Answer:

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Bohr's atomic model

         E = - 13.606 / n²

where is the value of 13.606 eV is the energy of the ground state and n is the integer.

The energy acquired by the electron in units of electron volt (eV)

          E = e V

          E = 12.5 eV

all this energy is used to transfer an electron from the ground state to an excited state

        ΔE = 13.6060 (1 / n₀² - 1 / n²)

the ground state has n₀ = 1

       ΔE = 13.606 (1 -  1/n²)

        1 /n² = 1 - ΔE/13,606

         1 / n² = 1 - 12.5 / 13.606

         1 / n² = 0.08129

          n = √(1 / 0.08129)

          n = 3.5

 since n is an integer, maximun is

         n = 3

because it cannot give more energy than the electron has

From this level there can be transition to reach the base state.

 

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1

A chef sanitized a thermometer probe and then checked the temperature of minestrone soup being held in a hot-holding unit. the t
ss7ja [257]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A corrective action is defined as the action with the help of which a person can avoid a difficulty or problem that he/she was facing earlier.

For example, when the chef checked the temperature of soup using thermometer then it was 120 but his operation's critical limit was 135.

So, to avoid this problem he heated the soup to 165 at 15 seconds following which he got the result as desired.

Therefore, reheating the soup was his corrective action.

Thus, we can conclude that reheating the soup was the corrective action.

What happens when you change the number of electrons in an atom
aalyn [17]
<h2>Answer: It becomes an Ion </h2>

When an atom has gained or lost electrons (negative charge), it becomes an ion.

In this sense:

<h2>Ions are atoms that have <u>gained or lost</u> electrons in their electronic cortex. </h2><h2> </h2>

If a neutral atom <u>loses electrons</u>, it remains with an excess of positive charge and transforms into a positive ion or <u>cation</u>, whereas if a neutral atom <u>gains electrons</u>, it acquires an excess of negative charge and transforms into a negative ion or <u>anion</u>.

It is then how ions form bonds with other atoms differently depending on the number of electrons they have.

Is Radioactive decay a way to find the relative age of a rock?<br><br> True<br> False
galina1969 [7]
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

Water (density = 1 ´ 103 kg/m3) flows at 10 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.030 m. the pipe goes up to the second floor of the
Hatshy [7]

density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

velocity of flow = 10 m/s

radius of pipe = 0.030 m

Height of second floor = 2 m

Now we can use here Bernuoli's Equation to find the speed of water flow at second floor

P_1 + 1/2\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1= P_2 + 1/2 \rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2

P + 1/2 * 1000 * 10^2 + 1000* 9.8 * 0 = P + 1/2 * 1000 * v^2 + 1000*9.8*2

v = 7.8 m/s

Now in order to find the radius of pipe we can use equation of continuity

A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2

\pi *0.030^2 * 10 = \pi * r^2 * 7.8

r = 0.034 m

So radius of pipe at second floor is 0.034 meter
