Answer:

59.077 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

  • From Arrhenius law: <em>K = Ae(-Ea/RT)</em>

where, K is the rate constant of the reaction.

A is the Arrhenius factor.

Ea is the activation energy.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature.

  • At different temperatures:

<em>ln(k₂/k₁) = Ea/R [(T₂-T₁)/(T₁T₂)]</em>

k₂ = 3k₁ , Ea = ??? J/mol, R = 8.314 J/mol.K, T₁ = 294.0 K, T₂ = 308.0 K.

ln(3k₁/k₁) = (Ea / 8.314 J/mol.K) [(308.0 K - 294.0 K) / (294.0 K x 308.0 K)]

∴ ln(3) = 1.859 x 10⁻⁵ Ea

∴ Ea = ln(3) / (1.859 x 10⁻⁵) = 59.077 kJ/mol.

How does chemistry affect our world?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Research is constantly deepening our understanding of chemistry, and leading to new discoveries. Chemistry will help us solve many future problems, including sustainable energy and food production, managing our environment, providing safe drinking water and promoting human and environmental health.Chemistry is a big part of your everyday life. You find chemistry in daily life in foods you eat, air you breathe, soap, your emotions and literally every object you can see or touch. ... Food is made from chemicals. Many of the changes you observe in the world around you are caused by chemical reactions.By observing chemical reactions, we are able to understand and explain how the natural world works. Chemical reactions turn food into fuel for your body, make fireworks explode, cause food to change when it is cooked, make soap remove grime, and much more.

What is the longest wavelength in the Balmer series? (Hint: the Rydberg constant for Hydrogen is 1.096776×107 1/m, and the Balme
boyakko [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}

n_f = Higher energy level = n_i+1=(2+1)=3

n_i= Lower energy level = 2    (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.5233\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.565\times 10^{-7}m

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

1m=10^9nm

So, 6.565\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656.5nm

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm
