Answer:

7 to 4     (higher  \lambda)

5 to 3

3 to 2

4 to 2   (lower  \lambda)

Explanation:

We can use the Rydberg formula which relates the wavelength of the photon emissions to the principle quantum numbers involved in the transition:

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

with n_1 final n, and n_2 initial n

evaluating for each transition:

7 to 4 \frac{1}{\lambda} = R((\frac{1}{4^2})-(\frac{1}{7^2}))= R(1/16-1/49)=R(0.042)

5 to 3 \frac{1}{\lambda}= R(1/9-1/25)=R(0.071)

4 to 2 \frac{1}{\lambda}= R(1/4-1/16)=R(0.1875)

3 to 2 \frac{1}{\lambda}= R(1/4-1/9)=R(0.139)

Note that the above formula is written for \frac{1}{\lambda}, so lower \frac{1}{\lambda} value obtained involves higher \lambda.

So we should order from lower to higher \frac{1}{\lambda}

7 to 4     (higher  \lambda)

5 to 3

3 to 2

4 to 2   (lower  \lambda)

Note: Take into account that longer wavelength involves lower energy (E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}).

For the equilibrium PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), Kc = 2.0 × 101 at 240°C. If pure PCl5 is placed in a 1.00-L container and allowed
Cloud [144]

Answer:

the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M

Explanation:

for the reaction

PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

where

Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 2.0*10¹ M = 20 M

and [A] denote concentrations of A

if initially the mixture is pure PCl₅ , then it will dissociate according to the reaction and since always one mole of PCl₃(g) is generated with one mole of Cl₂(g) , the total number of moles of both at the end is the same → they have the same concentration → [PCl₃(g)] = [Cl₂]=0.27 M

therefore

Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 0.27 M* 0.27 M /[PCl₅] = 20 M

[PCl₅]  =  0.27 M* 0.27 M / 20 M = 3.64*10⁻³ M

[PCl₅]  = 3.64*10⁻³ M

the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M

The first word in the name of an ester is derived from the ________ used in the esterification.
oksian1 [2.3K]

The first word in the name of an ester is derived from the alcohol used in the esterification.

<h3>What is esterification?</h3>

Esterification is a chemical process where an organic acid with the formula is combined with an alcohol molecule having the chemical formula (ROH).

The process of esterification is known to produce an ester molecule and during this phenomenon is released water (H2O).

An example of an esterification reaction occurs when ethanoic acid (i.e., the active ingredient of vinegar) can react with C2H5OH (i.e., ethanol) in order to form the ethyl ethanoate molecule, which is a well-known ester molecule.

In conclusion, the first word in the name of an ester is derived from the Alcohol used in the esterification.

When 40 grams of ammonium nitrate explode 14 grams of nitrogen and 8 grams of oxygen form. How many grams of water form
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

18 grams of water

Explanation:

The Balance Chemical Reaction is as follow,

                     2 NH₄NO₃    →    2 N₂  +  O₂  +  4 H₂O

According to Equation,

                     160 g (2 moles) NH₄NO₃ produces  =  72 g (4 moles) of H₂O

So,

                     40 g of NH₄NO₃ will produce  =  X g of H₂O

Solving for X,

                     X =  (40 g × 72 g) ÷ 160 g

                     X  =  18 g of H₂O
