1.

The correct increasing order of the acid strength of benzoic acid (I), 4-nitrobenzoic acid (II), 3,4-dinitrobenzoic acid (III) and 4-methoxybenzoic acid (IV) is

3.

The shortest wavelength of the line in hydrogen atomic spectrum of Lyman series when RH = 109678 cm-1 is

  • 1002.7 Å

  • 1215.67 Å

  • 1127.30 Å

  • 911.7 Å


D.

911.7 Å

According to Rydberg's formula-

1λ = RHZ21n12 - 1n22

For hydrogen, Z = 1 and 

For lyman series, n1 = 1 and n2 = ∞ (for shortest wavelength)

On substituting values, we get

1λ = 109678 × 12 × 112 - 12     = 109678 cm-1

λ   = 1109678 cm-1

     = 9.117 × 10-6 cm

     = 911.7 × 10-8 cm

     = 911.7 Å
