Answer:

1.936\times 10^{-18}\ \text{J}

Explanation:

R_h = Rydberg constant = 2.178\times 10^{-18}\ \text{J}

n_i = Initial shell = 3

n_f = Final shell = 1

We have the relation

\Delta E=R_h(\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_i^2})\\\Rightarrow \Delta E=2.178\times 10^{-18}(\dfrac{1}{1^2}-\dfrac{1}{3^2})\\\Rightarrow \Delta E=1.936\times 10^{-18}\ \text{J}

The energy of the photon emitted here is 1.936\times 10^{-18}\ \text{J}.

Complete combustion of 2.60 g of a hydrocarbon produced 8.46 g of co2 and 2.60 g of h2o. what is the empirical formula for the h
zubka84 [21]
1 mole of carbon dioxide contains a mass of 44 g, out of which 12 g are carbon. 
Hence, in this case the mass of carbon in 8.46 g of CO2:
 (12/44) × 8.46 = 2.3073 g
 1 mole of water contains 18 g, out of which 2 g is hydrogen;
Therefore, 2.6 g of water contains;
 (2/18) × 2.6 = 0.2889 g of hydrogen.
Therefore, with the amount of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon we can calculate the empirical formula.
We first calculate the number of moles of each,
Carbon = 2.3073/12  = 0.1923 moles
Hydrogen = 0.2889/1 = 0.2889 moles
Then, we calculate the ratio of Carbon to hydrogen by dividing with the smallest number value;
             Carbon : Hydrogen
  0.1923/0.1923 : 0.2889/0.1923
                       1 :  1.5
                      (1 : 1.5) 2
                     = 2 : 3
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C2H3

What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

                  C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
