Propose a reason why very few 2+ ions are formed in a mass spectrometer

Chemistry

TEA [102]3 years ago
5 0
A mass spectrometer is a machine that measures the mass of different substances by ionizing them and determining their paths in magnetic and electric fields. Few 2+ ions are created in a mass spectrometer because it is difficult to remove an electron from an ion that is already positive. It requires a lot more energy to accomplish this feat so it rarely happens in the process.

According to the quantum-mechanical model for the hydrogen atom, which electron transition produces light with the longer wavele
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The main task here is that there are some missing gaps in the above question that needs to be filled with the appropriate answers. So, we are just going to do rewrite the answer below as we indicate the missing gaps by underlining them and making them in bold format.

SO; In the quantum-mechanical model of the hydrogen atom.

As the n level increases. the energy <u>increases</u> and thus levels are <u>closer to </u>each other. Therefore, the transition <u>3p→2s</u> would have a greater energy difference than the transition from <u>4p→3p.</u>

Energy \  and \  wavelength  \ are \  inversely \   proportional , \  so \  the \ \mathbf{ 4p\to 3p} \ transition  \ wouldproduce  \ a  \ longer \ wavelength.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

Explanation:

The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.

The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:

V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³

Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)

(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL

The mass of mercury is then found:

m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

Find the value of x in the triangle
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

55.52°

Explanation:

Concept tested: Sine rule of triangles

We need to know the sine rule

  • According to sine rule, if the three sides of a triangle are a, b and c and the corresponding angles, A, B and C
  • Then, \frac{a}{SinA}=\frac{b}{SinB}=\frac{c}{SinC}

In this case;

  • If we take, a = 5.7 units and A = 70°, and

         b= 5 units, B = x°

  • Using the sine rule we can find the value of x

Therefore;

\frac{a}{SinA}=\frac{b}{SinB}

Then;

\frac{5.7}{Sin70}=\frac{5}{Sinx}

6.0658=\frac{5}{sinx}

Sinx=0.8243

Therefore, X = 55.52°

Therefore, the value of x in the triangle is 55.52°
