What does it mean for the energy levels in an atom to be quantized? Describe how this affects where electrons can be found

1 answer:

3 0

When we describe the energy of a particle as quantized, we mean that only certain values of energy are allowed. ... In this case, whenever we measure the particle's energy, we will find one of those values. If the particle is measured to have 4 Joules of energy, we also know how much energy the particle can gain or lose. Quantized energy means that the electrons can possess only certain discrete energy values; values between those quantized values are not permitted

Answer: The substance is neutral

Explanation:

If you place red litmus paper into a basic substance, it turn's blue. When it comes in contact with an acidic or neutral substance, it doesn't change colour it remains red.

Blue litmus paper in acid turns red when placed in a basic or neutral solution it remains blue. From this it can be concluded that the solution is neutral.

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the solubility of each of the following compounds in moles per liter. Ignore any acid-base properties.

CaCO₃, Ksp = 8.7 × 10⁻⁹

Answer : The solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Explanation :

As we know that CaCO₃ dissociates to give $Ca^{2+}$ ion and $CO_3^{2-}$ ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]$

Let solubility of CaCO₃ be, 's'

$K_{sp}=(s)\times (s)$

$K_{sp}=s^2$

$8.7\times 10^{-9}=s^2$

$s=9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Therefore, the solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

What does the roman numeral stand for in copper(1) oxide should it not be copper(II) oxide

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The roman numeral in copper(I) oxide indicates that the oxidation number of copper in the compound is 1.

Explanation:

Roman numeral is used to indicate the oxidation number of an element in a compound.

The roman numeral in copper(I) oxide indicates that the oxidation number of copper in the compound is 1.

This can be seen from the following illustration:

copper(I) oxide => Cu₂O

Oxidation number of O = –2

Oxidation number of Cu₂O = 0

Oxidation number of Cu =?

Cu₂O = 0

2Cu + O = 0

2Cu – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

2Cu = 0 + 2

2Cu = 2

Divide both side by 2

Cu = 2/2

Cu = 1

Thus, we can see that the oxidation number of Cu in Cu₂O is 1. Hence the name of Cu₂O is copper(I) oxide indicating that the oxidation number of of copper (Cu) in the compound is 1.

For copper(II) oxide, we shall determine the oxidation number of Cu. This can be obtained as follow:

copper(II) oxide, CuO => CuO

Oxidation number of O = –2

Oxidation number of CuO = 0

Oxidation number of Cu =?

CuO = 0

Cu + O = 0

Cu – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 + 2

Cu = 2

Thus, the oxidation number of Cu in CuO is 2. Hence the name of CuO is copper(II) oxide indicating that the oxidation number of of copper (Cu) in the compound is 2.

From the above illustrations,

We can see that the roman numeral in both copper(I) oxide, Cu₂O and copper(II) oxide, CuO are different because the oxidation number of Cu in both cases are different.
