Explain why a single atom of hydrogen cannot produce all four hydrogen spectral lines simultaneously.

Chemistry

brilliants [131]3 years ago

<span>When the electron in a hydrogen atom transitions from a high energy state to a lower energy state, the energy lost from the electron is used to produce a photon corresponding to the loss of energy. That photon will correspond to exactly 1 wavelength. And since a hydrogen atom has only 1 electron, at any given moment, it can only produce 1 photon. And in order to simultaneously produce 4 photons for 4 spectral lines, that would require a simultaneous transition of 4 electrons which is 3 too many for a hydrogen atom.</span>

Place the following substances in Order of decreasing boiling point H20 N2 CO
kirill [66]

Answer:

-195.8º < -191.5º < 100º

Explanation:

Water, or H20, starts boiling at 100ºC.

Nitrogen, or N2, starts boiling at -195.8ºC.

Carbon monoxide, or C0, starts boiling at -191.5ºC.

When we place these in order from decreasing boiling point:

-195.8º goes first, then -191.5º, and 100º goes last.

How many ml of a 2.0 m nabr solution are needed to make 200.0 ml of 0.50 m nabr?
gogolik [260]

To solve this we use the equation,

 

<span> M1V1 = M2V2</span>

 

<span> where M1 is the concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2 is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.</span>

 

<span>2.0 M x V1 = 0.50 M x 200 mL</span>

<span>V1 = 50 mL needed</span>
