Calculate the wavelength, in nanometers, of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom when its electron falls from the n = 7 to the n

= 4 principal energy level. Recall that the energy levels of the H atom are given by En = –2.18 × 10–18 J(1/n2)

Answer:

The wavelength of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom for the given transition is 2166 nm.

Explanation:

The energy of nth energy levels of the H atom is given as:

E_n = -2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{n^2} J

Energy of the seventh energy level = E_7

E_7=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{7^2} J

E_7=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{7^2} J=-4.4490\times 10^{-20} J

Energy of the seventh energy level = E_4

E_4=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{4^2} J

E_4=-2.18 \times 10^{-18} \times \frac{1}{16} J=-1.3625\times 10^{-19} J

Energy of the light emitted will be equal to the energy difference of the both levels.

E=E_7-E_4=-4.4490\times 10^{-20} J-(-1.3625\times 10^{-19} J)

E=9.176\times 10^{-20} J

Wavelength corresponding to energy E can be calculated by using Planck's equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

\lambda =\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{9.176\times 10^{-20}  J}=2.166\times 10^{-6} m=2166 nm

The wavelength of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom for the given transition is 2166 nm.

A sample of diborane gas (B2H6), a substance that bursts into flame when exposed to air, has a pressure of 345 torr at a tempera
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The final volume is 3.07L

Explanation:

The general gas law will be used:

P1V1 /T1 = P2V2 /T2

V2 =P1 V1 T2 / P2 T1

Give the variables to the standard unit:

P1 = 345 torr = 345 /760 atm = 0.4539atm

T1 = -15°C = -15 + 273 = 258K

V1 = 3.48L

T2 = 36°C = 36+ 273 = 309K

P2 = 468 torr = 468 * 1/ 760 atm = 0.6158atm

V2 = ?

Equate the values into the gas equation, you have:

V2 = 0.4539 * 3.48 * 309 / 0.6158 * 258

V2 = 488.0877 /158.8764

V2 = 3.07

The final volume is 3.07L

How do you tell by the formula that an element on the periodic table is a metal
Dmitrij [34]
The metalloids are on the right side of the periodic table B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, and At. The nonmetals are also on the right side next to the metalloids, there should be a He at the top right of the periodic table and there should be one more nonmetal at the top left of the periodic table that is H. And from the metals they are all on the middle next to the metalloids, starting from Li, Be, Na, and Mg as so on all of those are metals.

Place the following in order of increasing molar entropy at 298 K.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

SO < CO2 < C3H8

Explanation:

Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system. The standard molar entropy of a substance refers to the entropy of 1 mole of the substance vunder standard conditions.

The molar entropy depends on the number of microstates in the system which in turn depends on the number of atoms in the molecule.

C3H8 has 11 atoms and hence the highest number of microstates followed by CO2 having three atoms and least of all SO having only two atoms.
