What is a property of a substance? why are properties important? Explain your answer

1 answer:

3 0

A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of a substance. It is important to know because it can help define what the substance is, because if it has certain characteristics than a certain element, it can be traced to a specific substance.

Could someone explain how they got this answer, explain step by step plz

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

6.018 amu

Explanation:

Let 6–Li be isotope A.

Let 7–Li be isotope B.

Let the abundance of 6–Li be A%

Let the abundance of 7–Li be B%

The following data were obtained from the question:

Atomic mass of isotope A (6–Li) =.?

Atomic mass of isotope B (7–Li ) = 7.015 amu.

Abundance of 7–Li (B%) = 92.58%

Abundance of 6–Li (A%) = 100 – B% = 100 – 92.58 = 7.42%

Atomic mass of Lithium = 6.941amu

The atomic mass of isotope A (6–Li) can be obtained as follow:

Atomic mass = [(Mass of A x A%)/100] + [(Mass of B x B%)/100]

6.941 = [(mass of A x 7.42)/100] + [(7.015x92.58)/100]

6.941 = [(mass of A x 7.42)/100] + 6.494487

(mass of A x 7.42)/100 = 6.941 – 6.494487

(mass of A x 7.42)/100 = 0.446513

Mass of A x 7.42 = 100 x 0.446513

Mass of A x 7.42 = 44.6513

Divide both side by 7.42

Mass of A = 44.6513 / 7.42

Mass of A = 6.018 amu

Therefore, the mass of 6–Li is 6.018 amu

The role of pigments both in capturing light energy and in converting it to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)

Explanation:

Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.

Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..

Heat energy is _____ when it moves from one room to another.

MArishka [77]

Hello,

Thanks for posting your question here on brainly.

There are 3 ways heat energy can move:<span> Radiation, conduction, and convection.
</span>
However, your answer to this is most likely conduction

hope this helps:)

please let me know if it's correct.

A change in which property of light will have no effect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

intensity

Explanation:

Intensity has no affect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs. The determining property is frequency and since frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, wavelength matters as well
