Neko [114]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The noble gases have 8 valence electrons in their outermost electron shell. In other words, they have full out shells. These elements are highly stable.

Arrange the following H atom electron transitions in order of decreasing wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted:
Katyanochek1 [597]

The decreasing order of wavelengths of the photons emitted or absorbed by the H atom is : b → c → a → d

Rydberg's formula :

                                   \frac{1}{\lambda} = R_h (\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} ),

where  λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from n_1 to n_2 and R_h = 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here n_1 and  n_2 represents the transitions.

(a) n_1 =2 to n_2 = infinity

            \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2}  ) = 109677/4     [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore, \lambda = 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m

(b) n_1=4 to  n_2 = 20

           \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{20^2}  ) = 6580.62

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 / 6580.62 = 0.000152 m

(c) n_1=3 to  n_2 = 10

          \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{10^2}  ) = 11089.56

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 / 11089.56 = 0.00009 m

(d)  n_1=2 to  n_2 = 1

          \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1^2}  ) = - 82257.75

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 /82257.75  = - 0.0000121 m  

[Even though there is a negative sign, the magnitude is only considered because the sign denotes that energy is emitted.]

So the decreasing order of wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted is b → c → a → d.

1.What is the specific heat capacity of granite when 20 kg absorbs 237 000 J of heat energy, causing its temperature to increase
Natalka [10]

<u>Given</u> :

  • Amount = 20 kg
  • Heat energy absorbed = 237,000 J
  • Temperature change = 15 °C

<u>Formula applied</u> :

\boxed {Q = mc \triangle T}

  • Q = absorbed heat
  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat capacity
  • ΔT = temperature change

Let's solve for c !

⇒ 237,000 = 20 × c × 15

⇒ c = 237,000 ÷ 300

⇒ \boxed {c = 790 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}}

∴ The specific heat capacity of granite is <u>790 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹</u>.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid (H,SO) and
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Explanation:

Word equation:

sulfuric acid + ammonium hydroxide  →  ammonium sulfate + water

Chemical equation:

H₂SO₄ + NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

H₂SO₄ + 2NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

The given reaction is the reaction of acid with base. When acid and base react salt and water are produced. In given reaction an acid sulfuric acid and base ammonium hydroxide react and form ammonium sulfate salt and water. The given reaction also follow the law of conservation of mass.

Steps to balance the equation:

Steps 1;

H₂SO₄ + NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + H₂O

H = 7                            H = 10

S = 1                             S = 1

O = 5                           O = 5

N = 1                            N = 2

Step 2:

H₂SO₄ + 2NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + H₂O

H = 12                            H = 10

S = 1                             S = 1

O = 6                           O = 5

N = 2                           N = 2

Step 3:

H₂SO₄ + 2NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

H = 12                            H = 12

S = 1                               S = 1

O = 6                             O = 6

N = 2                             N = 2

What takes longer to melt a small quantity or a large quantity?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

A large quantity

Explanation:

A large quantity will take much longer to melt compared to a small quantity of the same matter.

The rate of melt of a substance is particularly a function of the nature of the substance and the amount of energy supplied to it.

If we assume that we are dealing with different quantities of the same substance, then the one that has more mass will melt faster because less energy would be required to change its state.

A large quantity of matter will take more time to melt.
