Answer:

n_1=1.459

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the Rydberd formula is:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=RZ^2(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} )

Whereas \lambda is wavelength of photon,  R the Rydberg's constant,  Z the atomic number of the atom, in this case 1 as it is hydrogen,  n_1 is the initial level and n_2 is the final energy level .

In such a way, solving for n_1 one obtains:

\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} =\frac{1}{\lambda RZ^2}\\\frac{1}{n_1^2}=\frac{1}{\lambda RZ^2}+\frac{1}{n_2^2}\\\frac{1}{n_1^2}=\frac{1}{4.141x10^{-7}m*1.097x10^7m^{-1}*1^2}+\frac{1}{2^2} \\\frac{1}{n_1^2}=0.47\\n_1=\sqrt{\frac{1}{0.47}} \\n_1=1.459

Best regards.

Answer:

1

Explanation:

Using the Rydberg formula as:

\frac {1}{\lambda}=R_H\times Z^2\times (\frac {1}{n_{1}^2}-\frac {1}{n_{2}^2})

where,

λ is wavelength of photon

R = Rydberg's constant (1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹)

Z = atomic number of atom

n₁ is the initial final level and n₂ is the final energy level

For Hydrogen atom, Z= 1

n₂ = 2

Wavelength = 410.1 nm

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

Wavelength = 410.1 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying in the formula as:

\frac {1}{410.1\times 10^{-9}}=1.097\times 10^7\times 1^2\times (\frac {1}{n_{1}^2}-\frac {1}{2^2})

Solving for n₁ , we get

n₁ ≅ 1

Chemistry to make tomato soup, you add one can of water to the condensed soup. why is this dilution?
Nastasia [14]
Dilution refers to decreasing the ratio of total solution to the reference solution by the addition of other liquids. By adding water to tomato soup, the balance of “tomato soup” molecules decreases from 100% tomato soup, to eventually 1:1 TS and Water (50%), and so on. Chemically, you can observe this as decreasing the concentration of tomato soup in this solution.

Spell out the full name of the compound.
Talja [164]

Answer:

2–methyl–3–propylheptane.

Explanation:

The name of the compound can be obtained as follow:

1. Identify the functional group of the compound.

2. Determine the name of the compound by determining the longest continuous carbon chain.

3. Identify the substituent group attached.

4. Locate the position of the substituent group by giving it the lowest possible count. Where there are two or more different substitutent group attached to the compound, name them alphabetically.

5. Name the compound by combining

the above steps.

Thus, we can name the compound as follow:

1. The compound has only single bond. Therefore, the compound is an alkane.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 7. Therefore, the parent name of the compound is heptane.

3. The substitutent groups attached are:

Propyl i.e –C3H7

Methyl i.e –CH3

4. The substituent groups are located at:

Propyl i.e –C3H7 is located at carbon 3.

Methyl i.e –CH3 is located at carbon 2.

5. The name of the compound is:

2–methyl–3–propylheptane.

.A gas occupies 25,3 mL at a pressure of 152 kPa. Find the volume if the pressure is
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

47.36mL

Explanation:

Using Boyles law equation, which states that:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

V1 = initial volume (mL)

V2 = final volume (mL)

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

Based on the provided information, V1 = 25.3mL, P1 = 152 kPa, V2 = ?, P2 = 0.804atm

First, we need to convert 152kPa to atm by dividing by 101

1kPa = 0.0099atm

152kPa = 1.505atm

P1V1 = P2V2

1.505 × 25.3 = 0.804 × V2

38.08 = 0.804V2

V2 = 38.08/0.804

V2 = 47.36mL
