Answer:

B. A rate constant

Explanation:

The mathematical expression of rate law is given below,

Rate = K[A]m[B]n

This rate law show the relationship between the rate of chemical reaction and concentration of reactants.

In given equation [A] and [B] are molar concentration of reactants while K represent rate constant.

The value of K is specific for particular reaction at particular temperature,

m and n are represent exponents and determine experimentally. The value of K is not depend upon the concentrations of reactant but depend upon the surface area and temperature

Consider a transition of the electron in the hydrogen atom from n=3 to n=7.

kow [346]

Answer:

For a: The wavelength of light is $1.005\times 10^{-6}m$

For b: The light is getting absorbed

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = $1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}$

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = 7

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 3

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{7^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =1.005\times 10^{-6}m$

Hence, the wavelength of light is $1.005\times 10^{-6}m$

For b:

There are two ways in which electrons can transition between energy levels:

Absorption spectra: This type of spectra is seen when an electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level. In this process, energy is absorbed.
Emission spectra: This type of spectra is seen when an electron jumps from higher energy level to lower energy level. In this process, energy is released in the form of photons.

As, the electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level. The wavelength is getting absorbed.

The activation energy for the isomerization ol cyclopropane to propene is 274 kJ/mol. By what factor does the rate of this react

Bond [772]

Answer:

The rate of the reaction increased by a factor of 1012.32

Explanation:

Applying Arrhenius equation

ln(k₂/k₁) = Ea/R(1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

where;

k₂/k₁ is the ratio of the rates which is the factor

Ea is the activation energy = 274 kJ/mol.

T₁ is the initial temperature = 231⁰C = 504 k

T₂ is the final temperature = 293⁰C = 566 k

R is gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol

Substituting this values into the equation above;

ln(k₂/k₁) = 274000/8.314(1/504 - 1/566)

ln(k₂/k₁) = 32956.4589 (0.00198-0.00177)

ln(k₂/k₁) = 6.92

k₂/k₁ = exp(6.92)

k₂/k₁ = 1012.32

The rate of the reaction increased by 1012.32

When cells are dividing, it is

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Chromosome is basically made of DNA and proteins.

Explanation:

Chromosomes contain thread like structure present inside the nucleus of the cell.Chromosome is generally made of DNA and proteins(Histone proteins).

The DNA is wrapped around the basic protein histone to provide support the chromosome structure.

The wrapping of DNA around the histone proteins helps in the formation of nucleosome which helps in the packing of DNA inside the chromosome.

What is the last energy level of N? Mg?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

To infer the last energy of the given atoms, we need to write their electronic configuration:

For N = 1S² 2S² 2P³

Mg = 1S² 2S² 2P⁶ 3S²

The energy levels are usually designated as;

n = 1

n = 2

n = 3

n =4

For N, the last energy level is 2

Mg, the last energy level is 3

We can also determine this number by the periods the atoms can be found.
