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.

Calculate the energy required to heat 322.0g of ethanol from −2.2°C to 19.6°C . Assume the specific heat capacity of ethanol und
just olya [345]

Answer:

There is 17.1 kJ energy required

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethanol = 322.0 grams

Initial temperature = -2.2 °C = 273.15 -2.2 = 270.95K

Final temperature = 19.6 °C = 273.15 + 19.6 = 292.75 K

Specific heat capacity = 2.44 J/g*K

Step 2: Calculate energy

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of ethanol= 322 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat capacity of ethanol = 2.44 J/g*K

⇒ ΔT = T2 - T1 = 292.75 - 270.95 = 21.8 K

Q = 322 * 2.44 * 21.8 = 17127.8 J = 17.1 kJ

There is 17.1 kJ energy required

What mass of iron is formed when 10 grams of carbon react with 80 grams of iron iii oxide?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

55.85 grams of Fe is formed.

Explanation:

Identify the reaction:

2Fe₂O₃  +  3C  →  4Fe  +  3CO₂

Identify the limiting reactant, previously determine the mol of each reactant

(mass / molar mass)

10 g / 12 g/m = 0.83 moles C

80 g / 159.7 g /m = 0.500 moles Fe₂O₃

2 moles of oxide need 3 moles of C, to react

0.5 moles of oxide, will need ( 0.5  . 3)/ 2 = 0.751 mol

I have 0.83 moles of C, so C is the excess.

The limiting is the oxide.

3 mol of C need 2 mol of oxide to react

0.83 mol of C, will need (0.83  . 2)/ 3 = 0.553 mol of oxide, and I only have 0.5 (That's why Fe₂O₃ is the limiting)

Ratio is 2:4 (double)

If I have 0.5 moles of oxide, I will produce the double, in the reaction.

1 mol of Fe, will be produce so its mass is 55.85 g
