Simplified. The absorption spectra of ions have been used to identify the presence of the elements in the atmospheres of the sun

and other stars. What is the energy of a photon (in J) that is absorbed by He+ ions, when an electron is excited from the Bohr orbit with n = 1 to the n = 4 state? The energy of an electron in the nth level is

Answer : The energy of a photon absorbed by He^+ ions is 8.18\times 10^{-18}J

Explanation :

The energy of an electron in the nth level is,

E_n=-\frac{BZ^2}{n^2}

where,

E_n = energy of an electron in the nth level

B = constant = 2.18\times 10^{-18}J

n = number of energy level

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons

First we have to calculate the energy of an electron for n = 1 level.

E_1=-\frac{BZ^2}{1^2}

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons for helium atom = 2

E_1=-\frac{(2.18\times 10^{-18})\times (2)^2}{1^2}

E_1=-8.72\times 10^{-18}J

Now we have to calculate the energy of an electron for n = 4 level.

E_4=-\frac{BZ^2}{4^2}

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons for helium atom = 2

E_4=-\frac{(2.18\times 10^{-18})\times (2)^2}{4^2}

E_4=-5.45\times 10^{-19}J

Now we have to calculate the energy of a photon that is absorbed by He^+ ions.

E=E_4-E_1

E=(-5.45\times 10^{-19})-(-8.72\times 10^{-18})

E=8.18\times 10^{-18}J

Therefore, the energy of a photon absorbed by He^+ ions is 8.18\times 10^{-18}J

Use Lewis theory to determine the chemical formula for the compound formed between Sr and N.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Sr_3N_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Lewis theory is based on the bonds formation between atoms via the valence electrons, we can verify the chemical formula of the compound formed by strontium and nitrogen by noticing that strontium has two valence electrons as it is in group IIA, for that reason, two nitrogens should be available for bonding. Therefore, since nitrogen is in group VA, it is said that three electrons are required to attain the octet (maximum amount bonded electrons), for that reason, three strontiums are should be available for bonding. In such a way, the formula should be:

Sr_3N_2

Regards.

How many moles of carbon are in 3.7 moles of C 8 H11 NO2
Dafna1 [17]
In every molecule of C_{8} H_{11}NO_2 there is 8 atoms of Carbon.

IF we have 3.7 moles of C_{8} H_{11}NO_2 to find the number of moles of Carbon, just multiply by 8

3.7 * 8 = 29.6 mol Carbon

Select the three most acidic hydrogen atoms in lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)CO2H, and rank them in order of decreasing acidity. Explain
Olin [163]
It is easier to determine this if we draw the structural formula of lactic acid as shown in the attached picture. There are three functional groups in lactic acid: carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and the parent alkane chain. Any of the hydrogens in the alkane chain is the least acidic. Then, it is followed by the H in the hydroxyl group. The most acidic is the H in the carboxyl group.
