The electron in the hydrogen atom relaxes to \boxed{\text{first}} principal level.

Further Explanation:

Electronic transition is the process of transference of electrons from one energy level to another energy level. If electron jumps from higher to lower level, it is accomplished by release of energy. This process is called emission process. Similarly, electron gains energy while going from lower to higher energy levels. This process is known as absorption process.

The expression to calculate wavelength of transition in hydrogen atom is as follows:

\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R_\text{H}\left(\dfrac{1}{\text{n}_1^2}-\dfrac{1}{{\text{n}_2^2}}\right)                                                            ...... (1)                                        

Where,

\lambda  is the wavelength of transition.

R_\text{H} is Rydberg constant.

\text{n}_2 is the initial energy level of transition.

\text{n}_1 is the final energy level of transition.

Rearrange equation (1) to calculate \text{n}_1.

\dfrac{1}{\text{n}_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{\text{n}_1^2}-\dfrac{1}{\lambda R}_\text{H} }                                                  ...... (2)

Substitute 6 for \text{n}_1, 93.8 nm for \lambda and 1.0974\times10^7\text{ m}^{-1} for R_\text{H} in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{1}{\text{n}_2}&=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{\text{6}^2}-\dfrac{1}{(93.8\text{ nm})\left(\dfrac{10^{-9}\text{ m}}{1\text{ nm}}\right)(1.0974\times10^7\text{ m}^{-1})}\\&=0.999\\&\approx{1}\end{aligned}                                              

Solving for \text{n}_2,

\text{n}_2=1

Therefore electron present in sixth energy level relaxes to first energy level.

We can find the principal level or lower level using Rydberg's formula:

1/w = R(1/L² - 1/U²) 

<span>where:</span>

<span>w is the wavelength (93.8 nm),</span>

L is the lower energy level (unknown)

U the upper energy level (n= 6)

R is Rydberg's constant (10,967,758 waves per meter)

Substituing known values into the equation:<span>
1/(9.38 * 10^-8 m.) = 10,967,758(1/L² - 1-36) </span>

Using the solver function of the calculator to get for L:

L = 0.999 <span>
so L = 1. 
<span>The lower level is 1 (the ground state).</span></span>

Classify each salt as acidic, basic, or neutral? -nh4cl -ca(no32
vichka [17]
The pH of salt depends on the component acid and base that comprise them. For example, if the salt is made up of strong acid and weak base then, the salt is acidic. If the salt is formed from strong base and weak acid then, the salt is basic. For this item, NH4Cl is acidic and also Ca(NO3)2 is acidic.

What combination of forces was the closest match? Why?
Virty [35]

Answer: COMBINED FORCES

When forces act in the same direction, they combine to make a bigger force. When they act in opposite directions, they can cancel one another out. If the forces acting on an object balance, the object does not move, but may change shape.

What was a Parthian battery?
timama [110]

Answer:

Scientists believe the batteries (if that is their correct function) were used to electroplate items such as putting a layer of one metal (gold) onto the surface of another (silver), a method still practiced in Iraq today.

What is the molariity of a 50.0 mL aqueous solution containing 10.0 grams of table salt, NaCl?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

3 mol/L

Explanation:

You should know or have the equation to solve for Molarity which is;

M = n/v           (M: Molarity) (n: moles of solute) (v: Liters of solute)

You can start off differently but I would start by converting the mL to L. This is your "v" value.

50.0 mL/ 1000 mL = 0.05 L

Now, you have to convert grams to moles in order to solve for molarity (M).

1.) On the periodic table find the molecular weights of Na and Cl.

Na= 22.99 g/mol         Cl= 35.45g/mol

2.) Add them together to have their combined molecular weights.

22.99 + 35.45= 58.44 g/mol

3.) Now, you're going to use the "picket fence method" or whichever your teacher taught you to convert from grams to moles. This will be your "n" value. (I cannot show it on here without it looking weird, so my sincere apologies.)

10.0 g/ 58.44 g = 0.17111 mol

4.)You are now going to plug in your answers into the equation for Molarity.

M= 0.17111 mol / 0.05 L = 3.4222

5.) I am sure your professor might be a stickler so for sig figs sake when you multiply or divide use the smallest amount of sig figs you see which is 1. Round 3.4222 to 3 mol/L

Sorry this explanation is long let me know if you need a better more written out sample.
