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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Aluminum chloride can be formed from its elements:

saul85 [17]

Answer: The $\Deltas H^o_{formation}$ for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical reaction for the formation reaction of $AlCl_3$ is:

$2Al(s)+3Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3 (s)$ $\Delta H^o_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $HCl(g)\rightarrow HCl(aq.)$ $\Delta H_1=-74.8kJ$ ( × 6)

(2) $H_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2HCl(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-185kJ$ ( × 3)

(3) $AlCl_3(aq.)\rightarrow AlCl_3(s)$ $\Delta H_3=+323kJ$ ( × 2)

(4) $2Al(s)+6HCl(aq.)\rightarrow 2AlCl_3(aq.)+3H_2(g)$ $\Delta H_4=-1049kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $AlCl_3$ is,

$\Delta H^o_{formation}=[6\times \Delta H_1]+[3\times \Delta H_2]+[2\times \Delta H_3]+[1\times \Delta H_4]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{formation}=[(-74.8\times 6)+(-185\times 3)+(323\times 2)+(-1049\times 1)]=-1406.8kJ$

Hence, the $\Deltas H^o_{formation}$ for the reaction is -1406.8 kJ.

Consider the following isotopic abundance data for argon (Ar) and silicon (Si):

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar mass of Argon

= 35.96755 x .00337 + 37.96272 x .00063 + 39.96240 x .99600

= .12121 + .0239165 + 39.80255

= 39.95

Molar mass of silicon

27.97693 x .9223 + 28.97649 x .0467 + 29.97376 x .0310

= 25.803 + 1.35320 + .929

= 28.08

b )

No of atoms of Si in 78.2 g = 78.2 x 6.02 x 10²³ / 28.08

= 16.76 x 10²³ .

c )

42 Ar / 40 Ar = 1.05006

42 Ar / 39.95 = 1.05006

42Ar = 41.95

2 )

C₁₆H₁₅F₂N₃O₄S

Mol weight = 16 x 12 + 1 x 15 + 2 x 19 + 3 x 14 + 4 x 16 + 32

= 192 + 15 + 38 + 42 + 64+ 32

= 383

No of molecules = .078 x 6.02 x 10²³ / 383

= 1.226 x 10²⁰ molecules .
