Expression for the Balmer series to find the wavelength of the spectral line is as follows:
1 / λ = R (\frac{1}{2^{2} } -  \frac{1}{ n^{2}} )
Where, λ is wavelength, R is Rydberg constant, and n is integral value (4 here →  Fourth level) 
Substitute 1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ for R and 4 for n in the above equation 
1 / λ = (1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹) (\frac{1}{2^{2} } -  \frac{1}{4^{2} }  ) 
   = 0.20568 x 10⁷ m⁻¹
λ = 4.86 x 10⁻⁷ m 
since 1 m = 10⁹ nm
λ = 486 nm

Which of the following is true when 1 M KCl is diluted to semi-molar KCl?
eimsori [14]

The solution before dilution and after dilution contains same number of moles, and water is added for dilution.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Suppose before dilution, the solution contains x moles of KCl in Y liter of water. Now as the concentration got halved, then the solution contains x moles of KCl in 2Y kiters of solution. So the number of moles of KCl in the solution remained constant.

Again, as the solution is diluted to half of the concentration, water must have been added with the solution to make it dilute.

How would you describe the motion of plates in a divergent boundary?
Nutka1998 [239]
Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle. Picture two giant conveyor belts, facing each other but slowly moving in opposite directions as they transport newly formed oceanic crust away from the ridge crest.

What do the subscripts mean in a molecular formula ?​
horsena [70]

Answer:

A molecular formula tells us what atoms and how many of each type of atom are present in a molecule.

Explanation:

If only one atom of a specific type is present, no subscript is used.

For atoms that have two or more present, a subscript is written after the symbol for that atom.

Molecular formulas do not indicate how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.

What is a colligative property?
V125BC [204]
<span>Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of molecules [or ions] in a given volume of solvent and not on the properties (e.g. size or mass) of the compound. Colligative properties include: lowering of vapor pressure; elevation of boiling point; depression of freezing point and osmotic pressure.</span>

How many molecules of oxygen are needed to make 3.5 oxygens of water?​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

57.6g

Explanation:

So, if in one mole of water, 16 g of oxygen atom is present. Then, in 3.6 moles of water, the mass of oxygen present will be 3.6×16=57.6g. Therefore, the amount of oxygen present in 3.6 g water is option (B)- 57.6 g.
