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

Chemistry
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Please help I need the answer now. Write a balanced equation for combustion of pentane in plenty supply of air and in limited su
Ratling [72]

Pentane burns in plenty of air: CO₂ and H₂O is produced.

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Pentane burns in limited amount of air: CO or even C is produced along with H₂O.

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Pentane is a hydrocarbon. There are five carbon atoms in each of its molecule. Its molecular formula will be C₅H₁₂.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce CO₂ when there's plenty of air.

? C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

  • Among all species in this reaction, C₅H₁₂ has the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of C₅H₁₂ is one.

<em>1</em> C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → ? CO₂ + ? H₂O

  • C₅H₁₂ is the only <em>reactant</em> that contains C atoms. There are 5 C atoms in a C₅H₁₂ molecule. There should be the same number of C atoms in the products.
  • CO₂ is the only <em>product</em> that contains C atoms. There are one C atom in each CO₂ molecule. 5 C atoms correspond to 5 CO₂ molecules.

<em>1 </em>C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → <em>5</em> CO₂ + ? H₂O

  • Similarly, C₅H₁₂ is the only <em>reactant</em> that contains H atoms. H₂O is the only <em>product</em> that contains H atoms. There are 12 H atoms in one C₅H₁₂ molecule, which corresponds to 6 H₂O molecules.

<em>1</em> C₅H₁₂ + ? O₂ → <em>5</em> CO₂ + <em>6</em> H₂O

  • Both CO₂ and H₂O are <em>products</em> that contains O atoms. There are 5 × 2 + 6 × 1 = 16 O atoms in total in 5 CO₂ molecules and 6 H₂O molecules. The 16 O atoms on the <em>product</em> side corresponds to 8 O₂ molecules on the reactant side.

<em>1</em> C₅H₁₂ + <em>8</em> O₂ → <em>5</em> CO₂ + <em>6</em> H₂O

1 C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

  • All coefficients shall be whole numbers. If there's any fraction in this equation, multiply both sides by the least common multiple of their denominators.

Hydrocarbon fuels burn to produce H₂O and CO when there's a limited supply of air. C (soot) might also be produced. Assuming that only CO is produced. Try to balance the equation using the same method.

1 C₅H₁₂ + 11/2 O₂ → 5 CO + 6 H₂O

2 C₅H₁₂ + 11 O₂ → 10 CO + 12 H₂O

Less O₂ is consumed for each mole of C₅H₁₂.

Consider: What would be the balanced equation when only C is produced?

Which molecule or reaction supplies the energy for polymerization of nucleotides in the process of transcription?
Sindrei [870]

Answer to this is "the phosphate bonds that are present in the nucleotide triphosphate serves as the substrates" in the process of transcription.

Transcription is the process in which DNA is transformed into RNA with the help of an enzyme known as RNA-polymerase. RNA and DNA are the nucleic acids which are formed by linking the nucleotides together.

BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT
otez555 [7]
In a food chain, energy is passed through one link to another. When a herbivore eats only a certain fraction of the energy, (which comes from the food) it becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore in order to carry out its life processes (ex. movement, digestion, reproduction). It doesn’t necessarily threaten the plants survival, there’s also a benefit. When a animals poops out the fruit (defecate) in another area those seeds get carried to new places with the help of a dab of fertilizer and a little bit of moisture. They also help supply nutrients when they die and decompose.
