Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

The electron in a hydrogen atom, originally in level n = 8, undergoes a transition to a lower level by emitting a photon of wave
timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The electron in a hydrogen atom, originally in level n = 8, undergoes a transition to a lower level by emitting a photon of wavelength 3745 nm. It means that,

n_i=8

\lambda=3745\ nm

The amount of energy change during the transition is given by :

\Delta E=R_H[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_i^2}]

And

\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=R_H[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_i^2}]

Plugging all the values we get :

\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3745\times 10^{-9}}=2.179\times 10^{-18}[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{8^2}]\\\\\dfrac{5.31\times 10^{-20}}{2.179\times 10^{-18}}=[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{8^2}]\\\\0.0243=[\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{64}]\\\\0.0243+\dfrac{1}{64}=\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}\\\\0.039925=\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}\\\\n_f^2=25\\\\n_f=5

So, the final level of the electron is 5.

As a pilot is flying in level flight at 9,500 ft, the altimeter in the instrument panel is set to a pressure of 29.48 mm of Hg.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

from the ideal gas law, P2 /P1 = T2 /T1 for the same volume and quantity of gas. P2 = (758 mmHg) (45 +273 K) / (15 +273K) = 837 mmHg.
