The energy for the transition:

The energy for the transfer of an electron from the n=2 level to the n=5 level of a hydrogen atom is 4.57 x $10^{-19}$ J

Calculation:

We are aware of the energy levels as n=2 and n=5. So, we may determine the wavelength of the photon released by the electron during this transition using Rydberg's equation:

1/λ = R x (1/ $n^{2}$ $_{final}$ - 1/ $n^{2} _{initial}$ )

where,

1/λ = the wavelength of the emitted photon,

R = Rydberg's constant, 1.0974 x $10^{7} m^{-1}$

$n_{final}$ = the final energy level = 5

$n_{initial}$ = the initial energy level = 2

Now, put the value in the above equation, we get,

1/λ = 1.0974 x $10^{7} m^{-1}$ x ( 1/ $5^{2}$ - 1/ $2^{2}$ )

1/λ = 1.0974 x $10^{7}$ $m^{-1}$ x (-0.21)

1/λ = -0.23 x $10^{7}$ $m^{-1}$

λ = 4.347 x $10^{-7}$ m

Since, E = hc/λ

where,

h = Plank's constant = 6.626 x $10^{-34}$ Js

c = speed of light = 3 x $10^{8}$ m/s

So, the transition energy for your particular transition is,

E = 6.626 x $10^{-34}$ x 3 x $10^{8}$ / (4.347 x $10^{-7}$ )

E = 4.57 x $10^{-19}$ J

What is the sign of the heat change for an exothermic reaction? for an endothermic reaction?

Julli [10]

A system that releases heat to the surroundings, an exothermic reaction, has a negative ΔH by convention, because the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reactants of the system. The enthalpies of these reactions are less than zero, and are therefore exothermic reactions

An amino acid is usually more soluble in aqueous solvent at pH extremes than it is at a pH near the isolelectric point of the am

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Option B. At pH extremes, the amino acid molecules mostly carry a net charge, thus increasing their solubility in polar solvent.

C. At very low or very high pH, the amino acid molecules have increased charge, thus form more salt bonds with water solvent molecules.

Be sure to answer all parts. Express the rate of reaction in terms of the change in concentration of each of the reactants and p

Tanzania [10]

Answer : The [H] is increasing at the rate of 0.36 mol/L.s

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

$2D(g)+3E(g)+F(g)\rightarrow 2G(g)+H(g)$

The expression for rate of reaction :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }D=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }E=-\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[E]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }F=-\frac{d[F]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of }G=+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[G]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of }H=+\frac{d[H]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of reaction}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[D]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[E]}{dt}=-\frac{d[F]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[G]}{dt}=+\frac{d[H]}{dt}$

Given:

$-\frac{d[D]}{dt}=0.18mol/L.s$

As,

$-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[D]}{dt}=+\frac{d[H]}{dt}=0.18mol/L.s$

and,

$+\frac{d[H]}{dt}=2\times 0.18mol/L.s$

$+\frac{d[H]}{dt}=0.36mol/L.s$

Thus, the [H] is increasing at the rate of 0.36 mol/L.s

Which list best represents the flow of stimuli information in the body?

Vlad1618 [11]

The flow of stimuli information in the body is from the receptors to sensory neuron (afferent neurons) to the interneurons then to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) then is carried of by the motor neurons (efferent neurons) to the mucles involve.

Sensation to transduction to perception. Sensation is the ambiguous information which is received by the receptors or sensory organ henceforth, transduction occurs in the nerve cell protruding to the brain and is now called perception as the vague stimuli is interpreted and processed to be understood then is responded with the proper and apt response or reaction.
