Why do electrons gain energy?

Chemistry

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.

<u>☁️</u><u>My Answer☁️:</u>

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

A sample of 19 mg of 9-fluorenone is dissolved in 5 mL of diethyl ether. The resulting organic
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

15.70mg would remain

Explanation:

Partition coefficient is used to extract or purify a solute from a solvent selectively to avoid interference from other substances. For the problem, formula is:

Kp = Concentration 9-fluorenone in ether / Concentration of solute in H₂O

After the solute, 9-fluorenone, is extracted with water, the mass that remains in ether is:

(19mg - X)

<em>Where X is the mass that now is in the aqueous phase</em>

Replacing in Kp formula:

9.5 = (19mg - X) / 5mL / (X /10mL)

0.95X = 19mg - X / 5mL

4.75X = 19 - X

5.75X = 19

X = 19 / 5.75

X = 3.30mg

That means 9-fluorenone that remain in the ether layer is:

19mg - 3.30mg =

<h3>15.70mg would remain</h3>

lukranit [14]

Answer:

It reads as follows: 0.5 moles of solute per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Molarity is the most frequent way of expressing the concentration of solutions in chemistry, and it indicates the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution; is represented by the letter M.
