Energy levels are the electron shells where electrons are found at a fixed distance from the nucleus of the atom. The atom could emit 6 different wavelengths.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

A wavelength is a distance between the adjacent crests in wave signals propagated in a system. Wavelength (\rm \lambda ) is in inverse relation to the frequency of the wave.

When an electron jumps from energy level 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 1 to 4 one wavelength each is present. Hence, making the total wavelength to be 3, in transition from the first energy level.

Similarly, from energy levels, 2 to 3 and 2 to 4, a total of 2 wavelengths, and from energy levels 3 to 4 one wavelength is produced.

So the total different wavelengths of the radiation that can be emitted will be 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.

Therefore, 6 different wavelengths of radiation will be emitted by the atom.

A gas of unknown identity diffuses at a rate of 155 mL/s in a diffusion apparatus in which carbon dioxide diffuses at the rate o
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

19.07 g mol^-1

Explanation:

The computation of the molecular mass of the unknown gas is shown below:

As we know that

\frac{Diffusion\ rate\ of unknown\ gas }{CO_{2}\ diffusion\ rate} = \frac{\sqrt{CO_{2\ molar\ mass}} }{\sqrt{Unknown\ gas\ molercular\ mass } }

where,

Diffusion rate of unknown gas = 155 mL/s

CO_2 diffusion rate = 102 mL/s

CO_2 molar mass = 44 g mol^-1

Unknown gas molercualr mass = M_unknown

Now placing these values to the above formula

\frac{155mL/s}{102mL/s} = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ 1.519 = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}} }{\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{\sqrt{44 g mol^{-1}}}{1.519} \\\\ {\sqrt{M_{unknown}} } = \frac{44 g mol^{-1}}{(1.519)^{2}}

After solving this, the molecular mass of the unknown gas is

= 19.07 g mol^-1

SiCl4 + H2O = H4SiO4 + HCl
vichka [17]

Hey there!

Balance the equation:

SiCl₄ + H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + HCl

Balance H.

2 on the left, 5 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O and a coefficient of 2 in front of HCl.

SiCl₄ + 3H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl  

Balance O.

3 on the left, 4 on the right. Change the coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O to a 4.

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl  

This unbalanced our H, so change the coefficient of 2 in front of HCl to a 4.

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl  

Balance Cl.

4 on the left, 4 on the right. Already balanced.

Balance Si.

1 on the left, 1 on the right. Already balanced.

Our final balanced equation:

SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl

Hope this helps!
