Answer:

the wavelength, in nm, of the photon is 487.5 nm

Explanation:

Given:

n = 4 (excited)

n = 2 (relaxes)

Question: Calculate the wavelength, in nm, λ = ?

First, it is important to calculate the energy of the electron when it excited and then when it relaxes.

E_{1} =\frac{-13.6}{n^{2} } =\frac{-13.6}{4^{2} } =-0.85eV (excited)

E_{2} =\frac{-13.6}{2^{2} } =-3.4eV (relaxes)

The change of energy

ΔE = E₁ - E₂=-0.85 - (-3.4) = 2.55 eV = 4.08x10⁻¹⁹J

For a photon, the wavelength emitted

\lambda =\frac{hc}{delta(E)}

Here

h = Planck's constant = 6.63x10⁻³⁴J s

c = speed of light = 3x10⁸m/s

Substituting values:

\lambda =\frac{6.63x10^{-34}*3x10^{8}  }{4.08x10^{-19} } =4.875x10^{-7} m=487.5nm

Describe the energy transferred in the endothermic reactions
romanna [79]
These are reactions that take in energy from the surroundings (ie energy enters the reaction, which will help you to remember the name endothermic). The energy is usually transferred as heat energy, causing the reaction mixture and its surroundings to become colder.

Write the structure of the following compound:<br>=&gt; 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropane
Rudiy27

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The IUPAC system of nomenclature enables the structure of molecules to be written seamlessly from the name of the compound. Hence it is commonly called the systematic nomenclature.

The parent chain here is propane. It is substituted at the 2- position by a methyl group and at the 3-position by 4-chlorophenyl group as we can see in the image attached to this answer.
