What is quanta (keep it very simple)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
5 0
<span>Quanta are described as discrete packets of energy because it requires a certain amount of energy (not just any amount of energy that is continuous) to excite electrons from one state to another.

We observe a distant object in space and see that the spectral lines for hydrogen in the object's light appear at a shorter wave
MrMuchimi

Answer:

This tells us the radial velocity of the object and that the object is approaching or coming towards us.

Explanation:

Certain chemicals radiate with particular wavelengths or colors  when their temperature is raised or when they are charged electrically. Also observable are dark strokes separating the spectrum known as absorption lines

These spectral lines of chemicals are well known as stated above and from the phenomenon of Doppler effect, spectroscopy can be used to detect the movement of a distant object by the change of the emitted frequency of the wavelength

The Doppler effect is used in calculating the radial velocity of a distant object due to the fact that an approaching object compresses its emitted signal wavelength while a receding object has a longer wavelength than normal

2.50 g of Zn is added to 5.00 g of HCl
Debora [2.8K]
Zn+2HCl ----> 2ZnCl2 + H2

For 2.50 g of Zn

Mass per mol = 2.50/molar mass of Zn = 2.50/65.38 = 0.0382 g/mol
There are two moles of ZnCl2 and total mass = 2*0.0382*molar mass of ZnCl2 = 2*0.0382*136.286 = 10.42 g

For 2 g of HCl

Mass per mol = 2/2*molar mass of HCl = 2/ (2*36.46) = 0.0274 g/mol
For the two moles of ZnCl2, mass produced = 2*0.0274*136.286 = 7.48 g

It can be noted that 2 g of HCl produced less amount of ZnCl and thus it is the limiting reagent.
