Solid does not take up the container because its whole. A liquid is wet and shapes the container.

Liquids can flow because their particles can move over each other. When water is poured into a glass, the particles of water move over each other and into the corners of the glass. The particles keep on moving over each other as the water takes the shape of the glass. Gases can flow because they can move in any direction.

Here's the question ~

Lelechka [254]

Using the Rydberg formula, the spectral line of H - atom is suitable for this purpose is Paschen, ∞ → 3.

Using the Rydberg formula;

1/λ = RH(1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2)

Given that;

λ = wavelength

RH = Rydberg constant

nf = final state

ni = initial state

When final state = 3 and initial state = ∞

Then;

1/λ = 1 × 10^7 m-1 (1/3^2 - 1/ ∞^2)

1/λ = 1 × 10^7 m-1 (1/3^2 )

λ = 900 nm

Hence, the correct answer is Paschen, ∞ → 3

A coffee-cup calorimeter initially contains 125 g water at 24.28C. Potassium bromide (10.5 g), also at 24.28C, is added to the w

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The solution is given below

Explanation:

Heat, q= mc∆T

q= 125g x 4.18 J/g∙°C x (21.18x- 24.28) °C

q= -1619.75J

NEGATIVE SIGN INDICATES THAT HEAT IS ABSORBED.

Enthalpy Change, ∆H = 1619.75 7/ 10.5 g

= 154.26 J/g

No. of moles of KBr = Mass of KBr/ Molecular Weight of KBr

=10.5g/119gmol-1

=0.088 mol

∆H= 1619.75 J/ 0.088 mol

= 18.41 kJ/mol

How many moles of Cu(OH)2 are soluble in 1L of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) when the pH is 8.23?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

4.96E-8 moles of Cu(OH)2

Explanation:

Kps es the constant referring to how much a substance can be dissolved in water. Using Kps, it is possible to know the concentration of weak electrolytes. Then, pKps is the minus logarithm of Kps.

Now, we know that sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong electrolyte, who is completely dissolved in water. Therefore the pH depends only on OH concentration originating from NaOH. Let us to figure out how much is that OH concentration.

$pH= -log[H]\\pH= -log (\frac{kw}{[OH]})$
