<span>When the electron in a hydrogen atom transitions from a high energy state to a lower energy state, the energy lost from the electron is used to produce a photon corresponding to the loss of energy. That photon will correspond to exactly 1 wavelength. And since a hydrogen atom has only 1 electron, at any given moment, it can only produce 1 photon. And in order to simultaneously produce 4 photons for 4 spectral lines, that would require a simultaneous transition of 4 electrons which is 3 too many for a hydrogen atom.</span>
Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation): K₃PO₄(aq) → 3K⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq).
K₃PO₄ is potassium phosphate, <span>a water-soluble </span>ionic salt.
In water potassium phosphate, ionic compound, dissociates on positive potassium ion (cations) and negative phosphate ions (anions).
Potassium has positive charge (+1), compound has neutral charge.
Answer:
The cation affects the intensity of the color more than the color of the solution.
Explanation:
According to Beer Lambert law, the intensity of the colour of the solution depends on the concentration of the specie responsible for the colour in the solution.
Let us recall that transition metal compounds are coloured in solution due to electronic transitions.
Therefore, the cation affects the intensity of the color more than the color of the solution.
Answer:
pH = 8.1
Explanation:
Assuming that we are at 25 degrees Celsius, pH + pOH = 14.
We can then plug in the given pOH and solve for pH:
pH + pOH = 14
pH + 5.9 = 14
pH = 14 - 5.9 = 8.1
