The Lyman series results from excited state hydrogen atoms transiting to

Answer:

I can't draw diagrams on this web site but I can do with numbers I think. So an electron is moved from n = 1 to n = 5. I'm assuming I've interpreted the problem correctly; if not you will need to make a correction. I'm assuming that you know the electron in the n = 1 state is the ground state so the 4th exited state moves it to the n = 5 level.

n = 5 4th excited state

n = 4 3rd excited state

n = 3 2nd excited state

n = 2 1st excited state

n = 1 ground state

Here are the possible spectral lines.

n = 5 to 4, n = 5 to 3, n = 5 to 2, n = 5 to 1 or 4 lines.

n = 4 to 3, 4 to 2, 4 to 1 = 3 lines

n = 3 to 2, 3 to 1 = 2 lines

n = 2 to 1 = 1 line. Add 'em up. I get 10.

b. The Lyman series is from whatever to n = 1. Count the above that end in n = 1.

c.The E for any level is -21.8E-19 Joules/n^2

To find the E for any transition (delta E) take E for upper n and subtract from the E for the lower n and that gives you delta E for the transition.

So for n = 5 to n = 1, use -Efor 5 -(-Efor 1) = + something which I'll leave for you. You could convert that to wavelength in meters with delta E = hc/wavelength. You might want to try it for the Balmer series (n ending in n = 2). I think the red line is about 650 nm.

What family are the elements carbon, germanium and lead in?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Damian here!! :))

The carbon family consists of the elements carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). Atoms of elements in this group have four valence electrons. The carbon family is also known as the carbon group, group 14, or the tetrels. Elements in this family are of key importance for semiconductor technology.

Hope this helps? :))

2C8H18 (1) + 2502 (g) --> 16CO2 (g) + 18H2O (g)
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

One gallon of octane produces approximately 7000 L of carbon dioxide.

Note:

I believe that the mass of octane should have been given as 2661 g. However, I understand that your instructor probably gave you this problem, so I will use 4000 g for the approximate mass of one gallon of octane. You can rework the problem on your own, substituting the correct masses of octane if you wish.

Step1. You must first determine the number of moles that are in 4000 g of octane, using the molar mass of octane. Step 2. Then you must determine the number of moles of carbon dioxide that can be produced by that number of moles of octane, based on the mole ratio between octane and carbon dioxide in the balanced equation. Step 3. Then use the ideal gas law to determine the volume in liters of carbon dioxide that can be formed.
