Electrons are orbiting around the nucleus in a specific energy level as described in Bohr's atomic model. There are 7 energy levels all in all; 1 being the strongest and nearest to the nucleus, and 7 being the weakest and farthest away from the nucleus. Electron can transfer from one energy level to another. If it increases energy, it absorbs energy. If it goes down an energy level, it emits energy in the form of light. This light can be measure in wavelength through the Rydberg equation:

1/λ =R(1/n₁² -1/n₂²), where
λ is the wavelength
R is the Rydberg constant equal to 1.097 × 10⁻7<span> per meter
n</span>₁ and n₂ are the energy levels such that n₂>n₁

In the Paschen series is an emission spectrum of hydrogen when the energy level is at least n=4. So, this covers n=4 to n=7.

1/λ =(1.097 × 10⁻7)(1/4² -1/7²)
λ  = 216.57 ×10⁻⁶ m or 216.57 μm

What is the percent by volume of isopropyl alcohol in a solution that contains 45 ml of isopropyl alcohol in 1.4 L of water?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

3.11%

Explanation:

We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1400 mL of water+ 45 mL of IPA,

and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:    45/(1400+45) *100 = 0.0311*100 =  3.11%

Clouds form when water vapor _____ to form small droplets. A. humidifies B. condenses C. evaporates D. precipitates
PtichkaEL [24]

Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water. Condensation generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and looses its capacity to hold water vapor. As a result, excess water vapor condenses to form cloud droplets.

What are two factors that can affect salinity?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

precipitation and evaporation

Explanation:

salinity :salt concentration

Precipitation: this brings freshwater into the ocean which are not salty, so it is diluting its salt concentration.

evaporation: takes all the water and leaves the salt behind
