Emission Spectroscopy In-Lab Assignment Before you leave lab, you will need 4 things (they can be done in any order). 1. Hydrogen emission data (spectra & calculations) 2. Nightlight emission data 3. Spectra for Lithium and Potassium 4. Spectra for at least two sparklers, but you can do all three 1. Hydrogen Gas Emission Using the equations below, calculate the theoretical wavelength for the transitions in the table (copy from the lecture assignment), then measure the experimental values from the hydrogen tube. Observations: bright reddish-pink light emitted. Light appears white on edges of the pink light Table 1. Theoretical and Experimental Wavelengths for Hydrogen Gas Emission. Transition Theoretical Wavelength (nm) Experimental Wavelength (nm) Relative Deviation n=3 n=2 654.9 651.1 0.59% n=4 n=2 485.1 481.3 0.79% n=5 n=2 433.2 Only 2 peaks available at time of recording due to lifespan of tube FROM THE LAB HANDOUT, for your reference: For hydrogen, the final state is n=2, and the initial states will be n=3, 4, 5, etc. Note that the change in energy will be negative. This is simply showing that energy is emitted rather than absorbed, so the absolute value of the change in energy should be used for the rest of the calculations. We can calculate the change in energy when an electron is emitted by using the following equation: Once we know the change in energy, we can use that to predict the wavelength: Downloaded by Darinesha White (darinesha16@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|28564377
