Answer:

Option C= light is emitted as electron falls from the excited state to the ground state releasing a photon.

Explanation:

Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

How electrons produce the colored light:

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

For each of the six biological polymers listed, indicate which of the properties apply. each polymer has multiple properties, an

maksim [4K]

1) Cellulose - extracellular location, glycosidic bond, β-linkage. Cellulose is polysaccharide composed of glucose linked with β-1,4 bons.
2) Messenger RNA - informational macromolecule, phosphodiester bridge, helical structure possible, synthesis requires a template. mRNA is nucleic acid, mRNA is translated into a polymer of amino acids.
3) Globular protein - peptide bond, helical structure possible, synthesis requires a template. Protein is composed of amino acid linked with peptide bond, secundary structure can be α-helix, gene expression.
4) Amylopectin - branched-chain polymer, glycosidic bond, helical structure possible. Amylopectin is subunit of starch, sugar with α-1,4 and α-1,6 glycosidic bonds.
5) DNA - informational macromolecule, phosphodiester bridge, helical structure possible, synthesis requires a template, nucleoside triphosphate. DNA is helical chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions.
6) Fibrous protein - peptide bond, helical structure possible. Protein is composed of amino acid linked with peptide bond

must calculate the theoretical yield and the average percent yield and average percent yeiled of MgO in the following problem.2M

SVEN [57.7K]

So,

Given the reaction:

The initial mass of Mg was 0.326, and, in the real experiment, we obtained 0.528 grams of MgO. Right?

Now, let's find the amount of MgO supposed to obtain according to the chemical equation:

Now, the amount that we were supposed to obtain, was 0.54g of MgO. (The result of mutiplying all the previous operations). This is the theoretical yield, what we obtained using the theory.

Now, as you discovered, the mass of MgO in the laboratory was 0.528g so that's the actual yield. This is, what you've found using the experimental process.

Finally, the percent yield can be found using the following equation:

And, we know both values, so let's just replace:
