The decreasing order of wavelengths of the photons emitted or absorbed by the H atom is : b → c → a → d

Rydberg's formula :

                                   \frac{1}{\lambda} = R_h (\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} ),

where  λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from n_1 to n_2 and R_h = 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here n_1 and  n_2 represents the transitions.

(a) n_1 =2 to n_2 = infinity

            \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2}  ) = 109677/4     [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore, \lambda = 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m

(b) n_1=4 to  n_2 = 20

           \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{20^2}  ) = 6580.62

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 / 6580.62 = 0.000152 m

(c) n_1=3 to  n_2 = 10

          \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{10^2}  ) = 11089.56

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 / 11089.56 = 0.00009 m

(d)  n_1=2 to  n_2 = 1

          \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1^2}  ) = - 82257.75

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 /82257.75  = - 0.0000121 m  

[Even though there is a negative sign, the magnitude is only considered because the sign denotes that energy is emitted.]

So the decreasing order of wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted is b → c → a → d.

A hypothetical element x has 3 naturally occurring isotopes: 41.20% of 21x, with an atomic weight of 21.016 amu, 50.12% of 22x,
iogann1982 [59]
The average atomic weight is calculated by adding up the products of the percentage abundance and atomic weight. In this item, we have the equation,

     A = (0.412)(21.016 amu) + (0.5012)(21.942 amu) + (0.0868)(23.974 amu)

Simplifying the operation will give us the answer of 21.74 amu.

<em>Answer: 21.74 amu</em>

exis [7]

Answer:

The flame will burn out

Explanation:

The oxygen will be kept out of the jar, without oxygen the flame cannot last long. The flame will eventually burn out. Nitrogen gas has no role to play in the burning. Nitrogen slows down the burning rate.

A particular experiment requires 13.5 µl hydrochloric acid solution. if 250 ml hydrochloric acid solution is available, how many
ladessa [460]
The amount of HCl required for one experiment - 13.5 µl 
the volume in terms of L - 13.5 x 10⁻⁶ L
the volume of HCl available - 0.250 L 
since one experiment uses up - 13.5 x 10⁻⁶ L 
then number of experiments - 0.250 L / 13.5 x 10⁻⁶ L  = 1.8 x 10⁴ times 
the experiment can be carried out 18000 times

How many molecules are there in 7.27 miles of ammonia?
NemiM [27]

Hey There!

To solve this question remember that 1 mole of ammonia is equal to 17G of ammonia.

Using that, we first multiply 17 by 7 = 24

Then we multiply 7 by .27 = 1.89

Finally, taking those and adding them together gives you the answer...

<u>25.89 grams :)</u>
