The Lyman series can be expressed in the formula <span><span>1/λ</span>=<span>RH</span><span>(1−<span>1/<span>n2</span></span>) where </span><span><span>RH</span>=1.0968×<span>107</span><span>m<span>−1</span></span>=<span><span>13.6eV</span><span>hc

</span></span></span></span>Where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2 (i.e. n = 2,3,4,...). Therefore, the lines seen in the image above are the wavelengths corresponding to n=2 on the right, to n=∞on the left (there are infinitely many spectral lines, but they become very dense as they approach to n=∞<span> (Lyman limit), so only some of the first lines and the last one appear).
 The wavelengths (nm) in the Lyman series are all ultraviolet
:2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
 Wavelength (nm) 121.6 102.6 97.3 95 93.8 93.1 92.6 92.3 92.1 91.9 91.18 (Lyman limit)
In your case for the n=5 line you have to replace "n" in the above formula for 5 and you should get a value of 95 x 10^-9 m for the wavelength. then you have to use the other equation that convert wavelength to frequency. </span>

Why must there be two chlorine atoms for every one calcium atom
Nady [450]

Answer:

There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.

<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>

Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.

1. What is the molarity of a solution which contains 0.256 mol of a substance dissolved in 143 mL of solution.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The equation for molarity is moles/liter for the first question you would do 0.256/0.143 liters to get 1.790 mol/L

Explanation:

The second problem you would do need to find the moles of NaCl which you would do by doing 4.89 g/58.44g/mol= 0.08367 then do 0.08367/0.600= 0.139 mol/L

The third problem would be the same steps as the second one.

The fourth problem would be (0.460M)(5.50L)= 2.53 moles
