1. What did Henri Becquerel discover about radiation emitted from uranium salts?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

When Henri Becquerel investigated the newly discovered X-rays in 1896, it led to studies of how uranium salts are affected by light. By accident, he discovered that uranium salts spontaneously emit a penetrating radiation that can be registered on a photographic plate.

____________ heat is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C, and it is related to
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

specific heat.

Explanation:

Definition:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree is called specific heat.

Formula:

Q = m. c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat required

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

The substance with greater value of specific heat require more heat to raise the temperature while the substance with lower value will raise its temperature very quickly by absorbing smaller heat.

For example the beach sand gets hot very quickly because of lower specific heat of sand while water is colder than sand because of higher specific heat capacity.

vesna_86 [32]

The characteristics flame test color of metal ions are because of the atomic emission spectra.  

When an atom absorbs a particular wavelength radiation, the electrons within it, move from lower energy level to the higher level of energy. Such a procedure is called absorption. When this stimulated electron to come back to its ground state, it loses energy in particular color on the basis of the frequency of the absorbed radiation. Such a procedure is called emission.  

As an atom exhibit, distinct levels of energy, the level close to the nucleus possess less energy in comparison to the level, which is far from the nucleus. So, electrons move from lower energy level to the higher level by attaining particular energy, and after excitation, it comes back from high energy level to a low energy level with the emission of light.  

According to Planck's concept, there is a specific difference of energy between the two energy level, so such energy difference is quantized. Only those radiation are absorbed, which are equivalent to the difference of energy between the two levels.

ycow [4]

Answer:

They also showed the effects of pressure on volume if temperature stayed the same

Explanation:

They also showed the effects of pressure on volume if temperature stayed the same is the experiment that will provide an evidence for Boyle's law.

Boyle's law states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".

  • The law is an affirmation of what happens when there is a dynamics between pressure and volume if temperature is made constant.
  • So the experiment designed to investigate this proves and shows Boyle's law.

Based on the kinetic molecular theory, which of the following statements is correct about a sample of gas at a constant temperat
Scilla [17]

Answer:

C) It has a constant average kinetic energy

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas, according to the equation.

k is the Boltzmann's constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas

Therefore, temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

In this problem, we are told that the gas is at constant temperature (and volume): therefore, according to the previous equation, this means that the average kinetic energy is also constant.
