Answer:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume. The diameter of an atom is on the order of 10−10 m, whereas the diameter of the nucleus is roughly 10−15 m—about 100,000 times smaller.

This is because protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons as opposed to where electrons occupy most of an atoms volume

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: E = R_y/n^2 In this equation R_y stands

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron for the given energy levels is $5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

Explanation:

Given :

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula:

$E=\frac{R_y}{n^2}$

$R_y=2.18\times 10^{-18} J$ = Rydberg energy

n = principal quantum number of the orbital

Energy of 11th orbit = $E_{11}$

$E_{11}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-18} J}{11^2}=1.80\times 10^{-20} J$

Energy of 10th orbit = $E_{10}$

$E_{10}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-18} J}{10^2}=2.18\times 10^{-20} J$

Energy difference between both the levels will corresponds to the energy of the wavelength of the line which can be calculated by using Planck's equation.

$E'=E_{10}-E_{11}=2.18\times 10^{-20} J-1.80\times 10^{-20} J$

$=E'=0.38\times 10^{-20} J$

$\lambda =\frac{hc}{E'}$ (Planck's' equation)

$\lambda = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{0.38\times 10^{-20} J}$

$\lambda = 5.2310\times 10^{-5} m\approx 5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

The wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron for the given energy levels is $5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

According to the rate law, how do concentrations affect rate?

IrinaK [193]

D, the rate increases as concentrations increase.

Typically, reaction rates decrease with time because reactant concentrations decrease as reactions are converted to products. Reaction rates generally increase when reactant concentrations are increased.
