Which reason best explains why metals are shiny?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago
5 0

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

Aerosol cans have a label that warns the user not to use them above a certain temperature and not to dispose of them by incinera
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

1.40 atm

Explanation:

To answer this question we can use<em> Gay-Lussac's law</em>, which states:

  • P₁T₂=P₂T₁

When volume and number of moles remain constant.

  • P₁ = 1.11 atm
  • T₁ = 23°C ⇒ 23+273.16 = 296.16 K
  • T₂ = Boiling point of water = 100 °C ⇒ 100+273.16 = 373.16 K
  • P₂ = ?

We <u>put the known data in the equation and solve for P₂</u>:

  • 1.11 atm * 373.16 K = P₂ * 296.16 K
  • P₂ = 1.40 atm

Hospital patients are administered oxygen from an pressurized
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

32000atm

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law equation;

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

V1 = initial volume (

V2 = final volume (L)

According to the question below:

P1 = 160.0 atm

P2 = 3.0 atm

V1 = 600L

V2 = ?

Using P1V1 = P2V2

160 × 600 = 3 × V2

96000 = 3V2

V2 = 96000/3

V2 = 32000atm

The oxidation state of phosphorus is +3 in
IgorC [24]

Answer:

b) Phosphorus acid

Explanation:

To distinguish the type of acid of phosphorus with the oxidation state of +3, we need to be familiar with the chemical formula of each of the compounds:

    Orthophosphoric acid             H₃PO₄

    Phosphorus acid                       H₃PO₃

    Metaphosphoric acid               HPO₃

    Phyrophosphoric acid​               H₄P₂O₇

Now that we know the formula of the given compounds, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero:

Only phosphorus acid yielded an oxidation state of +3 for phosphorus in the compound.

  H₃PO₃:

   we know the oxidation state of H = +1

                                                          O = -2

         The oxidation state of P is unknown. We can express this as an equation:

                3(+1) + P + 3(-2) = 0

                    3 + P -6 = 0

                          P-3 = 0

                          P = +3
