Answer:

Absorbs energy

Explanation:

As an electron in an atom moves from the ground state to the excited state, the electron absorbs energy.

Electrons moves around in permissible orbits around the nucleus of an atom.

An electron in a certain energy level has a definite amount of energy associated with it at that level.
When an electron in ground state absorbs energy, it moves to a higher energy level.
When an electron in excited state loses energy, it moves to a lower energy level.

The transition of electrons from one level to another involves loss or gain of energy.

One mole of ANY element contains the:

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1)The molar mass of an atom is simply the mass of one mole of identical atoms. However, most of the chemical elements are found on earth not as one isotope but as a mixture of isotopes, so the atoms of one element do not all have the same mass.

2)Equally important is the fact that one mole of a substance has a mass in grams numerically equal to the formula weight of that substance. Thus, one mole of an element has a mass in grams equal to the atomic weight of that element and contains 6.02 X 1023 atoms of the element.

Answer:

D) Ca(OH)₂ will not precipitate because Q < Ksp

Explanation:

Here we have first a chemical reaction in which Ca(OH)₂ is produced:

CaC₂(s) + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Ca(OH)₂ is slightly soluble, and depending on its concentration it may precipitate out of solution.

The solubility product constant for Ca(OH)₂ is:

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇆ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

and the reaction quotient Q:

Q = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

So by comparing Q with Ksp we will be able to determine if a precipitate will form.

From the stoichiometry of the reaction we know the number of moles of hydroxide produced, and since the volume is 1 L the molarity will also be known.

mol Ca(OH)₂ = mol CaC₂( reacted = 0.064 g / 64 g/mol = 0.001 mol Ca(OH)₂

the concentration of ions will be:

[Ca²⁺ ] = 0.001 mol / L 0.001 M

[OH⁻] = 2 x 0.001 M = 0.002 M ( From the coefficient 2 in the equilibrium)

Now we can calculate the reaction quotient.

Q= [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]² = 0.001 x (0.002)² = 4.0 x 10⁻⁹

Q < Ksp since 4.0 x 10⁻⁹ < 8.0 x 10⁻⁸

Therefore no precipitate will form.

The answer that matches is option D
