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.

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.
mezya [45]
PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:

In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:

Se = x

O = -2

x + (-2)*2 = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = +4.

Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.

In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.
