Calculate the frequency of the n = 2 line in the Lyman series of hydrogen.

1 answer:

5 0

Layman series describe the ultraviolet emission lines that the hydrogen atom emits when an electron is moved from a higher energy level to level 1.

For n = 2
The wavelength = 121.5 nm
velocity = wavelength * frequency
frequency = velocity / wavelength
frequency = (3 * 10^8) / (121.5 * 10^9) = 2.469 * 10^15 Hz

I'm a really stuck in this. I kind of suck in chemistry, please help me. I would really appreciate it.

<span>Group 1 can be characterized as atoms that have 1 electron in their valence shell. This is valuable when dealing with these questions, because the loss or gain of valence electrons is what defines ionic relationships. When group 1 elements form ionic bonds with other atoms, they are extremely likely to lose their valence electron, since the nucleus has a weaker pull on it than, say, a chlorine atom has on its 7 valence electrons. The weaker pull between the nucleus and the valence electron of group 1 elements means that the radius is high, since the electron is more free to move with less pull on it. This also means that the first ionization energy is low, since it takes relatively little energy for that electron to be pulled away to another atom.</span>

We gave an object with a density of 620 g/cm^3 and a volume of 75cm^3. What is the mass of this object?

Hitman42 [59]

$d=\frac{m}{V} \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ m=dV\\\\
d=620\frac{g}{cm^{3}}\\
V=75cm^{3}\\\\\
m=620\frac{g}{cm^{3}}*75cm^{3}=46500g$

For the reaction at 298 K, 2NO2(g) N2O4(g) the values of ΔH° and ΔS° are -58.03 kJ and -176.6 J/K, respectively. Calculate the v

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

$\Delta G^o=-5.4032 kJ$

The temperature for $\Delta G^o=0[/tex is [tex]T=328.6 K$

Explanation:

The three thermodinamic properties (enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs's energy) are linked in the following formula:

$\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o + T*\Delta S^o$

Where:

$\Delta G^o$ is Gibbs's energy in kJ

$\Delta H^o$ is the enthalpy in kJ

$\Delta S^o$ is the entropy in kJ/K

$T$ is the temperature in K

Solving:

$\Delta G^o=-58.03 kJ - 298K*-0.1766 kJ/K$

$\Delta G^o=-5.4032 kJ$

For $\Delta G^o=0$ :

$0=\Delta H^o - T*\Delta S^o$

$\Delta H^o= T*\Delta S^o$

$T=\frac{\Delta H^o}{\Delta S^o}$

$T=\frac{-58.03 kJ}{-0.1766 kJ/K}$

$T=328.6 K$

Choose ALL TRUE statements about calorimetry from the choices below:

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

True statment

2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter

3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter

Explanation:

The calorimeter is one which is insulated that is which will not absorb or let the heat to escape from it. the calorimeter is used to measure the heat change during a process so if it will allow to exchange heat with surrounding it will deviate the readings or observence.

Copper is a good conductor of heat so we cannot use it make a calorimeter.

Hence

1) Copper would make a good calorimeter : False

2) Styrofoam would make a good calorimeter: True

Styrofoam is a bad conductor or insulator so it can be and it is used for calorimeter.

3) Insulating material would make a good calorimeter : True

4) A good calorimeter should easily absorb heat : false
