Calculate the wavelength of light emitted when each of the following transitions occur in the hydrogen atom. What type of electr
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The wavelength of the emitted photon will be approximately 655 nm, which corresponds to the visible spectrum.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we need to recall Bohr's formula for the energy of each of the orbitals in the hydrogen atom:

E_{n} = -\frac{m_{e}e^{4}}{2(4\pi\epsilon_{0})^2\hbar^{2}}\frac{1}{n^2} = E_{1}\frac{1}{n^{2}}, where:

[tex]m_{e}[tex] = electron mass

e = electron charge

[tex]\epsilon_{0}[tex] = vacuum permittivity

[tex]\hbar[tex] = Planck's constant over 2pi

n = quantum number

[tex]E_{1}[tex] = hydrogen's ground state = -13.6 eV

Therefore, the energy of the emitted photon is given by the difference of the energy in the 3d orbital minus the energy in the 2nd orbital:

[tex]E_{3} - E_{2} = -13.6 eV(\frac{1}{3^{2}} - \frac{1}{2^{2}})=1.89 eV[tex]

Now, knowing the energy of the photon, we can calculate its wavelength using the equation:

[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}[tex], where:

E = Photon's energy

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light in vacuum

[tex]\lambda[tex] = wavelength

Solving for [tex]\lambda[tex] and substituting the required values:

[tex]\lambda = \frac{hc}{E} = \frac{1.239 eV\mu m}{1.89 eV}=0.655\mu m = 655 nm[tex], which correspond to the visible spectrum (The visible spectrum includes wavelengths between 400 nm and 750 nm).

Is apple juice a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture
Solnce55 [7]

If you mean the industrialized apple juice then yes. Even though there are several different compounds and some of them aren't actually dissolved in the liquid, since you can't actually distinguish between them using only your eyes and they do no separate naturally it is actually a homogeneous mixture.

Phenolphthalein has a pKa of 9.7 and is colorless in its acid form and pink in its basic form. calculate [In-}/{HIn} for the fol
zvonat [6]

Answer:

1.58x10⁻⁵

2.51x10⁻⁸

0.0126

63.10

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein acts like a weak acid, so in aqueous solution, it has an acid form HIn, and the conjugate base In-, and the pH of it can be calculated by the Handerson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log[In-]/[HIn]

pKa = -logKa, and Ka is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation of the acid. [X] is the concentrantion of X. Thus,

i) pH = 4.9

4.9 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = - 4.8

[In-]/[HIn] = 10^{-4.8}

[In-]/[HIn] = 1.58x10⁻⁵

ii) pH = 2.1

2.1 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = -7.6

[In-]/[HIn] = 10^{-7.6}

[In-]/[HIn] = 2.51x10⁻⁸

iii) pH = 7.8

7.8 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = -1.9

[In-]/[HIn] = 10^{-1.9}

[In-]/[HIn] = 0.0126

iv) pH = 11.5

11.5 = 9.7 + log[In-]/[HIn]

log[In-]/[HIn] = 1.8

[In-]/[HIn] = 10^{1.8}

[In-]/[HIn] = 63.10
