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}

Which of the following are always larger than the neutral atoms from which they are formed?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A) Cations

Explanation:

a) Cations have a positive charge and are larger than their neutral counterparts!

b) Anions have a negative charge and are smaller than their neutral counterparts

c) Metals can have either a positive or negative charge making it either a cation or an anion

d) Carbon is an element and it can have a charge anywhere from +4 to -4

A good way to remember that cations are positive is to think that CATions are always PAWSitive! ^-^

Which of the following represents the smallest mass? I.) 23 cg II.) 2.3 x 10-3 μg III.) 0.23 mg IV.) 0.23 g V.) 2.3 x 10-2 kg​
jenyasd209 [6]

The smallest mass among the choices is Choice (ii):2.3 x 10-3 μg

This is so because, the prefix μ signifies a factor of 10^-6.

For choice I:

  • 23 cg means 23 centigrams

  • In essence = 0.23grams

For choice II:

  • 2.3 × 10-3 μg means 2.3 × 10-9 grams

For choice III:

  • 0.23 mg means 0.23 × 10-3 grams

For choice IV:

  • 0.23 grams simply means 0.23grams

For choice V:

  • 2.3 × 10-2 kg means 23 grams

Ultimately, Choice II represents the smallest mass.

A 10-ft moving truck has a volume capacity of 402 cubic feet, which is equivalent to 1.138 x 10⁷ milliliters. What mass of silve
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The mass of silver is 1.19\times 10^{14}\ Mg

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the truck is 402 cubic feet or 1.138 x 10⁷ mm.

The density of silver is 10.49 g/mL.

We need to find the mass of silver that will fit in this moving truck. Density equals mass divided by volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\\text{where m is mass}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=10.49\ g/mL\times 1.138 \times 10^7\ mL\\\\m=119376200\ g

1 gram = 10⁻⁶ Megagram

119376200=1.19\times 10^{14}\ Mg

Hence, the mass of silver is 1.19\times 10^{14}\ Mg

Which of the following describes the cause of acid rain?
taurus [48]

Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.
