined as the solution in which amount of solute that is dissolved in the solvent is less.

Saturated solution is defined as the solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent.

Emulsion is defined as the dispersion of one liquid in another liquid in which it is not soluble.

Supersaturated solution is defined as the solution in which solvent contains more amount of solute than the required amount. These solutions help in the process of crystallization.

When a crystal is added to a <u>supersaturated solution</u>, more and more particles come out of the solution and this process is known as crystallization.

  • <u>For 4:</u>

According to the Henry's Law

The solubility of the gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.

\text{Solubility of a gas in a liquid}\propto \text{Partial pressure of the gas}

With increase in the partial pressure, the solubility of the gas in liquid also increases and vice-versa.

Hence, the correct answer is the solubility decreases.
