Answer:

n = 3 to n = 2

Explanation:

The Rydberg formula for electron transitions in the hydrogen atom is given by:

1/λ = Rh( 1/n₁² - 1/n₂² )

where

1/λ = wavelength of the transition,

Rh = Rydberg constant,

n₁ and n₂ are the principal quantum numbers of the energy levels involved in the transition with n₂ greater n₁.

The energy of the photon is given by

E = hc/λ

where

h= Planck´s constant

c= speed of light

Therefore the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength and the term ( 1/n₁² - 1/n₂² )  will be greater  ( 1/2² - 1/3² ) than (1/3² - 1/4² )  ( 0.14 vs 0.05 ). So the transition from n= 3 to n=2 will result in the emission of the highest energy photon in this question.

Which reaction results in only a physical change?
Advocard [28]
D will because water just turns from liquid to a gas by adding heat. That is a physical change. The other equations are chemical changes.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
sleet_krkn [62]
4Al(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s)    This is the balanced.
From the equation:

 4 moles of Al required 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
 
3 moles of O2 reacted with 4 moles of Al to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
1 mole of O2 reacted with 4/3 moles of Al to produce 2/3 moles of Al2O3  (Divide by 3)
4.5 moles of O2 reacted with (4/3 *4.5) moles of Al to produce (2/3*4.5) moles of Al2O3

4.5 moles of O2 reacted with 6moles of Al to produce  3moles of Al2O3

(3) is the answer.  6 mol of Al.

Vaselesa [24]
<span>0.0292 moles of sucrose are available. First, lookup the atomic weights of all involved elements Atomic weight Carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight Hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999 Now calculate the molar mass of sucrose 12 * 12.0107 + 22 * 1.00794 + 11 * 15.999 = 342.29208 g/mol Divide the mass of sucrose by its molar mass 10.0 g / 342.29208 g/mol = 0.029214816 mol Finally, round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 0.0292 moles</span>
