1. What did Henri Becquerel discover about radiation emitted from uranium salts?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

When Henri Becquerel investigated the newly discovered X-rays in 1896, it led to studies of how uranium salts are affected by light. By accident, he discovered that uranium salts spontaneously emit a penetrating radiation that can be registered on a photographic plate.

When a hydrogen atom makes the transition from the second excited state to the ground state (at -13.6 eV) the energy of the phot
viktelen [127]

Answer : The energy of the photon emitted is, -12.1 eV

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the 'n^{th}' orbit of hydrogen atom.

Formula used :

E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev

where,

E_n = energy of n^{th} orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number  of hydrogen atom = 1

Energy of n = 1 in an hydrogen atom:

E_1=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{1^2}eV=-13.6eV

Energy of n = 2 in an hydrogen atom:

E_3=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{3^2}eV=-1.51eV

Energy change transition from n = 1 to n = 3 occurs.

Let energy change be E.

E=E_-E_3=(-13.6eV)-(-1.51eV)=-12.1eV

The negative sign indicates that energy of the photon emitted.

Thus, the energy of the photon emitted is, -12.1 eV

What is the percent composition of carbon in heptane c7h16
Gnom [1K]

Answer: the percent composition of carbon in heptane is 83.9%

Explanation:

<u>1) Atomic masses of the atoms:</u>

  • C: 12.01 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol

<u>2) Molar mass of heptane:</u>

  • C₇H₁₆: 7 × 12.01 g/mol + 16×1.008 g/mol = 100.2 g/mol

<u>3) Mass of carbon in one mole of heptane:</u>

  • C₇: 7 × 12.01 g/mol = 84.07 g/mol

<u>3) Percent composition of carbon:</u>

  • % = (mass in grams of C) / (mass in grams of C₇H₁₆) × 100 =

           = (84.07 g/ 100.2 g) × 100 = 83.9% ← answer
