Chemistry

Minchanka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Phosphorus has a low melting point because the intramolecular forces holding it together is London Dispersion Forces.

Explanation:

London Dispersion Forces (LDF) are the weakest intramolecular forces. You don't need to break the covalent bonds, but rather the Van Der Waals' Forces. If LDF are the weakest forces, then the melting point is low.

A ground state hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of light having a wavelength of 92.05 nm. It then gives off a photon having a wave
vodka [1.7K]
Absorbed photon energy
Ea = hc/λ.. (Planck's equation)
Ea = hc / 92.05^-9m 

<span>Energy emitted
Ee = hc/ 1736^-9m </span>

Energy retained ..
∆E = Ea - Ee = hc(1/92.05<span>^-9 - 1/1736^-9) </span>
<span>∆E = (6.625^-34)(3.0^8) (1.028^7)
∆E = 2.04^-18 J </span>

<span>Converting J to eV (1.60^-19 J/eV)
 ∆E = 2.04^-18 / 1.60^-19
∆E = 12.70 eV </span>

<span>Ground state (n=1) energy for Hydrogen = - 13.60eV </span>

<span>New energy state = (-13.60 + 12.70)eV = -0.85 eV </span>

<span>Energy states for Hydrogen
En = - (13.60 / n²) </span>

n² = -13.60 / -0.85 = 16
n = 4

What makes landing the hot air balloon a challenge?
Mariana [72]
You have to think about the fact that hot air is constantly being blown up elevating the balloon once that air is taken away it's up to the steering and the wind after that. I know that probably doesn't help did you want to know the science part?

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 138 mol of hydrogen gas and 64 mol of oxygen gas.
charle [14.2K]
2H₂₍g₎ + O₂ ₍g₎→ 2H₂O

138 mol H₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 2 mol H₂)= 138 mol H₂O
64 mol O₂ × (2 mol H₂O ÷ 1 mol O₂)= 128 mol H₂O

128 mol H₂O
