Suppose you decide to define your own temperature scale using the freezing point (13 ∘c) and boiling point (360 ∘c) of oleic aci

d, the main component of olive oil. if you set the freezing point of oleic acid as 0 ∘o and the boiling point as 140 ∘o, what is the freezing point of water on this new scale?

<span>Assume new scale as deg O. To find incremental scale of deg C against deg O, (360 - 13) / (140 - 0) = 2.48. This implies there will be an increment of 2.48 deg C for every increment of 1 deg O. Freezing point of water ( 0 deg C ) will become (0 - 13) / 2.48 = - 5.24 deg O. Temperature will be negative as 0 deg O corresponds to 13 deg C and hence any temperature below that will be negative.</span>

Use the Rydberg equation to calculate the wavelength (in Å) of the photon absorbed when a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition f
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1024Å

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation is an empirical relationship equation expressed by Balmer and Rydberg which is given as:

1/λ = R_{H} (\frac{1}{n_{f} ^{2} }-\frac{1}{n_{i} ^{2} }  ).............................(1)

where R_{H} is the Rydberg constant given as 1.09 x 10^{7}m^{-1}, n is the transition level and the subscript f and i show the final and initial level numbers respectively. λ is the wavelength.

n_{f}= 1

n_{i} = 3

Using equation (1), we have

1/λ = 1.097 x 10^{7}(\frac{1}{3^{2} }- \frac{1}{1^{2} })

    = 1.097 x 10^{7} (\frac{1}{9} -\frac{1}{1} )

      = 1.097 x 10^{7}(0.11-1)

       = 1.097 x 10^{7} (-0.89)

       = - 9763300

λ = -\frac{1}{9763300}

   = -1.024x 10^{-7}m

We should note that the negative sign we have is as a result of photon absorption whereby the hydrogen atom gains energy to undergo a transition from the lower energy level to a higher one. Wavelength does not have a negative value.

To convert to Å, we have

λ = \frac{1.024 x 10^{-7} }{10^{-10} } = 1024Å  

Therefore the wavelength of the photon in Å  is 1024Å

Which statement is true about sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?
Leokris [45]

Answer: D. It is a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxide ions.

Explanation:  A base is a substance which  dissociates to give hydroxide ions in water.

An acid  is a substance which  dissociates to give hydrogen ions in water.

NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-

So NaOH is a base as it gives OH^- ions when dissolved in water.
