It shows the type of atoms/elements in a substance

Different types of atoms have different emission spectrum - a concept supported by Bohr quantum theory - hence one is able to identify elements in a substance using a method called spectroscopy.

Explanation:

When an electron jumps from a low energy orbital to a higher energy orbital in an atom, it absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation (This is called absorption spectrum). Vice versa, if the same electron jumps from a higher to a lower energy orbital it releases the equivalent quantum energy in electromagnetic wave (This is called emission spectrum). Different types of atoms of different elements have a unique spectrum identifier.

Answer:

Group B elements

Explanation:

Group B metals are referred to as transition metals. They are located in the middle of the periodic table between Group IIA and Group IIIA. They provide transition between the "base formers" on the left and "acid formers" on the right.

Answer : The value of $\Delta G^o$ and K is, -180 kJ/mol and $3.6\times 10^{31}$

Explanation :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Pb(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(g)$

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation reaction (anode) : $Pb(s)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction reaction (cathode) : $2Ag^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(g)$

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.93 V

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times 0.93$

$\Delta G^o=-179490J/mol=-179.49kJ/mol\approx -180kJ/mol$

Now we have to calculate the value of 'K'.

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K$

where,

$\Delta G_^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = -180 kJ/mol

R = gas constant = $8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K$

T = temperature = 298 K

K = equilibrium constant = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$-180kJ/mol=-(8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K)\times (298K)\times \ln K$

$K=3.6\times 10^{31}$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G^o$ and K is, -180 kJ/mol and $3.6\times 10^{31}$
