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.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The physical and chemical properties of seawater vary according to latitude, depth, nearness to land, and input of fresh water. The physical and chemical properties of seawater have a great effect on organisms, varying especially with the size of the creature. Marine organisms have evolved a wide variety of unique physiological and morphological features that allow them to live in the sea.

A 1.2516 gram sample of a mixture of caco3 and na2so4 was analyzed by dissolving the sample and completely precipitating the ca

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

0.009725 moles of H2C2O4

0.009725 moles CaCO3

Mass percentage = 77.77%

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2MnO4- +5C2H2O4+6H+ →2Mn2+ +10CO2+8H2O

We can see that for 2 moles of Mno4- consumed , there is 5 moles of C2H2O4 needed and 6 moles H+ to produce 2 moles Mn2+, 10 moles of CO2 and 8 moles of H2O

Step 2: Calculate moles of MnO4-

Molarity = Moles/volume

Moles of Mno4- = Molarity of MnO4- * Volume of Mno4-

Moles of Mno4- = 0.1092M * 35.62 *10^-3 L

Moles of MnO4- = 0.00389 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2C2O4

Since there is needed 5 moles of C2H2O4 to consume 2 moles of MnO4-

then for 0.00389 moles of MnO4-, there is 5/2 *0.00389 = 0.009725 moles of H2C2O4

Step 4: Calculate moles of CaCO3

moles of H2C2O4 = moles CaCO3, therefore, 0.009725 moles H2C2O4 = 0.009725 moles CaCO3

Step 5: Calculate mass of CaCO3

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 100.09 g/mole

Mass of CaCO3 = moles of CaCO3 * Molar mass of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.009725 moles * 100.09 g/mole = 0.9734 g

Step 6: Calculate percentage by weight of CaCO3

Mass of CaCO3 = 0.9734g

Mass of original sample = 1.2516g

Mass percentage = 0.9734/1.2516 *100% = 77.77%

How many atoms are in 4H3BO3

maksim [4K]

1 mole of h3bo3...........6.023*10²³ each h and B and 0 so we will have 3hydrogen+ 1 B+3 oxygen = 7*6.023*10²³ atoms

1 mole .......7*6.023*10²³atoms

4 moles ........x atoms

x=4*7*6.023*10²³.

4-hydroxypentanal reacts with one equivalent of methanol to form a cyclic acetal.

quester [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation is given as:

CH3CHOHC2H4CHO + CH3OH --> CYCLIC ACETAL + H2O

This above equation is carried out in the presence of a strong acid. There are five mechanisms employed and they are:

Step 1:

Initial formation of the hemiacetal which takes several steps

Step 2:

Addition of a proton. The hemicetal is protonated on the hydroxyl group (-OH group)

Step 3:

As seen a bond is broken to give the H2O molecule and a resonance stabilized cation.

The carbonyl group on the cation is enriched with the oxygen-18 got from the H2O molecule as seen in the mechanism.

Step 4:

An attraction occurs between electrophile and nucleophile i.e the stabilised cation and the lone paids of the methanol.

Step 5:

Finally, a proton (+) is removed from the molecule by a lone pair of electron on the methanol.

Attached are the Steps 1 - 5 mechanism below
