Harrizon [31]3 years ago

Answer: The empirical formula is PbO_2

Explanation:

Mass of Pb =  4.33 g

Mass of O = (5.00-4.33) g = 0.67 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles

Moles of Pb =\frac{\text{ given mass of Pb}}{\text{ molar mass of Pb}}= \frac{4.33g}{207g/mole}=0.021moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{0.67g}{16g/mole}=0.042moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Pb = \frac{0.021}{0.021}=1

For O = \frac{0.042}{0.021}=2

The ratio of Pb O=  1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is PbO_2

An electron in the hydrogen atom makes a transition from an energy state of principal quantum number ni to the n = 2 state. If t
topjm [15]

Answer:

\boxed{3}

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation gives the wavelength λ for the transitions:

\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R \left ( \dfrac{1}{n_{i}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )

where

R= the Rydberg constant (1.0974 ×10⁷ m⁻¹) and

\text{$n_{i}$ and $n_{f}$ are the numbers of the energy levels}

Data:

n_{f} = 2

λ = 657 nm

Calculation:  

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1}{657 \times 10^{-9}} & = & 1.0974 \times 10^{7}\left ( \dfrac{1}{2^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )\\\\1.522 \times 10^{6} &= &1.0974\times10^{7}\left(\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )\\\\0.1387 & = &\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \\\\-0.1113 & = & -\dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \\\\n_{f}^{2} & = & \dfrac{1}{0.1113}\\\\n_{f}^{2} & = & 8.98\\n_{f} & = & 2.997 \approx \mathbf{3}\\\end{array}\\\text{The value of $n_{i}$ is }\boxed{\mathbf{3}}

Compared to the charge of a proton the charge of an electron has
mart [117]

Answer:

Compared to the charge of proton the charge of an electron is negative.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Neutron and proton

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n⁰  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg
