A chemist identifies compounds by identifying bright lines in their spectra. She does so by heating the compounds until they glo

w, sending the light through a diffraction grating, and measuring the positions of first-order spectral lines on a detector 15.0 cm behind the grating. Unfortunately, she has lost the card that gives the specifications of the grating. Fortunately, she has a known compound that she can use to calibrate the grating. She heats the known compound, which emits light at a wavelength of 461 nm, and observes a spectral line 9.95 cm from the center of the diffraction pattern.PART A:What is the wavelength emitted by compound A that have spectral line detected at position 8.55 cm?PART B:What is the wavelength emitted by compound B that have spectral line detected at position and 12.15 cm?

Answer:

PART A: 412.98 nm

PART B: 524.92 nm

Explanation:

The equation below can be used for a diffraction grating of nth order image:

n*λ = d*sinθ_{n}

Therefore, for first order images, n = 1 and:

λ = d*sinθ_{1}.

The angle θ_{1} can be calculated as follow:

tan θ_{1}  = 9.95 cm/15.0 cm = 0.663 and

θ_{1} = tan^{-1} (0.663) = 33.56°

Thus: d =λ/sin θ_{1}  = 461/sin 33.56° = 833.97 nm

PART A:

For a position of 8.55 cm:  

tan θ_{1}  = 8.55 cm/15.0 cm = 0.57 and

θ_{1} = tan^{-1} (0.57) = 29.68°

Therefore:

λ =d*sin θ_{1}  = 833.97*sin 29.68° = 412.98 nm

PART B:

For a position of 12.15 cm:  

tan θ_{1}  = 12.15 cm/15.0 cm = 0.81 and

θ_{1} = tan^{-1} (0.81) = 39.01°

Therefore:

λ =d*sin θ_{1}  = 833.97*sin 39.01° = 524.92 nm

I remember coming across this question and the options were:
KOH, HCN, NH₃, HI, Sr(OH)₂

Now, a substance with a low pH is one that dissociates completely in water to release hydrogen ions, while basic substances dissociate completely to release hydroxide ions. Therefore, in the order of increasing pH:
HI, HCN, NH₃, Sr(OH)₂, KOH

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 65.8 grams of water from 31.5ºC to 46.9ºC?
vodomira [7]

Answer: 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J

Explanation:

1) Data:

Water ⇒ C = 1 cal/g°C

m = 65.8 g

Ti = 31.5°C

Tf = 36.9°C

Heat, Q = ?

2) Formula:

Q = mCΔT

3) Calculations:

Q = 65.8g × 1 cal/g°C × (46.9°C - 31.5°C) = 1,013.2 cal

4) You can convert from calories to Joules using the conversion factor:

1 cal = 4.18 J

⇒ 1,013.32 cal × 4.18 J/cal = 4,235.68 J
