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

Chemistry
1 answer:
kow [346]3 years ago
6 0

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.

How many atoms are in 8.28 moles of aluminum?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

49.86 × 10²³  atoms of Al

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 8.28 mol

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 8.28 moles of Al:

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³  atoms of Al

8.28 mol×6.022 × 10²³  atoms / 1mol

49.86 × 10²³  atoms of Al

How many atoms are in 20.6 moles of curium
Harman [31]

Answer: 1.24 × 10^25

Explanation:

\frac{20.6 moles}{1} × \frac{6.022 * 10^{24} }{1 Mole}

Using our knowledge in unit conversions, we know the mole units cancel each other out and all there's left is the atom unit. From here we can multiply the fractions and eventually we end with the number 124.0532 × 10^23

According to the scientific notation rules, the number to the left of the decimal cannot exceed 10 so we have to move the decimal to the left two spaces. With this change, we also have to change the exponent of the 10. Because we moved the decimal point two spaces to the left, that means we have 10^25.

A compound is formed when 171.2 g of carbon reacts with 28.8 g of hydrogen. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound
IgorLugansk [536]
Following the law of conservation of mass, the mass percent of hydrogen in the resulting compound is 14.4%(wt/wt). This is assuming that all of the carbon reacts with all of the hydrogen. The solution is as follows:

mass % = mass hydrogen*100/total mass = 28.8*100/(28.8+171.2) = 14.4%
