How can the difference in the brightness of spectral lines be explained

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The brightness of a line depends on the number of electrons making that transition.

Explanation:

In atomic spectra, some electronic transitions are “forbidden” by the rules of quantum mechanics. That is, <em>some transitions are less probable than others</em>.

The brightness of a given line depends on the number of electrons making that transition.

Allowed transitions will give the brightest lines. The brightness of the other lines will vary depending on how likely the transitions are.

A solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 3.25 × 10-2 m is ________ and has a hydroxide concentration of _______
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To know the acidity of a solution, we calculate the pH value. The formula for pH is given as:

<span>pH = - log [H+]            where H+ must be in Molar</span>

We are given that H+ = 3.25 × 10-2 M

Therefore the pH is:

pH = - log [3.25 × 10-2] 

pH = 1.488

Since pH is way below 7, therefore the solution is acidic.

 

To find for the OH- concentration, we must remember that the product of H+ and OH- is equivalent to 10^-14. Therefore,

[H+]*[OH-] = 10^-14 <span>
</span>[OH-] = 10^-14 / [H+]

[OH-] = 10^-14 / 3.25 × 10-2

[OH-] = 3.08 × 10-13 M

 

Answers:

Acidic

[OH-] = 3.08 <span>× 10-13 M</span>
