calculate the wavelength (in NM) of a photon emitted by a hydrogen atom when it's electron drops from the n=5 to the n=3 state

1 answer:

8 0

IF WE TAKE N=1 IT IS CALLED GROUND STATE. THEN THE OTHER FOLLOWING HIGHER STATES ARE CALLED EXCITED STATES. IF THE ELECTRON IN AN ATOM JUMPS FROM A STATE TO A LOWER STATE, IT LOSES ENERGY. FROM THE GIVEN STATEMENT, THE WAY TO FIND THE ENERGY RELEASED IS GIVEN BY THE FORMULA, E(n)=(-13.6 eV)/n^2. FIRST TO FIND E(5)=(-13.6 eV)/(5)^2, WE GET E(5)=-0.544 eV. E(3)=(-13.6 eV)/(3)^2, WE GET E(3)=-1.5111 eV. THEN WE HAVE TO FIND THE ENERGY TRANSITION LEVEL. ON SUBTRACTING WE GET 0.967eV. THIS ENERGY HAS TO BE CONVERTED IN JOULES. SO WE MAKE E=0.967*(1.60*10^(-19)) J/eV, WHICH CORRESPONDS TO 0.15472*10^(-18) J. WE NEED TO FIND TO THE WAVELENGTH. THE CORRESPONDING FORMULA E = hf = hc/Î», Î» = hc/E. BY SUBSTITUTING THE KNOWN VALUES, WE GET THE ANSWER TO BE 1285.548 NM.

The following question appears on a quiz: ""You fill a tank with gas at 60Â°C to 100 kPa and seal it. You decrease the temperatu

dusya [7]

Answer: The final pressure will decrease ad the value is 85 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

$P_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

$P_1=100kPa\\T_1=60^0C=(60+273)K=333K\\P_2=?\\T_2=10^0C=(10+273)K=283K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{100kPa}{333K}=\frac{P_2}{283K}\\\\P_2=85kPa$

Hence, the final pressure will decrease ad the value is 85 kPa

How do you Convert 19mL to pL?

s2008m [1.1K]

Picoliter is a unit of measurement for liquids.

One picoliter = 1×10⁻⁹ mililiters

So:

19 mL ---- x pL

1×10⁻⁹ mL ---- 1 pL

1×10⁻⁹x = 19

x = 1,9 × 10¹⁰ pL

or 19,000,000,000 pL

Answer: 1.9 × 10¹⁰ pL

Which of the following are not single-displacement reactions?

Goshia [24]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{B and C }}$

Explanation:

In a single-displacement reaction, one element exchanges partners with another element in a compound.

$\textbf{A. } \rm Fe + 2HCl \longrightarrow FeCl_2 + H_2$

This is a single-displacement reaction, because the element Fe exchanges partners with H in HCl.

$\textbf{B. } \rm KOH + HNO_3 \longrightarrow H_2O + KNO_3$

This is not a single-displacement reaction, because it is a reaction between two compounds.

This is a double displacement reaction in which the K⁺ and H⁺ cations change partners with the anions.

$\textbf{C. } \rm Na_2S + 2HCl \longrightarrow 2NaCl + H_2S$

This is not a single-displacement reaction. It is another double displacement reaction, in which the Na⁺ and H⁺ cations change partners with the anions.

$\textbf{D. } \rm Ca + 2HOH \longrightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2$

This is a single-displacement reaction, because the element Ca exchanges partners with H in H₂O.

$\boxed{\textbf{B and C }}$ are not single-displacement reactions.
