The atom<span> then has more protons than electrons and so it will be positively charged, a positive </span>ion<span>. Example: A </span>magnesium atom<span> may lose two electrons and </span>become<span> a Mg2+ </span>ion<span>. Non-metal </span>atoms<span> may gain electrons and </span>become<span> negatively charged. ... (It loses two electrons.)</span>

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The wavelength the student should use is 700 nm.

Explanation:

Attached below you can find the diagram I found for this question elsewhere.

Because the idea is to minimize the interference of the Co⁺²(aq) species, we should <u>choose a wavelength in which its absorbance is minimum</u>.

At 400 nm Co⁺²(aq) shows no absorbance, however neither does Cu⁺²(aq). While at 700 nm Co⁺²(aq) shows no absorbance and Cu⁺²(aq) does.

Entropy means that _________.A. the quantity of usable energy declines with each transformationB. energy can be neither created
son4ous [18]

Answer:

answer A

Explanation:

A) the quantity of usable energy declines with each transformation → True . Since the entropy increases , the amount of energy that can not be converted to useful energy increases and since the total amount of energy is conserved, the quantity of useful energy decreases.

B) energy can be neither created nor destroyed → False in the context of entropy , since the energy is conserved regardless of the changes in entropy (First law → conservation of energy vs second law → increase of entropy)

C)  life should be impossible → False . Since the second law states that the entropy of the <u>universe </u>increases with time . Then the system (life) can experience a decrease in entropy  at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)

D) it is not possible to observe an increase in molecular organisation → False . Same as C. A system  can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)
