I need help doing my lab homework, I missed lab that day because, I was sick and it's due.

Chemical Reactions and Equations Learning objectives To observe physical and chemical properties associated with chemical changes To be able to give evidence for the occurrence of a chemical reaction To write a balanced chemical equation To identify areaction as a combination, decomposition, precipitation, single or double replacement, or combustion reaction ntroduction When a substance undergoes a physical change, it changes its appearance but not its composition. For example, when ice melts to form water, it undergoes a physical change from solid to liquid. In a chemical change, the composition of a substance is changed to give a new substance with different physical and chemical properties. For example, when silver tarnishes, the shiny silver (Ag) changes to a dull gray silver sulfide (AgaS). Not only has the chemical formula changed from Ag to Agus, but also the physical properties (shininess) of the substance have changed. Some examples of physical and chemical changes are listed in Table 1 below. Table 1. Comparison of Physical and Chemical Changes Examples of Physical changes Examples and Evidence of Chemical Changes Change in state (melting, freezing, evaporating Formation of a gas (bubbles) subliming) Formation of a solid (precipitate) Change in size Tearing Change in Color Heat is given off or absorbed A solid dissolving in a solvent In a chemical reaction, atoms in the reactants are rearranged to produce new combinations of atoms in the products. However, the total number of atoms of each element in the reactants is equal to the total number of atoms in the products. This is true according to the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that the total mass remains constant during a chemical reaction. In other words, matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. In a chemical equation, the reactants are shown on the left and the products are on the right. An arrow in between indicates that a chemical reaction occurs. Finally, the physical state of each compound is designated in parentheses after the chemical formula. Solid, liquid, gas, and aqueous (dissolved in water) are shown as(s,(n,(g), and (aq), respectively.

Use a ruler to calibrate the spectral limits in the figure above. In other words, what are the right and left limits in nm, and what is the equation that converts distance on this page in cm to spectral units of nm? This âcalibrationâ will help you with the next item.

Use the NIST Atomic Spectral Database to assign the three bright spectral lines in the hydrogen spectrum.

Abstract This physical chemistry laboratory exercise will have students work with provided emission spectra for several elements and data collected on the NIST Atomic Spectral Database. First, students will develop a method for calculating what wavelengths of visible light are associated with the most intense spectral lines in the provided visible emission spectra. Then, the NIST Atomic Spectral Database will be accessed in order to identify select properties associated with the four most intense spectral lines. Introduction The emission process can be described in two general parts. Initially, energy is absorbed by an atom, and its electrons can be moved into higher energy (excited) states from their ground state The excitedrelectrons then "relax" and drop back to their ground state. Energy lost during an electron's retaxation process is emitted as a photon. Recall that the energy of a photon is photon upper E lower Where Ephoton is the energy of the photon that is emitted when the emitter drops from an upper energy state to a lower energy state, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and v is the wavenumber. Remember that the length units should match for c and v This is a good time to revisit a few concepts. Atoms and molecules possess discrete energy levels their energy levels are quantized and not continuous. Using eq 7.1, it is possible to determine the energy associated with a specific excited state to ground state transition if we can determine the wavelength of emitted light. Also keep in mind that there are selection rules that limit the type of transitions we can expect to observe. All of these points are reflected in an elemental or ionic emission spectrum. The visible light spectrum falls within a fairly narrow range of wavelengths, from approximately 400 to 700 nm. Even so, discrete spectral lines are seen in each element's visible light emission spectrum. Each (take some time to reflect on why that would be), each element also has a unique emission spectrum. This provides a diagnostic tool for determining the composition of a sample. As an example, the elements present in celestial objects can be determined by the light that they produce line represents one possible transition. Since each element has unique energy levels Some of the transitions observed in this lab exercise involve d-orbitals. As such, a discussion regarding d-orbitals and related selection rules is necessary at this point. The first goal is to determine which character table should be used. Start by observing the shape and relative orientations of the d-orbitals. Refer to Figure 1 below

Use the NIST Atomic Spectral Database to assign the four brightest spectral lines for Li and He. In a table, list the transition wavelength, lower and upper state electron configurations, the lower and upper state term symbols, the lower and upper state J 71 values, and the lower and upper state degeneracies (http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/ASD/lines_form.html). Hint, use a minimum Aki value to reduce the number of lines reported by the NIST search.
