<u>Answer:</u> The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}

n_f = Higher energy level = n_i+1=(2+1)=3

n_i= Lower energy level = 2    (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.5233\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.565\times 10^{-7}m

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

1m=10^9nm

So, 6.565\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656.5nm

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

Osmium has a density of 22.6 g/cm^3. What volume (in cm^3) would be occupied by a 21.8 g sample of osmium?
Snowcat [4.5K]

0.9645 cm³ is the occupied volume by a 21.8 g sample of osmium of density of 22.6 g/cm^3.

Given values are:

  • Mass, m = 21.8 g
  • Density, d = 22.6 g

Density is given by,

  density = \frac{mass}{volume}

⇒volume = \frac{mass}{volume}

⇒volume = \frac{21.8}{22.6}

⇒volume = 0.9645 cm^3

∴The volume is 0.9645cm^3

3<br> Write the alpha decay WITH gamma emission for the following element:<br> 92<br> AL<br> 27
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In alpha decay alpha ray comes out . Apha ray is nothing but nucleus of helium atom whose atomic no  is 2 and atomic weight is 4 . Hence in alpha decay , atomic weight reduces by 4 and atomic no reduces by 2. For gamma emission , there is no change in atomic number and atomic mass.

⁹²₂₇AL ⇒ ⁸⁸₂₅X + ⁴₂He + γ

X is Manganese .

A chemical reaction produced 10.1 cm3 of nitrogen gas at 23 °C and 746 mmHg. What is the volume of this gas if the temperature a
adell [148]

Answer:

volume of gas = 9.1436cm³

Explanation:

We will only temperature from °C to K since the conversion is done by the addition of 273 to the Celsius value.

Its not necessary to convert pressure and volume as their conversions are done by multiplication and upon division using the combined gas equation, the factors used in their conversions will cancel out.

V1 =10.1cm³ , P1 =746mmHg,     T1=23°C =23+273=296k

V2 =? ,   P2 =760mmmHg ,     T2=0°C = 0+273 =273K

Using the combined gas equation to calculate for V2;

\frac{V1P1}{T1}=\frac{V2P2}{T2} \\ re-arranging, \\V2 =\frac{V1P1T2}{P2T1}

V2 =\frac{10.1*746*273}{760*296}

V2=9.1436cm³
