Nuetrik [128]3 years ago

Answer: If a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\

This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength.

As it is given that energy of a hydrogen atom and a helium atom is same.

Let us assume that E_{hydrogen} = E_{helium} = E'. Hence, relation between their wavelengths will be calculated as follows.

E_{hydrogen} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{hydrogen}}    ... (1)

E_{helium} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{helium}}         ... (2)

Equating the equations (1) and (2) as follows.

E_{hydrogen} = E_{helium} = E'\\\frac{hc}{\lambda_{hydrogen}} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{helium}} = E'\\\lambda_{helium} = \lambda_{hydrogen} = E'

Thus, we can conclude that if a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.

At a given temperature, the elementary reaction A --->B in the forward direction is first order in A with a rate constant of
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction A ⇒ B is Kc = 1.72 × 10³.

The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction B ⇒ A is K'c = 5.81 × 10⁻⁴.

Explanation:

For the reaction A ⇒ B, the equilibrium constant (Kc) is equal to the forward rate constant (kf) divided by the reverse rate constant (ki).

Kc=\frac{kf}{ki} =\frac{1.60 \times 10^{2} s^{-1}   }{ 9.30 \times 10^{-2} s^{-1}} =1.72 \times 10^{3}

If we consider the inverse reaction B ⇒ A, its equilibrium constant (K'c) is the inverse of the forward reaction equilibrium constant.

K'c=\frac{1}{Kc} =\frac{1}{1.72 \times 10^{3}  } =5.81 \times 10^{-4}

Which element could be included in a hydrocarbon?<br><br> Ca<br><br> Zn<br><br> Cl<br><br> Sn
Vilka [71]
Ca.

Hydrogen and Carbon combined
Zn = zinc which is a metal, not a carbon atom
Cl=chlorine, just not a carbon atom
Sn isn’t a carbon atom.
I Am positive that it is Ca because Ca means carbon
