Explain how astronomers use spectrographs to identify the composition of a star.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
4 0
Each element absorbs light at specific wavelengths unique to that atom. When astronomers look at an object's spectrum, they can determine its composition based on these wavelengths. The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy.
hope this helps you! :-)

Lithium reacts more slowly with cold water than sodium.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

1. Increase in the temperature of the water

2. Increasing the surface area of the lithium

Explanation:

1. Increase in the temperature of the water

The activation energy for the lithium water reaction is +161 kJ/mol while the activation energy for the sodium is +109 kJ/mol, hence for increased reaction rate, the water temperature will be raised to enable more lithium atoms enter into reaction with the water molecules as their energy is increased lowering the activation energy required for the reaction.

2. Increasing the surface area of the lithium

As the lithium floats on the water, due to its low temperature and the heat evolved from the reaction of lithium with the cold water is below the melting point of lithium, the reaction rate can be increased by increasing the surface area of lithium sample by grinding so as to increase the number of lithium water reaction sites.
