Answer: A

Explanation:

Considering the order of filling electrons into orbitals, movement from a higher to a lower energy level results in the emission of a photon with energy equal to the energy difference between the two energy levels. However, the energies of different orbitals are close together for high values of n (principal quantum number). Their relative energies may change significantly when they form ions. This implies that energy levels are better separated and have high differences in energy for low values of n. Hence the answer. This means that photons transiting between these Lowe n levels will posses higher photon energy due to larger energy difference between levels.

Identify the balanced chemical equation that represents a single displacement reaction.

UNO [17]

3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂ is the balanced chemical equation that represents a single displacement reaction.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation?</h3>

The equation in which the number of atoms of all the molecules is equal on both sides of the equation is known as a balanced chemical equation.

3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

In this type of reaction, one substance is replacing another:

A + BC → AC + B

In a single displacement reaction, atoms replace one another based on the activity series. Elements that are higher in the activity series. Also, if the element that is to replace the other in a compound is more reactive the reaction will occur. If it is less reactive, there will be no reation.

In the first equation, fluorine is more reactive than bromine. Therefore, bromine cannot replace bromine.

In the second equation, the displacement is between hydrogen and aluminium. Hydrogen is lower in the activity series, this implies that aluminium will replace it.

Hence, 3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂ is the balanced chemical equation that represents a single displacement reaction.

The ideal gas heat capacity of nitrogen varies with temperature. It is given by:

hammer [34]

Answer:

A) 1059 J/mol

B) 17,920 J/mol

Explanation:

Given that:

Cp = 29.42 - (2.170*10^-3 ) T + (0.0582*10^-5 ) T2 + (1.305*10^-8 ) T3 – (0.823*10^-11) T4

R (constant) = 8.314

We know that:

$C_p=C_v+R$

We can determine $C_v$ from above if we make $C_v$ the subject of the formula as:

$C_v$ $=C_p-R$

$C_V = 29.42-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4-8.314$

$C_V = 21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4$

A).

The formula for calculating change in internal energy is given as:

$dU=C_vdT$

If we integrate above data into the equation; it implies that:

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4\,) du$

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T/1+(5.82*10^{-7})T2/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1= 1059J/mol$

Hence, the internal energy that must be added to nitrogen in order to increase its temperature from 450 to 500 K = 1059 J/mol.

B).

If we repeat part A for an initial temperature of 273 K and final temperature of 1073 K.

then T = 273 K & T2 = 1073 K

∴

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T/1+(5.82*10^{-7})T2/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})273/1+(5.82*10^{-7})1073/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1= 17,920 J/mol$

To what Kelvin temperature must a balloon

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

$T_2=261.46\ K$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Original temperature, $T_1=323^{\circ}C=596.15\ K$

Original volume, $V_1=2.85\ L$

We need to find the temperature if the volume of the balloon to be shrink to 1.25 L.

According to Charles law, at constant pressure, $V\propto T$

It would means, $\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$

T₂ = ?

$T_2=\dfrac{V_2T_1}{V_1}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{1.25\times 596.15}{2.85}\\\\T_2=261.46\ K$

So, the new temperature is 261.46 K.

Many classic experiments have given us indirect evidence of the nature of the atom. Which of the experiments below did not give

taurus [48]

The Rutherford experiment proved the Thomson “plum-pudding” model of the atom to be essentially correct did not give the results described and is denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Thomson “plum-pudding” model?</h3>

This model was proposed by J.J Thomson in which referred an atom as a sphere of positive charge, and negatively charged electrons are embedded in it to balance the total positive charge.

This model was incorrect and the Rutherford atomic model was adopted in which he described the electrons orbits about a tiny positive nucleus.

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons instead thereby making it the correct choice.
