Explanation:

Most pigments work by absorbing certain wavelengths of light. Other wavelengths are reflected or scattered, which cause you to see those colours. At the atomic level, certain wavelengths of light are of the correct energy to excite specific transitions of electrons in the molecules or the solid.

Determine whether each of the following is a strong acid, a weak acid, or a species with negligible acidity.Drag the appropriate

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

CH₃NH₃⁺ is a weak acid.

HPO₄²⁻ has a negligible acidity.

CH₄ has a negligible acidity.

HNO₂ is a weak acid.

Explanation:

There are 7 strong acids: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO₃, H₂SO₄, HClO₃, HClO₄. The rest of the acids are weak.

CH₃NH₃⁺ is a weak acid, according to the following equation:

CH₃NH₃⁺ ⇄ CH₃NH₂ + H⁺

HPO₄²⁻ can act as an acid or as a base:

<u>Acid reaction:</u> HPO₄²⁻ ⇄ PO₄³⁻ + H⁺

<u>Basic reaction:</u> HPO₄² + H₂O ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻ + OH⁻

Given Kb > Ka, HPO₄²⁻ has a negligible acidity.

CH₄ cannot release nor accept H⁺ so it has a negligible acidity.

HNO₂ is a weak acid, according to the following reaction:

HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + NO₂⁻

What is the empirical formula for a substance that contains 24.59% phosphorus and 75.41% fluorine by mass?

Murljashka [212]

In order to obtain the empirical formula, first divide each element by its molar mass which can be found in the periodic table. The answer in the first step would be the number of moles of each element. Then divide each element with the lowest number of moles obtained in the first step in this case Phosphorus had the lowest number of moles. Then round it up to the nearest whole number. The empirical formula then is Phosphorus pentafluoride or PF5.
