Answer:

The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Using Bohr's equation; the energy absorbed by the hydrogen atom can be calculated as follows:

\delta E = (\frac{1}{n_2{^2}} -\frac{1}{n_1^{2}})13.6eV

When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed by the atom.

Lower energy level (n₂) = 3

Higher energy level (n₁) = 5

1 eV = 1.602X10⁻¹⁹ C

\delta E = (\frac{1}{3{^2}} -\frac{1}{5^{2}})13.6X1.602X10^{-19}

ΔE = 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹J

The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom  to transition an electron from n = 3 to n = 5 is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J

The definition of a scale of 1: 166 will mean that the scale of 1 in the model will be equivalent to 166 times the measurement in the real model, therefore we will have that the height would be 166 times smaller than the 179m given:

h = \frac{179m}{166} = 1.078m = 107.8cm

The same for the diameter,

\phi = \frac{48m}{166}= 0.2891m = 28.91cm

The volume of a cylinder is given as

V = (\pi r^2)(h)

V = (\pi (\frac{d}{2})^2)(h)

V = (\pi (\frac{ 28.91}{2})^2)(107.8)

V = 70762.8cm^3

Therefore the volume would be V = 70762.8cm^3
