During absorption, frequency of the incoming light wave is either near or at the energy level of the electrons in the matter of the material. The electrons will absorb the energy of the light wave and change their energy state.

Hope that helps! :)

Answer:

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Explanation:

1) Given data:

Mass of water = 23.0 g

Initial temperature = 25.4°C

Final temperature = 42.8° C

Heat absorbed = ?

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

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = 42.8°C - 25.4°C

ΔT = 17.4°C

Q = 23.0 g ×  × 4.18 J/g°C × 17.4°C

Q = 1672.84 j

2) Given data:

Mass of metal = 120.7 g

Initial temperature = 90.5°C

Final temperature = 25.7 ° C

Heat released = 7020 J

Specific heat capacity of metal = ?

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 = 25.7°C - 90.5°C

ΔT = -64.8°C

7020 J = 120.7 g ×  c ×  -64.8°C

7020 J = -7821.36 g.°C ×  c

c = 7020 J / -7821.36 g.°C

c = 0.898 J/g.°C

Negative sign shows heat is released.

How many molecules of CF₂Cl₂ are in 45.7 grams of CF₂Cl₂? (Show work)
posledela

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 2.20 x 10 ²³ molecules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 45.7 g

molecules of CF₂Cl₂ = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the mass number of CF₂Cl₂

   C = 12    F =2 x 19    Cl = 2 x 35.5

   total = 12 + 38 + 71

   total = 121 g

2.- Use the Avogradro's number to solve the problem

                       121 g -------------------  6.023 x 10²³ molecules of CF₂Cl₂

                        45.7 g ---------------     x

                        x = (45.7 x 6.023 x 10²³) / 121

                        x = 2.75 x 10²⁵ / 121

                        x = 2.20 x 10 ²³ molecules

What is oxidized in a galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes ?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Aluminum metal

Explanation:

In order to properly answer this or a similar question, we need to know some basic rules about galvanic cells and standard reduction potentials.

First of all, your strategy would be to find a trusted source or the table of standard reduction potentials. You would then need to find the half-equations for aluminum and gold reduction:

Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al; E^o=-1.66 V

Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V

Since we have a galvanic cell, the overall reaction is spontaneous. A spontaneous reaction indicates that the overall cell potential should be positive.

Since one half-equation should be an oxidation reaction (oxidation is loss of electrons) and one should be a reduction reaction (reduction is gain of electrons), one of these should be reversed.

Thinking simply, if the overall cell potential would be obtained by adding the two potentials, in order to acquite a positive number in the sum of potentials, we may only reverse the half-equation of aluminum (this would change the sign of E to positive):Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-; E^o=1.66 V\\Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V

Notice that the overall cell potential upon summing is:

E_{cell}=1.66 V + 1.50 V=3.16 V

Meaning we obey the law of galvanic cells.

Since oxidation is loss of electrons, notice that the loss of electrons takes place in the half-equation of aluminum: solid aluminum electrode loses 3 electrons to become aluminum cation.

Describe the difference between the terms “element”, “compound”, “molecule”, and “salt”.
myrzilka [38]
You can define an element as a substance with only one type of atom in (e.g. only sulphur atoms). If a substance has more than one type of atom in, then it is either a compound or a mixture, depending on whether the elements have bonded. Examples of elements are:

Oxygen
Sulphur
Carbon
Hydrogen
Protactinium


Compound-
A substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bounds.
Molecule- a pure substance that cannot be broken down
Salt- A Ionic Compound Formed From The Reaction Of An Acid And Base .
