Answer:

Light is made up of wavelengths of light, and each wavelength is a particular colour. The colour we see is a result of which wavelengths are reflected back to our eyes. The visible spectrum showing the wavelengths of each of the component colours. The spectrum ranges from dark red at 700 nm to violet at 400 nm.The 'colour' of an object is the wavelengths of light that it reflects. This is determined by the arrangement of electrons in the atoms of that substance that will absorb and re-emit photons of particular energies according to complicated quantum laws.The reason that different waves of light appear to be different colors of light is because the color of a light wave depends on its wavelength. For example, the wavelength of blue light is about 450 nanometers, while the wavelength of red light is about 700 nanometers.

What are the smallest sub atomic structure

Anton [14]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

In an atom there would be three subatomic particles: Neutrons, electrons, protons. The smallest and lightest in terms of mass is electrons. This is because the nucleus is comprised of the protons and the neutrons, these have a greater mass than electrons as electrons has very little mass that can considered to be 0.

Given the chemical reaction: Hg2+(aq) + Cu(s) + Hg(s) + Cu2+(aq)

Pavel [41]

Answer: When the reaction reaches equilibrium, the cell potential will be 0.00 V

Explanation:

Equilibrium state is the state when reactants and products are present but the concentrations does not change with time.

The equilibrium is dynamic in nature and the reactions are continuous in nature. Rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction.

The standard emf of a cell is related to Gibbs free energy by following relation:

$\Delta G=-nFE^0$

The Gibbs free energy is related to equilibrium constant by following relation:

$\Delta G=-2.303RTlog K$

For equilibrium $\Delta G=0$

Thus $0=-nFE^0$

$E^0=0$

Thus When the reaction reaches equilibrium, the cell potential will be 0.00 V
