What is plasma and where can you find it

Plasmas are a common part of the world we live in. The definition of plasma allows them to exist within an environment consisting mostly of bound atoms.

A variety of human technology creates plasmas. The type I hear plasma researchers reference most is a simple RF Plasma. This is perhaps the most direct way to use electricity to shake off the electrons from their atoms within a confined volume by using fast oscillating electromagnetic fields.

Nature also creates plasma. An Aurora is certainly included. Many less "exotic" plasma states are much more common. A fire has a low population of the ionized species, but is still a plasma.

See Wikipedia for a list of available plasmas over there..! Or have a look below for the chart which shows variation of temperature and electron density in different plasmas..!

Plasmas

A quick Googling would've provided the answer. Common examples include

Lightning..!

The Sun (from Core to Corona)

Fluorescent Lights and Neon Signs

Nebulae (Luminous Clouds in Space)

The Solar Wind

Primordial Fusion during the evolution of the Universe

Magnetic Confinement Fusion Plasmas

Inertially Confined Fusion Plasmas

Flames as Plasmas

Auroras (Northern & Southern Lights)

Interstellar Space (It's not empty... It's a plasma)

Quasars, Radiogalaxies, and Galaxies (Emit plasma radiation and microwaves)

Large Scale Structures of Galaxies (Filamentary and magnetized..!)

Dense Solid State Matter (When shocked by nuclear explosion or earthquakes which emit both visible light and radio waves)

Plasmas are a lot like gases, they are made up of free electrons and ions of an element such as neon (Ne). You don't find naturally occurring plasmas too often when you walk around. They aren't things that happen regularly on Earth.

First, get about 20 mL of the quinine stock solution in a clean beaker to prepare 250 mL of about 2 ppm quinine in 0.05 M H2SO4.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Volume of acid, Va=250mL; Volume of quinine,Vb=20mL; Molarity of acid, Ma=0.05M.

Molar mass of acid= H2+S+O4= 2+32+(16X4)= 2+32+64=98g

Concentration of acid, Ca= Molar mass of acid/ Ma =98/0.05=1960g/mol

Explanation: To calculate concentration of quinine, Cb is as follow

Va*Ca=Vb*Cb

∴ Cb=Va*Ca/Vb =250*1960/20 =24500g/mol

What is the percent yield of LiCl if I produced 30.85g LiCl and my theoretical yield was calculated to be 35.40g LiCl?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

87.15%

Explanation:

To find percent yield, we can use this simple equation

\frac{Actual}{Theoretical} *100

Where "Actual" is the amount in grams actually collected from the reaction, and "Theoretical" is, well, the theoretical amount that should have been produced.

They give us these values, so to find the percent yield, just plug the numbers in.

\frac{30.85}{35.40} *100\\\\ =87.15

So, the percent yield is 87.15%

An easy trick to remember how to do this is just to divide the smaller number by the bigger number and move the decimal back two places. If you have a percent yield greater than 100%, something is wrong in the reaction.

What is the smallest particle representing water?
horrorfan [7]
Water is a compound that is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, therefore the smallest particle of water is water molecule. The smallest particle representing water is written as H2O. H2O is the smallest unit to which water can be split while still retaining the properties of water.
