We've figured out what part of the salt causes the flame to change color, so now let's measure the wavelengths created with four metals. Use the ruler under the "tools" icon in the upper right of the video player to measure the wavelengths of light released by each compound.

Fill in the table below with the wavelengths emitted in each trial.

Some trials may have lots of background light present, just record the center-point of the bright lines.

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)

Achemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. he carefully weighs out of oxalic acid , a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in of distilled water. the student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with his sodium hydroxide solution. when the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds he has used of sodium hydroxide solution.calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Which answer tells the reason the earth’s climate is getting warmer? too many animals are becoming extinct. large glaciers are melting in antarctica. the earth is moving closer to the sun. driving cars gives off gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.
