What is the least amount of energy that can be emitted by an excited electron in a hydrogen atom falling from an excited state d

irectly to the n = 3 state? What is the quantum number n for the excited state? Humans cannot visually observe the photons emitted in this process. Why not?

Answer:

1. E=1.059x10^{-19}J

2. n=4

3. The associated wavelength belongs to the infrared spectrum which is invisible for humans.

Explanation:

Hello,

1. At first, according to the equation:

E=E_oZ^2(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})

Whereas E is the emitted energy, E_o the first level energy, Z the atomic number, n_1 the first level and n_2 the second level. In such a way, the closest the n's are, the least the amount of emitted energy, therefore, n_1=3 (based on the statement) and n_2=4, thus, the least amount of energy turns out being:

E=(2.179x10^{-18}J)(1^2)(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{4^2})\\E=1.059x10^{-19}J

2. Secondly, and based on the first question, the quantum number for the excited state is mandatorily n=4

3. Finally, to substantiate why we cannot observe the emitted photons we apply the following equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.62607004x10^{-34} m^2 kg / s)(299 792 458m/s)}{1.059x10^{-19}m^2 kg / s^2}  \\\lambda=1.88x10^{-6}m

Whereas the obtained wavelength corresponds to the infrared spectrum which is not observable by humans.

Best regards.

Answer:

The least amount of energy emitted in this case is 0.6 eV.

The corresponding quantum number n would be n=4.

The wavelenght asociated to the emitted photon would be 2.06 \mum, corresponding to the Infrared spectrum.

Explanation:

For calculating the energy of an electron emitted/absorbed in an electronic transition of the hydrogen atom, the next equation from the Bohr model can be used:

E=E_{0} Z^2 [\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}]

, where E is the photon energy, E_0 is the energy of the first energy level (-13.6 eV), Z is the atomic number, n_1 is the quantum number n of the starting level and n_2 the quantum number n of the finishing level. In this case, n_2=3, and n_1=4, because this excited level is the next in energy to n=3.

Considering that 1 eV= 1.60217662x10^{-19} J, and using the Planck equation E=h\nu=\frac{hc}{\lambda}, you can calculate the wavelenght or the frequency associated to that photon. Values in the order of \mum in wavelenght belong to the Infrared spectrum, wich can not being seen by humans.

Freon is a _____. Ester carboxylic acid alcohol halide hydrocarbon
Tatiana [17]

Answer : The correct answer is, Halide hydrocarbon.

Explanation :

Freon : Freon are the simple aliphatic organic compounds which may contains fluorine, carbon, hydrogen, chlorine or bromine. So, they are a type of chlorofluoro carbons (CFCs).

They are considered as refrigerants which are used in air-conditioning and refrigeration system.
