Answer:

-1.94  * 10^-18 J

Since the electron moved from a higher to a lower energy level (n = 3 → n = 1) it is an emission.

Explanation:

From Rydberg equation;

E = -RH(1/n^2final - 1/n^2initial)

For a transition from  n = 3 → n = 1

RH = 2.18 * 10^-18 J

E = -(2.18 * 10^-18) (1/1^2 - (1/3^2)

E = -(2.18 * 10^-18) (1-1/9)

E= -(2.18 * 10^-18) (8/9)

E = -1.94  * 10^-18 J

Proteins have a variety of functions within a living cell. Describe at least three of the possible functions of proteins, and ex
prisoha [69]
Three of the functions of proteins are as antibodies, as enzymes and as messengers. As antibodies, they protect the cells from diseases ie they fight diseases. As enzymes, they regulate the chemical reactions within cells, and thirdly they transmit signals as messengers such as hormones do in co-ordinating biological processes. Proteins are so diverse because of their unique 3-D structures which their polymers form from the 20 amino acids available as their building blocks.

How many moles are there in 7.5 L Of H2
True [87]
So multiply number of moles x number of atoms/mole = 1.8066 x 10^24 atoms of H2. One mole of any gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L. So first determine the number of moles of gas you have.
for example do 7
7.5 \div 22.4

How to tell if a compound is ionic or molecular?
zhenek [66]
<span>When naming compounds, the first thing you need to do is decide if the compound is ionic or molecular. *Ionic compounds will contain both metals and non-metals, or at least one polyatomic ion. *Acids will always include the (aq) symbol beside the formula, and the name will include the word acid.</span>
