The Balmer Series of lines in the hydrogen atom was very important in the history of physics and astronomy. What made it so impo

rtant?
A) It helped Rutherford explain the workings of the atomic nucleus.
B) Balmer's experiments with these lines helped prove Wien's Law.
C) When electrons change levels to produce the Balmer series, the emitted light is in the visible part of the spectrum.
D) The Balmer series of lines can only be observed from outer space; so the competition to see these lines led to the space race.

the most appropriate will be

C) When electrons change levels to produce the Balmer series, the emitted light is in the visible part of the spectrum

Balmer series of hydrogen lines. These lines are emitted when the electron in the hydrogen atom moves from the orbital n = 3 or greater shell down to the n = 2 shell/orbit. ... Energy is emitted from the atom when the electron leaps from one orbit to another closer to the nucleus.

Wiens law has to do with the radiation  of a black body.

Ethanol (c2h6o) is a common intoxicant and fuel produced from the fermentation of various grains. how many moles of ethanol are
Lynna [10]
n = m / M

Where, n is moles of the compound (mol), m is the mass of the compound (g) and M is the molar mass of the compound (g/mol)

Here, the given ethanol mass = 50.0 kg = 50.0 x 10³ g

Molar mass of the ethanol = (12 x 2 + 1x 6 + 1 x 16) g/mol
                                          = 46 g/mol

Hence, moles in 50.0kg of ethanol = 50.0 x 10³ g / 46 g/mol
                                                        = 1086.96 mol

Andru [333]

Answer: 1.8 moles Fe and 2.7 moles CO_2 are produced.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2  

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of CO require 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

Thus 2.7 moles of CO will require=\frac{1}{3}\times 2.7=0.9moles  of Fe_2O_3

Thus CO is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Fe_2O_3 is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of CO give = 2 moles of Fe  and 3 moles of CO_2

Thus 2.7 moles of CO will give =\frac{2}{3}\times 2.7=1.8moles  of Fe  and \frac{3}{3}\times 2.7=2.7moles  of CO_2

Thus 1.8 moles Fe and 2.7 moles CO_2 are produced.

Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
DiKsa [7]
B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.

Two solids of identical mass, A and B, are analyzed using identical calorimeters. Each calorimeter contains the same amount of w
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Specific heat of solid A is greater than specific heat of solid B.

Explanation:

In the calorimeter, as the temperature is increasing, the vibrational kinetic energy will increase and this means that additional amount of energy will be needed to increase the temperature by the same value. Therefore, we can conclude that specific heat increases as temperature increases.

Now, we are told that the final temperature of solid A's calorimeter is higher than that of B.

This means from our definition earlier, Solid A will have a higher specific heat that solid B.
