Answer:

Because each element has an exactly defined line emission spectrum, scientists are able to identify them by the color of flame they produce. For example, copper produces a blue flame, lithium, and strontium a red flame, calcium an orange flame, sodium a yellow flame, and barium a green flame. When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. ... The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colors. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum

Why does knowing the mass of an object not help you identify what material the object is made from?
jeka57 [31]
Because mass is not always the same for objects made from the same material. Just because an object has the same mass as another doesn’t mean they are the same material.

The specific heat capacity of a certain type of cooking oil is 1.75 J/(g⋅∘C). What is the amount of heat exchanged when the temp
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Q = -811440 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oil = 2.76 Kg (2.76× 1000 = 2760 g)

Initial temperature = 191 °C

Final temperature = 23°C

Specific heat capacity of oil = 1.75 J/g.°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 23°C - 191 °C

ΔT = -168°C

Q = 2760 g ×1.75 J/g.°C  ×-168°C

Q = -811440 J

Negative sign show heat is released.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IONIC AND COLAVENT COMPOUNDS
Fudgin [204]

Answer: In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, whereas in ionic bonds atoms transfer electrons. The reaction components of covalent bonds are electrically neutral, whereas for ionic bonds they are both charged. ... Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals, whereas ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal.
