Answer:

For an electron to move from a lower energy level to a higher energy , that electron needs to absorb energy sufficient enough to excite it to make the transition. Hence it is an absorption process. The required energy of transition  E = 2.665 x 10⁻²⁰J

Explanation:

Using the Rydberg's equation we can calculate the wavelength of the photon of energy transition as follows:

1/λ = R . (1/nf² - 1/ni²)

where

λ is the required wavelength of the photon needed to be absorbed to excite the electron to transit from level 5 to 6.  

(Note that for the electron to transit to from energy level 5 to 6, the photon would have to fall from level 6 to 5 in order to emit the required energy to excite the electron)

R is the Rydberg's constant 1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

nf is the final level of the photon

ni is the initial level of the photon

1/λ = 1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ (1/5² - 1/6²)

1/λ = 1.3407 x 10⁵ m⁻¹

λ = 7.458 x 10⁻⁶ m

This implies that that is the wavelength of the photon required to excite the electron to transit from energy level 5 to 6. Using the equation below, we can calculate the energy of transition as

E = h.c/λ

where

E is the required energy of transition

h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js)

c is the speed of light (3 x 10⁸ms⁻¹)

λ is the wavelength calculated above

E = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js  x  3 x 10⁸ms⁻¹/ 7.458 x 10⁻⁶ m

E = 2.665 x 10⁻²⁰J

If you have 1.1 moles of magnesium nitrate then how many grams is that
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 162.8 grams

Explanation:

Magnesium nitrate has a chemical formula of Mg(NO3)2.

Given that:

Number of moles of Mg(NO3)2 = 1.1 moles

Mass in grams of Mg(NO3)2 = ?

For Molar mass of Mg(NO3)2, use atomic mass of magnesium = 24g, nitrogen = 14g, oxygen = 16g

Mg(NO3)2 = 24g + (14g + 16gx3) x 2

= 24g + (14g + 48g) x 2

= 24g + (62g) x 2

= 24g + 124g

= 148g/mol

Now, apply the formula:

Number of moles = Mass in grams / molar mass

1.1 moles = Mass / 148g/mol

Mass = 1.1 moles x 148g/mol

Mass = 162.8 grams

Thus, there are 162.8 grams of magnesium nitrate.

Which of the following would most likely result in an increase in reaction rate? placing the reactants on a hotplate
puteri [66]

Answer:

placing the reactants on a hot plate

Explanation:

If the temperature goes up, the reaction rate will increase. Because the particle will move faster and makes the kinetic energy larger.

If a compound has a molar más of 180g/mol and it’s empirical formula is CH^2O, what is it’s molecular formula?
lesya [120]

C: 12.0107 g/mol ≅ 12.00 g/mol

H: 1.00784 g/mol ≅ 1.008 g/mol

O: 15.999 g/mol ≅ 16.00 g/mol

n(molar mass of CH2O)= 180

n.30=180

n=6

molecular formula: c6h12o6 glucose
