Describe how to do a flame test on a sample of a salt

Chemistry

Katen [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Hope this helps!

Explanation:

You can use a flame test to help identify the composition of a sample. The test is used to identify metal ions (and certain other ions) based on the characteristic emission spectrum of the elements. The test is performed by dipping a wire or wooden splint into a sample solution or coating it with the powdered metal salt. The color of a gas flame is observed as the sample is heated. If a wooden splint is used, it's necessary to wave the sample through the flame to avoid setting the wood on fire. The color of the flame is compared against the flame colors known to be associated with the metals.

Describe the experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom.
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

  • Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
  • Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
  • A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

ozzi

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the statement of the equilibrium law:

Kp=\frac{P_{CO_2}^{EQ}}{P_{CO}^{EQ}}

By increasing (doubling) the amount of carbon monoxide, the production of nickel will increase since its amount is directly proportional with its pressure, so, by adding more reactant (in this case carbon monoxide), the equilibrium is rightward shifted based on Le Châtelier's principle even when solid either reactants or products are not contemplated in the equilibrium law.

Best regards.
