Answer:

The spectra of the Sun and stars exhibited bright and dark lines called Fraunhofer lines. These were shown to be caused by elements emitting or absorbing light at specific wavelengths. Because each element emits or absorbs light only at specific wavelengths, the chemical composition of stars can be determined.

Can someone help Plz
Marrrta [24]

Answer: A. 1.60 liters

Explanation:

2Na_2O_2+2CO_2\rightarrow 2Na_2CO_3+O_2

As can be seen from the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of CO_2 produce 1 mole of O_2.

According to Avogadro's law, every 1 mole of the gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP.

Thus 2 moles of CO_2 occupies 22.4\times 2=44.8L at STP and produce 1 mole of O_2 i.e. 22.4 L

44.8 L of CO_2 will produce 22.4 L of O_2

Thus 3.20L of CO_2 will produce \frac{22.4}{44.8}\times 3.20=1.60L

In the SI system of units, the mole is one of seven base units. It is frequently used in chemical calculations. However, a mole
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer

Do you think that the mole should be considered a base unit in the SI system?

The mole is not a base unit on a par with the six property base units; it cannot be used in significant physical–chemical comparisons until the subscript parameter p in mole-of-Ep has been given a certain “value”."
