The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. Today, this process uses instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum.
I hope this helps.
P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = 720 mmHg
V1 = 450. mL
P2 = 760 mmHg (this is the pressure at STP)
Use these to solve for V2:
(720)(450) = 760V2
V2 = 426 mL
D. The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element. Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell. So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.
THE KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY STATES THAT ALL PARTICLES OF AN IDEAL GAS ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION AND EXHIBITS PERFECT ELASTIC COLLISIONS.
Explanation:
An ideal gas is an imaginary gas whose behavior perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory. In reality, gases are not ideal, but are very close to being so under most everyday conditions.
The kinetic-molecular theory as it applies to gases has five basic assumptions.
- Gases consist of very large numbers of tiny spherical particles that are far apart from one another compared to their size.
- Gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions.
- Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are elastic collisions.
- The average kinetic energy of gas particles is dependent upon the temperature of the gas.
- There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles.
