How can a hydrogen atom, which has only one electron, have so many spectral lines?

Answer:

The hydrogen atom has just one electron, but many spectral lines. However it contains many shells and the movement of that electron from one shell to another causes the release of energy and also an emission of photons.

A spectral line are dark or bright lines formed within a specific frequency range which differ from other frequencies.Because of the difference of energy for the various shells, it produces different wavelengths and this is the reason for the many spectral line for hydrogen.

Where the oxygen comes from the air (21% O2 and 79% N2). If oxygen is fed from air in excess of the stoichiometric amount requir

Answer:

$y_{O2} =4.3$ %

Explanation:

The ethanol combustion reaction is:

$C_{2}H_{5} OH+3O_{2}$ → $2CO_{2}+3H_{2}O$

If we had the amount (x moles) of ethanol, we would calculate the oxygen moles required:

$x*1.10(excess)*\frac{3 O_{2}moles }{etOHmole}$

Dividing the previous equation by x:

$1.10(excess)*\frac{3 O_{2}moles}{etOHmole}=3.30\frac{O_{2}moles}{etOHmole}$

We would need 3.30 oxygen moles per ethanol mole.

Then we apply the composition relation between O2 and N2 in the feed air:

$3.30(O_{2} moles)*\frac{0.79(N_{2} moles)}{0.21(O_{2} moles)}=121.414 (N_{2} moles )$

Then calculate the oxygen moles number leaving the reactor, considering that 0.85 ethanol moles react and the stoichiometry of the reaction:

$3.30(O_{2} moles)-0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{3(O_{2} moles)}{1(etOHmoles)} =0.75O_{2} moles$

Calculate the number of moles of CO2 and water considering the same:

$0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{3(H_{2}Omoles)}{1(etOHmoles)}=2.55(H_{2}Omoles)$

$0.85(etOHmoles)*\frac{2(CO_{2}moles)}{1(etOHmoles)}=1.7(CO_{2}moles)$

The total number of moles at the reactor output would be:

$N=1.7(CO2)+12.414(N2)+2.55(H2O)+0.75(O2)\\ N=17.414(Dry-air-moles)$

So, the oxygen mole fraction would be:

$y_{O_{2}}=\frac{0.75}{17.414}=0.0430=4.3$ %
