Answer:
<em>The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels to a lower one</em>, the excess energy is emitted as a photon of light, with its wavelength dependent on the change in electron energy. This is why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength.
Explanation:
The solubility curve helps us to compare the solubility of difference substances at same temperature. It gives the idea that solubility changes with the temperature. The solubility curve helps us to predict which substance will crystalize out first from hot solution containing two or more solutes.
Answer:
The reactants are the substances that start the chemical reaction. The products are the substances that are produced in the chemical reaction.
Explanation:
Answer:
2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L
Explanation:
The equation for the equilibrium is
CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-
Ka = 4.9 × 10^-10
KaKb = Kw
4.9 × 10^-10 Kb = 1.00 × 10^-14
Kb = (1.00 × 10^-14)/(4.9 × 10^-10) = 2.05 × 10^-5
Now, we can set up an ICE table
CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-
I/(mol/L) 0.255 0 0
C/(mol/L) -x +x +x
E/(mol/L) 0.255 - x x x
Ka = x^2/(0.255 - x) = 2.05 × 10^-5
Check for negligibility
0.255/(2.05 × 10^-5) = 12 000 > 400. ∴ x ≪ 0.255
x^2 = 0.255(2.05 × 10^-5) = 5.20 × 10^-6
x = sqrt(5.20 × 10^-6) = 2.28 × 10^-3
[OH^-] = x mol/L = 2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L
