Answer:

Best:

because their valence electrons absorb light

Minor:

because their valence electrons move to higher energy levels

Explanation:

When the electrons absorb light, they absorb this energy and they have a tedency to jump and get promoted to the high energy level.

As a result, they release out energy after being promoted. This energy is in form of light

Low pH = high acidity.
HF has a very low pH, so when added to a solution, it will lower the pH of the solution and therefore make it more acidic. So the answer should be B.

At a certain temperature this reaction follows second-order kinetics with a rate constant of 14.1·M−1s−1 : →2SO3g+2SO2gO2g Suppo

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

$[SO_3]=0.25M$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the integrated rate law for a second-order reaction is:

$[SO_3]=\frac{[SO_3]_0}{1+kt[SO_3]_0}$

Thus, we plug in the initial concentration, rate constant and elapsed time to obtain:

$[SO_3]=\frac{1.44M}{1+14.1M^{-1}s^{-1}*0.240s*1.44M}\\\\$

$[SO_3]=0.25M$

Best regards!
