On molecular level what I causing the glaciers to melt

1 answer:

6 0

Glaciers capture large amount of carbon dioxide from atmosphere. When concentration of carbon dioxide molecules in glaciers increase, then strength and fracture toughness of ice are decreased and that make glaciers vulnerable to cracking and splitting into fragments.
That is because hydrogen bonds between water molecules in glaciers is decreased under increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide who competes with the water molecules connected in the ice crystal.

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: E = R_y/n^2 In this equation R_y stands

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron for the given energy levels is $5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

Explanation:

Given :

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula:

$E=\frac{R_y}{n^2}$

$R_y=2.18\times 10^{-18} J$ = Rydberg energy

n = principal quantum number of the orbital

Energy of 11th orbit = $E_{11}$

$E_{11}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-18} J}{11^2}=1.80\times 10^{-20} J$

Energy of 10th orbit = $E_{10}$

$E_{10}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-18} J}{10^2}=2.18\times 10^{-20} J$

Energy difference between both the levels will corresponds to the energy of the wavelength of the line which can be calculated by using Planck's equation.

$E'=E_{10}-E_{11}=2.18\times 10^{-20} J-1.80\times 10^{-20} J$

$=E'=0.38\times 10^{-20} J$

$\lambda =\frac{hc}{E'}$ (Planck's' equation)

$\lambda = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{0.38\times 10^{-20} J}$

$\lambda = 5.2310\times 10^{-5} m\approx 5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

The wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron for the given energy levels is $5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 meters. At what height does the ball have a velocity of 10 meters/second?

musickatia [10]

Answer:

15m

Explanation:

vi = 0

vf = 10

a = -9.8

10^2 = 0 + 2(-9.8)(x2-x1) = -5.1

20-5.1 = 14.9m = 15m
