The Balmer series consists of the spectral lines from hydrogen for an electron making a transition from an excited state to the

m = 2 state. The Lyman series consists of the spectral lines from hydrogen for an electron making a transition from an excited state to the m = 1 state. Determine the wavelengths of the first four spectral lines of the Lyman series (n = 2, 3, 4, and 5)

Answer:

Wavelength of the first four spectral line:

\lambda_1=1216{\AA}

\lambda_2=1026{\AA}

\lambda_3=972.8{\AA}

\lambda_4=950{\AA}

Explanation:

Lman series when electron from higher shell number and jumps to 1st shell then all the possible lines is called as lyman series.

to calculate wavelength of first four spectral line:

For hydrogen Z=1;

by using rydberg equation

\frac{1}{\lambda} =RZ^2[\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} ]

1. n=2 to n=1

\frac{1}{\lambda} =RZ^2[\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} ]

\frac{1}{R} =912{\AA} =rydberg constant

\lambda=\frac{4}{3R}

\lambda_1=1216{\AA}

2. n=3 to n=1

\lambda=\frac{9}{8R}

\lambda_2=1026{\AA}

3. n=4 to n=1

\lambda=\frac{16}{15R}

\lambda_3=972.8{\AA}

4. n=5 to n=1

\lambda=\frac{25}{24R}

\lambda_4=950{\AA}

One brand of vinegar has a pH of 4.5. Another brand has a pH of 5.0. The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], wh
grigory [225]
[H+] in first brand:
4.5 = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-4.5)

[H+] in second brand:
5 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 10^(-5)

Difference = 10^(-4.5) - 10^(-5)
= 2.2 x 10⁻⁵

The answer is A.

How many molecules are there in 8.25 moles of CaHia?
expeople1 [14]

The number of molecules : 4.967 x 10²⁴

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions)  in a substance

This refers to the atomic total of the 12 gr C-12  which is equal to 6.02.10²³, so 1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles  

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number

8.25 moles of C₈H₁₈

The number of molecules :

\tt 8.25\times 6.02\times 10^{23}=4.967\times 10^{24}
