Why do electrons gain energy?

2 answers:

8 0

Electrons can gain the energy it needs by absorbing light. If the electron jumps from the second energy level down to the first energy level, it must give off some energy by emitting light. The atom absorbs or emits light in discrete packets called photons, and each photon has a definite energy.

☁️My Answer☁️:

Atomic electrons lose / gain energy when transferring from one orbital to another and hence emitting / absorbing a photon. Free electrons (by which I mean electrons that are not part of an atom) lose or gain energy by scattering inelastic ally with atoms or molecules. In this case, energy is transferred to / from the atom or molecule from / to the electron in the form of kinetic energy

What is the purpose of the plasma membrane

Murljashka [212]

The plasma membrane is the boundary between the cell and its environment. It regulates what enters and exits the cell. Cells must maintain an appropriate amount of molecules to function inside them. They must also have a way to keep things out or to allow things to enter.

if you want to see how the water molecules are split inside the thylakoid space, how many membranes would you have to cross to g

Feliz [49]

Answer:

4 biological membranes.

Explanation:

So in total, your water molecule has to go through your cell membrane, reach the outer membrane of your chloroplast and then through the inner membrane, and then lastly, it has to go through your thylakoid membrane to reach its final destination of the illumine. So in total 4 biological membranes.

1.20 x 10^22 molecules NaOH to gram

Trava [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.797 \ g \ NaOH}}$

Explanation:

1. Convert Molecules to Moles

First, we must convert molecules to moles using Avogadro's Number: 6.022*10²³. This tells us the number of particles in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are molecules of sodium hydroxide.

$\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ molecules \ NaOH} {1 \ mol \ NaOH}}$

Multiply by the given number of molecules.

$1.20*10^{22} \ molecules \ NaOH *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ molecules \ NaOH} {1 \ mol \ NaOH}}$

Flip the fraction so the molecules cancel out.

$1.20*10^{22} \ molecules \ NaOH *\frac {1 \ mol \ NaOH} {6.022*10^{23} \ molecules \ NaOH}}$

$1.20*10^{22} *\frac {1 \ mol \ NaOH} {6.022*10^{23}}}$

$\frac {1.20*10^{22} \ mol \ NaOH} {6.022*10^{23}}}$

$0.0199269345732 \ mol \ NaOH$

2. Convert Moles to Grams

Next, we convert moles to grams using the molar mass.

We must calculate the molar mass using the values on the Periodic Table. Look up each individual element.

Na: 22.9897693 g/mol
O: 15.999 g/mol
H: 1.008 g/mol

Since the formula has no subscripts, we can simply add the molar masses.

NaOH: 22.9897693+15.999+1.008=39.9967693 g/mol

Use this as a ratio.

$\frac {39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH }{1 \ mol \ NaOH}$

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

$0.0199269345732 \ mol \ NaOH*\frac {39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH }{1 \ mol \ NaOH}$

The moles of sodium hydroxide cancel.

$0.0199269345732 *\frac {39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH }{1}$

$0.0199269345732 *39.9967693 \ g \ NaOH$

$0.79701300498 \ g \ NaOH$

The original measurement of molecules has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place. The 0 tells us to leave the 7 in the hundredth place.

$0.797 \ g \ NaOH$

1.20*10²² molecules of sodium hydroxide is approximately 0.797 grams.
