Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Chemical formula of citric acid is $C_{6}H_{8}O_{7}$ .

It is acidic in nature and therefore, it is used to add tartness or sour flavor to the food like jams, jellies, candies etc.

It is also used as a preservative and thus it helps to preserve various food items for a longer period of time.

An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a volume of 5.0x102 mL at a temperature of 30°C and a pressure of 710. Torr. The ga

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

51207 torr is the new pressure of the gas

Explanation:

We can solve this question using combined gas law that states:

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

Where P is pressure, V volume and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas

Computing the values of the problem:

P1 = 710torr

V1 = 5.0x10²mL

T1 = 273.15 + 30°C = 303.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 25mL

T2 = 273.15 + 820°C = 1093.15K

Replacing:

710torr*5.0x10²mL*1093.15K = P2*25mL*303.15K

3.881x10⁸torr*mL*K = P2 * 7.579x10³mL*K

P2 = 51207 torr is the new pressure of the gas

Arrange the following H atom electron transitions in order of decreasing wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted:

Katyanochek1 [597]

The decreasing order of wavelengths of the photons emitted or absorbed by the H atom is : b → c → a → d

Rydberg's formula :

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R_h (\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} )$ ,

where λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from $n_1$ to $n_2$ and $R_h$ = 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here $n_1$ and $n_2$ represents the transitions.

(a) $n_1$ =2 to $n_2$ = infinity

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2} )$ = 109677/4 [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore, $\lambda$ = 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m

(b) $n_1$ =4 to $n_2$ = 20

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{20^2} )$ = 6580.62

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 / 6580.62 = 0.000152 m

(c) $n_1$ =3 to $n_2$ = 10

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{10^2} )$ = 11089.56

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 / 11089.56 = 0.00009 m

(d) $n_1$ =2 to $n_2$ = 1

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1^2} )$ = - 82257.75

Therefore, $\lambda$ = 1 /82257.75 = - 0.0000121 m

[Even though there is a negative sign, the magnitude is only considered because the sign denotes that energy is emitted.]

So the decreasing order of wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted is b → c → a → d.
