Explain why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength

Chemistry
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels to a lower one</em>, the excess energy is emitted as a photon of light, with its wavelength dependent on the change in electron energy. This is why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

East

Explanation:

Given Newton's third law of motion; "Action and reaction are equal and opposite", when a student jumps off a sled toward the west after it stops at the bottom of an icy hill, the sled will move in the East direction.

This is because, the force exerted on the sled is a reaction force and is opposite in direction to the force that thrusts the boy westward though equal in magnitude with the former.

2NOCl(g) ↔ 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) with K = 1.6 x10–5. In an experiment, 1.00 mole of pure NOCl and 1.00 mole of pure Cl2 are placed in
poizon [28]

Answer: 3.8\times 10^{-3}M

Explanation:

Moles of  NOCl = 1 mole

Moles of  Cl_2 = 1 mole

Volume of solution = 1 L

Initial concentration of NOCl = 1 M

Initial concentration of Cl_2 = 1 M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                  2NOCl(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)

Initial conc.          1 M                      0M          1 M

At eqm. conc.     (1-2x) M              (2x) M       (1+x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[NO]^2[Cl_2]}{[NOCl]^2}

The K_c= 1.6\times 10^{-5}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

{1.6\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{(2x)^2\times (1+x)}{(1-2x)^2}

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x=0.0019

Concentration of NO at equilibrium= (2x) M  =  2\times 0.0019=3.8\times 10^{-3}M
