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.

Alice and Bob are experimenting with two moles of neon, a monatomic gas, that starts out at conditions of standard temperature a

Archy [21]

Answer:

29273.178 joules have been added to the gas for the entire process.

Explanation:

The specific heats of monoatomic gases, measured in joules per mol-Kelvin, are represented by the following expressions:

Isochoric (Constant volume)

$c_{v} = \frac{3}{2}\cdot R_{u}$ (1)

Isobaric (Constant pressure)

$c_{p} = \frac{5}{2}\cdot R_{u}$ (2)

Where $R_{u}$ is the ideal gas constant, measured in pascal-cubic meters per mol-Kelvin.

Under the assumption of ideal gas, we notice the following relationships:

1) Temperature is directly proportional to pressure.

2) Temperature is directly proportional to volume.

Now we proceed to find all required temperatures below:

(i) <em>Alice heats the gas at constant volume until its pressure is doubled</em>:

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}$ (3)

( $\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = 2$ , $T_{1} = 273.15\,K$ )

$T_{2} = \frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} \times T_{1}$

$T_{2} = 2\times 273.15\,K$

$T_{2} = 546.3\,K$

(ii) <em>Bob further heats the gas at constant pressure until its volume is doubled</em>:

$\frac{T_{3}}{T_{2}} =\frac{V_{3}}{V_{2}}$ (4)

( $\frac{V_{3}}{V_{2}} = 2$ , $T_{2} = 546.3\,K$ )

$T_{3} = \frac{V_{3}}{V_{2}}\times T_{2}$

$T_{3} = 2\times 546.3\,K$

$T_{3} = 1092.6\,K$

Finally, the heat added to the gas ( $Q$ ), measured in joules, for the entire process is:

$Q = n\cdot [c_{v}\cdot (T_{2}-T_{1})+c_{p}\cdot (T_{3}-T_{2})]$ (5)

If we know that $R_{u} = 8.314\,\frac{Pa\cdot m^{3}}{mol\cdot K}$ , $n = 2\,mol$ , $T_{1} = 273.15\,K$ , $T_{2} = 546.3\,K$ and $T_{3} = 1092.6\,K$ , the heat added to the gas for the entire process is:

$c_{v} = \frac{3}{2}\cdot \left(8.314\,\frac{Pa\cdot m^{3}}{mol\cdot K} \right)$

$c_{v} = 12.471\,\frac{J}{mol\cdot K}$

$c_{p} = \frac{5}{2}\cdot \left(8.314\,\frac{Pa\cdot m^{3}}{mol\cdot K} \right)$

$c_{p} = 20.785\,\frac{J}{mol\cdot K}$

$Q = (2\,mol)\cdot \left[\left(12.471\,\frac{J}{mol\cdot K} \right)\cdot (536.3\,K-273.15\,K)+\left(20.785\,\frac{J}{mol\cdot K} \right)\cdot (1092.6\,K-546.3\,K )\right]$

$Q = 29273.178\,J$

29273.178 joules have been added to the gas for the entire process.

1)The average lethal dose of Valium is 1.52 mg/kg of body weight. Estimate how many grams of Valium would be lethal for a 200.-l

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

1. 0.138g of valium would be lethel in the woman

2. 125mg/min is the drip of the patient

Explanation:

1. In a body, an amount of Valium > 1.52mg / kg of body weight would be lethal.

A person that weighs 200lb requires:

200<u>lb</u> × (453.6<u>g</u> / <u>1lb</u>) × (1kg / 1000<u>g</u>) = <em>90.72kg (Weight of the woman in kg)</em>

90.72kg × (1.52mg / kg) =

137.9mg ≡

<h3>0.138g of valium would be lethel in the woman</h3>

2. The IV contains 1.5g = 1500mg/mL.

If the patient is receiving 5.0mL/h, its rate in mg/h is:

5.0<u>mL</u>/h × (1500mg/<u>mL</u>) = 7500mg/h

Now as 1h = 60min:

7500mg/<u>h</u> × (1<u>h</u> / 60min) =

<h3>125mg/min is the drip of the patient</h3>

When a potassium ion (K+) moves from the soil into the vacuole of a cell on the surface of a root, it must pass through several

insens350 [35]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → vacuole

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The cell wall is the protective outer layer of a plant cell, that gives the cell strength and structure, and also filters molecules that pass in and out of the cell.
Cell membrane acts as a semi-permeable barrier separating the inside of the cell from the outside of the cell. The membrane allows regulation of what enters/exits the cell and how quickly.
Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid that fills a cell. It is responsible for giving a cell its shape and also helps to fill out the cell and keeps organelles in their place.
Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. They functional in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.
<u>Potassium ion from the extracellular environment will move to the cell vacuole via the cell wall, the cell membrane and then via the cytoplasm to the vacuole.</u>
