I will solve this question assuming the reaction equation look like this:
<span>MnO2 + 4 HCl ---> MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2 H2O.
</span>
For every one molecule of MnO2 used, there will be one molecule of Cl2 formed. If the molecular mass of MnO2 is 87g/mol and molecular mass of Cl2 is <span> 73.0 g/mol, the mass of MnO2 needed would be:
Cl mass/Cl molecular mass * MnO2 molecular mass=
25g/ (73g/mol) * (87g/mol) * 1/1= 29.8 grams</span>
Answer:
Option C= light is emitted as electron falls from the excited state to the ground state releasing a photon.
Explanation:
Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.
Electron:
The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
Symbol= e-
Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg
It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.
How electrons produce the colored light:
Excitation:
When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.
De-excitation:
When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.
Atomic number of an element correlates to the number of protons an atom of that element will have. An atom of this element would have 63 protons.
