<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

In the reaction C + O2 → CO2, 18 g of carbon react with oxygen to produce 72 g of carbon dioxide. What mass of oxygen would be n
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

54 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 18 g

Mass of CO₂ = 72 g

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical reaction:

C + O₂     →       CO₂

according to law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

In a similar way,

C   +    O₂     →       CO₂

18 g +   X      = 72

X = 72 -18

X = 54 g

Thus, 54 g of O₂ are required.

Describe the ammonium ion, NH4+, and the sulfate ion, SO42-. What compounds would these ions form with potassium and fluoride io
frozen [14]
<span>Cations mix with anions, so you know NH4+ won't mix with K+ and SO4(2-) won't miix with F-. For the reason that NH4+ and F- together have single charges, they'll mix in a 1:1 ratio, NH4F. There's two charges on SO4(2-), so it'll need two K+ to mix with, K2SO4.</span>

Sometimes in lab we collect the gas formed by a chemical reaction over water (see sketch at right). This makes it easy to isolat
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.00582 grams.

Explanation:

In order to solve the question, let us consider the vapor pressure of H2O, as hydrogen gas is collected over water, therefore, we have to consider the vapor pressure of water in the given case. Let us assume that the pressure is 760 torr or 1 atm.

It is known that the vapor pressure of water at 40 degree C is 53.365 torr (Based on the data).

Therefore, the pressure of H2 will be,

P = 760-55.365 = 704.635 torr or 704.635/760 = 0.9272 atm

The volume of the hydrogen gas collected in the tube is 80 ml or 0.08 L

Temperature in Kelvin will be 40+273 = 313 K

To calculate the moles of hydrogen (H2) gas, there is a need to use the ideal gas equation, that is, PV= nRT, in this R is the gas constant, whose value is 0.0821 L atm/molK, and n is the moles of the gas.

By inserting the values in the equation we get:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT = 0.9272 *0.08 / 0.0821 * 313

n = 0.00289 moles

The mass of H2 will be moles * molar mass = 0.00289 * 2.016

= 0.00582 grams.

In a very violent reaction called a thermite reaction, aluminum metal reacts with iron (III) oxide to form iron metal and alumin
leva [86]
Here's the equation:
<span>Fe2 O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2 O3 
</span>
Here's the question.
What mass of Al will react with 150g of Fe2 O3? 

<span>In every 2 moles Al you need 1 mole Fe2O3 </span>

<span>moles = mass / molar mass </span>
<span>moles Fe2O3 = 150 g / 159.69 g/mol </span>
<span>= 0.9393 moles </span>

<span>moles Al needed = 2 x moles Fe2O3 </span>
<span>= 2 x 0.9393 mol </span>
<span>= 1.879 moles Al needed </span>

<span>mass = molar mass x moles </span>
<span>mass Al = 26.98 g/mol x 1.879 mol </span>
<span>= 50.69 g </span>
<span>= 51 g (2 sig figs) 
</span>
So the <span>mass of Al that will react with 150g of Fe2 O3 is 51 grams.</span>
