Answer:

Pb3O4

Explanation:

According to this question, 3.425g of lead oxide was reduced to form 3.105g of lead in an experiment. Since lead oxide contains both lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) element,

Mass of lead oxide = 3.425g

Mass of lead = 3.105g

Mass of oxygen = (3.425g - 3.105g) = 0.320g

Next, we convert each mass value to mole by dividing by respective molar mass

Pb = 3.105g ÷ 207.2 = 0.0149mol

O = 0.320g ÷ 16 = 0.02mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.0149)

Pb = 0.0149mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1

O = 0.02mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1.342

Multiply each ratio value by 3 to get:

Pb = 1 × 3 = 3

O = 1.342 × 3 = 4.026

The whole number ratio, approximately, of Pb and O is 3:4, hence, their empirical formula is Pb3O4.

Hydrogen atoms absorb energy so that the electrons are excited to n=4. Calculate the wavelength, in

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

the wavelength, in nm, of the photon is 487.5 nm

Explanation:

Given:

n = 4 (excited)

n = 2 (relaxes)

Question: Calculate the wavelength, in nm, λ = ?

First, it is important to calculate the energy of the electron when it excited and then when it relaxes.

$E_{1} =\frac{-13.6}{n^{2} } =\frac{-13.6}{4^{2} } =-0.85eV$ (excited)

$E_{2} =\frac{-13.6}{2^{2} } =-3.4eV$ (relaxes)

The change of energy

ΔE = E₁ - E₂=-0.85 - (-3.4) = 2.55 eV = 4.08x10⁻¹⁹J

For a photon, the wavelength emitted

$\lambda =\frac{hc}{delta(E)}$

Here

h = Planck's constant = 6.63x10⁻³⁴J s

c = speed of light = 3x10⁸m/s

Substituting values:

$\lambda =\frac{6.63x10^{-34}*3x10^{8} }{4.08x10^{-19} } =4.875x10^{-7} m=487.5nm$
