Explain why you usually can't use just a single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element

1 answer:

8 0

You can't usually just use a single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element because there are cases that the emission line id not clearly defined. When the emission line is very weak compared to surrounding noise, in which case the more datapoints you have to build up confidence for the existence of a particular emission spectra, the better.

You have just isolated a new radioactive element. If you can determine its half-life, you will win the Nobel Prize in physics. Y

Answer: 2.58 days

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = age of sample = 6 days

a = initial amount of the reactant = 1 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.2 g

a) to find the rate constant

$6=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}$

$k=\frac{2.303}{6}\log\frac{1.0}{0.2}$

$k=0.268days^{-1}$

b) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.268}=2.58days$

The half life is 2.58 days

SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?!?!

labwork [276]

Answer:

Determining the pH of substances such as purple grape juice and catsup using test strips can be difficult. Why?

Explanation:

Due to the tartaric acid present in these substances, this is a weak acid and is the predominant type of acid in grapes.

pH meters for these substances, measure the total acidity of the sample and convert it into tartaric acid concentration; The test strips are a qualitative method of measurement and their result can give different opinions.
