Explanation:

In order to find the molecular formula, we have to find the empirical formula first of all.

It is known that is a styrofoam, elements present are carbon and hydrogen atoms.

Element     %         Atomic mass       Molar ratio           Simple ratio

    C        92.25          12.01              \frac{92.25}{12.01} = 7.68                 \frac{7.68}{7.68} = 1

     H        7.75            1.008            \frac{7.75}{1.008} = 7.68                 \frac{7.68}{7.68} = 1

As empirical formula of styrofoam is C_{x}H_{x}.

Hence, empirical mass = (12.01 + 1.008) g/mol = 13.018 g/mol = 13.0 g/mol (approx)

Molar mass given is 104 g/mol.

So,     \frac{\text{molar mass}}{\text{empirical formula mass}} = \frac{104}{13.0} = 8

Thus, we can conclude that molecular formula of the given styrene is C_{8}H_{8}.

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

Consider the following reaction:
Sidana [21]
Your limiting is CuCI2 and the excess is KI (from what i’ve heard from my tc to find it just use the moles or look at the grams)Do you want me to do the qn and give u the ans or?

Explanation:You have more grams of KI than CuCI2
irl example : I need 200g of flour to bake 1 muffin and 100g of butter.But I have 300g of butter and only 200g of flour.This means I can only bake up to 1 muffin since I got excess grams of butter.But to use up all my 300g of butter I need 400g more of flour.Making my butter the excess while my flour the limiting since I have less of it and it also determines how much muffin would I get at the end of the bake.

im sorry if that example sounds clowny T-T
