Determining the composition of stars is one way that light emission has been used to determine the chemical composition of an object. light emission is still used today by researchers. it is harnessed in instrumentation such as flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. provide an explanation of how this instrument works as if you are describing it to your non-science roommate. also, provide at least two uses of such an instrument.

Steam reforming of methane ( ch4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas, which is the starting point for many important industrial chemical syntheses. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 1.5 l flask with 3.5 atm of methane gas and 1.3 atm of water vapor at 43.0°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of carbon monoxide gas to be 1 .0 atm. calculate the pressure equilibrium constant for the steam reforming of methane at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
