Answer:

It isn't only for the eating habits but also for building nests, hunting small insects, birds, other creatures including defence. Birds have a narrow small throat so the beak helps ripping off small peices of a big animal l(small bird) and for insects they crush and swallow it, they se their beak for feeding their children by grinding food in their beak and transferring it to the youngsters mouth

Using the Bohr model, determine the energy, in joules, necessary to ionize a ground-state hydrogen atom. Show your calculations.

lord [1]

Answer:

The energy required to ionize the ground-state hydrogen atom is 2.18 x 10^-18 J or 13.6 eV.

Explanation:

To find the energy required to ionize ground-state hydrogen atom first we calculate the wavelength of photon required for this operation.

It is given by Bohr's Theory as:

1/λ = Rh (1/n1² - 1/n2²)

where,

λ = wavelength of photon

n1 = initial state = 1 (ground-state of hydrogen)

n2 = final state = ∞ (since, electron goes far away from atom after ionization)

Rh = Rhydberg's Constant = 1.097 x 10^7 /m

Therefore,

1/λ = (1.097 x 10^7 /m)(1/1² - 1/∞²)

λ = 9.115 x 10^-8 m = 91.15 nm

Now, for energy (E) we know that:

E = hc/λ

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10^-34 J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Therefore,

E = (6.625 x 10^-34 J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)/(9.115 x 10^-8 m)

E = 2.18 x 10^-18 J

E = (2.18 x 10^-18 J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10^-19 J)

E = 13.6 eV

If you leave a glass of water and ice on the kitchen counter long enough, after a while you will have just a glass of water. why

irakobra [83]

The heat of the water is shared with the ice and there for you drink will get cold but your ice will melt away from the heat going in the ice

Explain what happens to substances during a chemical change

Free_Kalibri [48]

In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change.

pharmacokinetics

This question is simply a matter of knowing the definition of terms being used in your class. So let's look at the 4 options and see what makes sense. spectrometry * This is the determination of elements based upon the light spectrum associated with the elements. It can be either an emission spectrum you get by energizing the substance under test, or an absorption spectrum to see what wavelengths the substance absorbs. But in either case, this doesn't make sense in the statement, so it's a wrong answer. LD50 * This terms means "Lethal Dose 50%" which is the amount of the substance needed such that half of the creatures that receive that dose die. In the context of the statement, this doesn't make sense, so it's a wrong answer. pharmacokinetics * This is the study of how drugs move through the body and are metabolized. This sounds like something that makes sense for the statement in the question, so it's most likely the correct answer. Let's see what the next choice is. chromatography * This is a laboratory method of separating substances using differential rates of diffusion. This doesn't make sense given the statement in the question, so it's a wrong choice. So of the 4 available choices, 3 of them do not make sense given the statement in question and the only one that does make sense is "pharmacokinetics"
