Which scenario BEST describes how an atom produces light?

Chemistry

Answer:

electron loses energy as it transitions to lower energy level

Explanation:

An atom is capable of absorbing and releasing electrons. The atom of a substance is said to be at its GROUND LEVEL STATE when it contains the lowest energy level. However, when it absorbs or takes in energy, it moves to a high energy level called EXCITED STATE. This level is unstable and hence, subject to declination.

Due to the instability of the excited state of an atom, it tends to lose the absorbed electrons and in the process of doing so, it emits or produce light. Therefore, according to this question, light is produced by an atom when the electron loses energy as it transitions to lower energy level i.e excited state to ground level state.

29. A certain nut crunch cereal contains 11.0 grams of sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) per serving size of 60.0 grams. How many servi
adoni [48]

Answer:

The answer is: 51.8 g (86% of serving size)

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we have to first determine the number of moles there are in 11.0 g of sucrose. Sucrose has a molecular weight of 342 g (we calculate this from the molar mass of the elements : 12 x 12 g/mol C + 22 x 1 g/mol H + 11 x 16 g/mol O). So, we divide the mass (11.0 g) into the molecular weight of sucrose:

11.0 g sucrose x 1 mol/342 g sucrose= 0.032 mol

We have 0.032 mol of sucrose in a serving of 60 g. But we need less moles (0.0278 mol):

0.032 mol ------------ 60 g serving

0.0278 mol------------ x= 0.0278 mol x 60 g serving/0.032 mol

                                x= 51.8 g

So,  lesser than 1 serving of 60 g must be eaten to consume 0.0278 mol os sucrose. Exactly, 51.8 g (which stands for a 86% of the serving size).

olasank [31]

Answer:

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 695.2 mmHg

Explanation:

Given:

Water temperature = 22°C

Pressure inside the tube = 715 mmHg

Find:

Pressure of hydrogen gas

Computation:

Using vapor pressure of water table

Water pressure at 22°C = 19.8 mmHg

Pressure inside the tube = Pressure of hydrogen gas + Water pressure at 22°C

715 = Pressure of hydrogen gas + 19.8

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 715 - 19.8

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 695.2 mmHg

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Carbon=5, hydrogen=12, oxygen=16

Explanation:

Carbon=5, hydrogen=12, oxygen=16

In order to effectively count the number of atoms, we look at the equation closely and take note of the stoichiometric coefficients of each reactant as this influences the number of atoms of that element present.

For instance, oxygen is diatomic and has a stoichiometric coefficient of 8. This implies the there are sixteen atoms of oxygen altogether.

Note that the left hand side refers to the reactants side.
