From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 486.1 nanome

ters (nm). The spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at a wavelength of 486.0 nm. What can we conclude?

Answer:

The source of the hydrogen is coming towards us.

Explanation:

The wavelength of the hydrogen is decreasing as it goes from 486.1 nm to 486.0 nm.

<u>The wavelength of a wave is directly proportional to the distance between the observer and the object.</u>

For example, when the observer is far from the source, the observer will observe a longer wavelength which corresponds to red color if it is in the visible region.

<u>As the wavelength is decreasing that means that the hydrogen particle ( source may be a star) is coming towards the observer.</u>

Thus, we can conclude that the source of the hydrogen is coming towards us.

A 20.00-mL sample of a weak base is titrated with 0.0568 M HCl. At the endpoint, it is found that 17.88 mL of titrant was used.
nata0808 [166]

Answer: 0.0508mL

Explanation: Using the basic formula that states: C acid * V acid = C base * V base. we have:0.568 * 17.88 = 20 * C base.

therefore concentration of the base is 1.0156/20 = 0.0508 mL

Hypochlorous acid decays in the presence of ultraviolet radiation. Assume that degradation occurs accord- ing to first-order kin
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

35.75 days

Explanation:

From the given information:

For first-order kinetics, the rate law can be expressed as:

\mathsf{In \dfrac{C}{C_o} = -kt}

Given that:

the rate degradation constant = 0.12 / day

current concentration C = 0.05 mg/L

initial concentration C₀ = 3.65 mg/L

\mathsf{In( \dfrac{0.05}{3.65})= -(0.12) t}

㏑(0.01369863014) = -(0.12) t

-4.29 = -(0.12)

t = -4.29/-0.12

t = 35.75 days

Why is the composition of the vapor different from the composition of the solution?
BaLLatris [955]
If there is solution with nonvolatile solute (<span>substance that does not readily </span>evaporate<span> into a </span>gas) <span>only the pure vapor of the solvent is present above the solution and solute stays in solution and do not enters vapor above solution. This is because nonvolatile solute has slow rate of evaporation and low vapore pressure.
If solution has two volatile components, composition of the vapor depends on vapor pressures of the components according </span><span>Raoult's Law.</span>
