What is the energy of light associated with a transition from n=3 to n=8 in a hydrogen atom? Does this represent absorption or e

mission of a photon?

Explanation:

Energy levels to be n = 8 and n = 3. Rydberg's equation will allow you calculate the wavelength of the photon emitted by the electron during this transition

1λ = R ⋅ (1/nf^2 − 1/ni^2)

where,

λ - the wavelength of the emitted photon

R - Rydberg's constant = 1.0974 x 10^7m

nf - the final energy = 8

ni - the initial energy level = 3

1/λ = 1.0974 x 10^7 * (1/8^2 − 1/3^2)

= -1.05x 10^6 m.

Using Heinsberg's equation,

E = (h * c)/λ

Calculating the energy of this transition you'll have to multiply Rydberg's equation by h * c

where,

h - Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10^−34 Js

c - the speed of light = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s

So, the transition energy, E = (6.626 x 10^−34 * 3 x 10^8) * -1.05x 10^6

= -2.08 x 10^-19 J.

B.

When an electron transitions from a less excited state to a excited state (higher energy orbit), the difference in energy is absorbed as a photon.

The energy is negative which means energy is lost or dissipated to the surroundings. Therefore, an absorption of photons.

1. Which of the following is a correctly written thermochemical equation?
WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

1. Thermochemical equation is balance stoichiometric chemical equation written with the phases of the reactants and products in the brackets along with the enthalpy change of the reaction.

The given correct thermochemical reactions are:

Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3(s),\Delta H = 3,926 kJ


C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2 (g)+4H_2O(l),\Delta H= 2,220 kJ/mol

2. Phase change affect the value of the enthalpy change of the thermochemical equation. This is because change in phase is accompanied by change in energy. For example:

H_2O(s)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{s}=51.1 kJ/mol

H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{v}=40.65 kJ/mol

In both reaction phase of water is changing with change in energy of enthalpy of reaction.

Explain how earth plates and lithosphere are related
AnnyKZ [126]

Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.

The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.

Which element is oxidized in the reaction below? fe(co)5 (l) + 2hi (g) fe(co)4i2 (s) + co (g) + h2 (g)?
DanielleElmas [232]
Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂<span> (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.

Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.

Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
 x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
 x + 0 - 2            = 0
                   x     = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product </span>Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.

Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
   y        = 0

Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.
