The Lyman series results from excited state hydrogen atoms transiting to

Chemistry

Nutka1998 [239]2 years ago
8 0

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.

A sugar that has the chemical formula C5H10O5 would be characterized as _____.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: a. pentose

Explanation:

a) a pentose  is a monosaccharide that has 5 carbons in its structure, if we look at the question the chemical formula only has 5 carbons, then this is the right answer.

b) an oligosaccharide  is a group of 2 or more monosaccharides (till 5 or 6) then, it will have 10 or more carbons, this is not the right answer

c) a triose  is a monosaccharide that has only three carbons, this is not the right answer.

d) a hexose   is a monosaccharide that has 6 carbons, of course this answer is wrong.

e) a polysaccharide is a group of 6 or more monosaccharides, it will have 20 or more carbons, this answer is wrong.

A gas balloon has a volume of 80.0 mL at 300K, and a pressure of 50.0 kPa. If the pressure changes to 80 kPa and the temperature
fomenos

Answer:  The new volume is 53.3 ml

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas =  50.0 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 80.0 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 80.0 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 300K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 320K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{50.0\times 80.0}{300}=\frac{80.0\times V_2}{320}

V_2=53.3ml

The new volume is 53.3 ml

Explain why mineral oil which is a mixture of hydrocarbons does not dissolve in water
Mkey [24]
Oil molecules like to stick to other oil molecules more than they like to stick to water molecules. This is because mineral oil has nonpolar molecules and water has polar ones.

Brownian motion is
ioda

Answer: A.

Explanation:

Brownian motion is the random motion of a particle as a result of collisions with surrounding gaseous molecules. Diffusiophoresis is the movement of a group of particles induced by a concentration gradient. This movement always flows from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Example:  The movement of pollen grains on still water. Motion of dust motes in a room (though largely influenced by air currents).
