Answer:

There is 5 significant figures in 811.40 grams

Explanation:

The significant figures are units that can be taking into account to write a figure.

Exists two general rules for it:

1. The numbers including zero (0) that are to the right of the figure are counted as a significant figure example: 345.60 has 5 significant figures

2. The zero (0) that are to the left of the figure are NOT counted as a significant figure example: 0.005 has 1 significant figure

There are 5 significant figures in this number because the zero counts and it comes after a number and on the right of the decimal point

Rydberg formula is given by:

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = R_{H}\times (\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} )$

where, $R_{H}$ = Rydberg constant = $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} per metre$

$\lambda$ = wavelength

$n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ are the level of transitions.

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 6

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{6^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{36} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.0278 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times 0.23$

= $0.2523958\times 10^{7}$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{0.2523958\times 10^{7}}$

= $3.9620\times 10^{-7} m$

= $396.20\times 10^{-9} m$

= $396.20 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 5

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{5^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.04 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.21 )$

= $0.230 \times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.230 \times 10^{7}}$

= $4.3478 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $434.78\times 10^{-9} m$

= $434.78 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 4

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.0625 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.1875 )$

= $0.20575 \times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.20575 \times 10^{7}}$

= $4.8602 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $486.02 \times 10^{-9} m$

= $486.02 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 3

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.12 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.13 )$

= $0.1426585\times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.1426585\times 10^{7}}$

= $7.0097 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $700.97 \times 10^{-9} m$

= $700.97 nm$

Are elements matter and why?

nata0808 [166]

All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and cannot be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions. Gold, for instance, is an element, and so is carbon. There are 118 elements, but only 92 occur naturally.
