Well surely the energy needed to excite the electrons to the 3rd level, is equal to the energy released as they drop back down to the 1st??

ok, but how?? :S

is that what its asking? if so how do i work that out, is it similar to the wa you work out whether a curve crosses the x-axis. thanks

Homework Statement Sketch on the same axis the graphs of y = |x| and y = 2 - x^2. For which values f x is the inequality |x| < 2 - x^2 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I don't really understand what it is asking me to do, I've sketched the two curves, y = |x| 45...

oh ok, so does that mean that the number of moles in 200g of CO2 is 0.2 (kg) / (6.02 x 10^32) all x 3 becuase there are 3 moles per molecule

thank you. i think it was a typing error lol.

Homework Statement three point charges, each of 10^-9 are located at 3 corners of a square of side 20cm. Calculate the electric potential at the forth corner. Homework Equations V = Q / (4(pi)(epsilon 0) r) The Attempt at a Solution Potential because of corner A = 10^-9 / (4...

ok scrap that last post lol, 1 mole of carbon-12 is 12 grams, 1 mole of oxgen-16 is 16 grams, so i still need to know how much of the 200g is carbon. thanks

ok well the ratio of CO2 is 12:32 one mole of C is 6.02x10^23 x 12 one mole of O is 6.03x10^23 x 16 but how do i work out how much of the 200g is carbon? thanks so far!

Homework Statement A 200g sample of CO2 occupies a volume of 110 L at a pressure of 1 atm. a) What is the number of moles in the gas b) What is the temperature? c) if the volume is increased up to 200 L and the temperature is kept constant. what is the new pressure. Homework...

I just tried to sketch the curve whos form is r = cos(theta) but there is not curve!?? when theta = 0, r = 1 when theta = (pi/2), r = 0 when theta = (pi), r = -1 ect so there is no curve! the point I am finding are just on the x or y axis, or on the origin! am i doing something wrong.

ok thanks, when doing cos(theta) woud theta be in radians or degrees?? thanks

Homework Statement i) Express the equation r = 1 + cos(theta) in Cartesian form. ii) Sketch the curve whose equation in polar form is r = cos(theta) Homework Equations x = r cos (theta) y = r sin (theta) The Attempt at a Solution i) x = r cos (theta) = (1 + cos(theta)) cos (theta) y = r...

thankyou! and yes a) was suposed to be \overline{z} lol

this will probably seem like a really stupid question but here goes. If z = 3 + 2i find the following i) z ii) z x z(with a horizontal line above it) iii) z^2 what does the horizontal bar mean, i can't find it in my reivsion books lol. Thanks
