The wavelength is obtained as 122 nm. Option A

<h3>What is the wavelength?</h3>

We know that from the Bohr model of the atom, an electron can move from a higher energy level to a lower energy level or from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. This is the idea of energy quantization as put forward by Neill Bohr.

The wavelength can be obtained by the use of the formula;

1/λ = RH(1/n^2initial - 1/n^2 final)

λ = wavelength of the emitted light

RH = Rydberg's constant

n intial = initial energy level

nfinal = final energy level

Thus;

1/λ = 1.09 * 10^7(1/1^2 - 1/2^2)

1/λ = 1.09 * 10^7( 1 - 0.25)

λ = 122 nm

Potassium carbonate, K 2CO 3, sodium iodide, NaI, potassium bromide, KBr, methanol, CH 3OH, and ammonium chloride, NH 4Cl, are s

slava [35]

Answer:

Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃)

Explanation:

The compounds dissociate into ions in water, as follows:

K₂CO₃ → 2 K⁺ + CO₃⁻ ⇒ 3 dissolved particles per mole

NaI → Na⁺ + I⁻ ⇒ 2 dissolved particles per mole

KBr → K⁺ + Br⁻ ⇒ 2 dissolved particles per mole

CH₃OH → CH₃O⁻ + H⁺ ⇒ 2 dissolved particles per mole

NH₄Cl → NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻ ⇒ 2 dissolved particles per mole

Therefore, the largest number of dissolved particles per mole of dissolved solute is produced by potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃).

What is the percent yield of a reaction in which 51.5 g of tungsten(VI) oxide (WO3) reacts with excess hydrogen gas to produce m

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The percent yield of a reaction is 48.05%.

Explanation:

$WO_3+3H_2\rightarrow W+3H_2O$

Volume of water obtained from the reaction , V= 5.76 mL

Mass of water = m = Experimental yield of water

Density of water = d = 1.00 g/mL

$M=d\times V = 1.00 g/mL\times 5.76 mL=5.76 g$

Theoretical yield of water : T

Moles of tungsten(VI) oxide = $\frac{51.5 g}{232 g/mol}=0.2220 mol$

According to recation 1 mole of tungsten(VI) oxide gives 3 moles of water, then 0.2220 moles of tungsten(VI) oxide will give:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.2220 mol=0.6660 mol$

Mass of 0.6660 moles of water:

0.666 mol × 18 g/mol = 11.988 g

Theoretical yield of water : T = 11.988 g

To calculate the percentage yield of reaction , we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$=\frac{m}{T}\times 100=\frac{5.76 g}{11.988 g}\times 100=48.05\%$

The percent yield of a reaction is 48.05%.

Some volatile organic compounds can be detected by hydrogeologists in the field or labs because of the ______ emitted from the g

Vadim26 [7]

Volatile organic compounds can be detected by hydrogeologists in the field or labs because of the odor of the vapors emitted from the groundwater and/or soil samples.

<h3>What are volatile substances?</h3>

Volatile substances are substances which can easily vaporize or change to gaseous state.

Volatile substances can either be solids or liquids but are mostly liquids.

Example of volatile substances include ether, petrol, chocolate.

The presence of volatile substances can be detected by the gases they release which may have characteristic odors.

Therefore, volatile organic compounds can be detected by hydrogeologists in the field or labs because of the odor of the vapors emitted from the groundwater and/or soil samples.

Which element in period 4 has the highest electronegativity

vova2212 [387]

<span>Electronegativity is the property of an element that measures the ability of it to attract and form electron bonds. The trend in the periodic table in terms of electronegativity decreases from right to left and from top to bottom. In the case of period 4, the element with the highest electronegativity is bromine. </span>

Which statement is always true of the cathode in an electrochemical cell? Reduction occurs here. It is considered the "negative"

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.
