<span>First divide the ionization energy by Avogadro's number to get the energy per atom of potassium;
</span>419 kj/mol / 6.023 x 10²³
= 4.19 x 10⁵ / 6.023 x 10²³ = 6.96 x 10⁻¹⁹
E = hc/λ
where lambda (λ<span>) is the wavelength, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light 
</span>E = 6.96 x 10⁻¹⁹ j/atom<span>
h =</span>6.63x10⁻³⁴<span> Js
c = 3 x 10</span>⁸ m/s
λ = ?
λ = hc/E = (6.63x10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ ) / 6.96 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 285.8nm = 286nm
<span>The longest wavelength of light capable of this ionization is 286nm.</span>

What type of forces allow for an object to stay at rest or continue at constant velocity.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:Inertia is the property of a body to remain at rest or to remain in motion with constant velocity. Some objects have more inertia than others because the inertia of an object is equivalent to its mass.

A scientist finds that a sample of matter contains three types of atoms. The sample can be any of the following, except:
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or <em>elemental substance</em> - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains <u>three types of atoms</u>, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.

A particular reaction, A- products, has a rate that slows down as the reaction proceeds. The half-life of the reaction is found
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

Half life of zero order and second order depends on the initial concentration. But as the given reaction slows down as the reaction proceeds, therefore, it must be second order reaction. This is because rate of reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of the reactant.

a. As it is a second order reaction, therefore, doubling reactant concentration, will increase the rate of reaction 4 times. Therefore, the statement  a is wrong.

b. Expression for second order reaction is as follows:

\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_0} +kt

the above equation can be written in the form of Y = mx + C

so, the plot between 1/[A] and t is linear. So the statement b is true.

c.

Expression for half life is as follows:

t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[A]_0}

As half-life is inversely proportional to initial concentration, therefore, increase in concentration will decrease the half life. Therefore statement c is wrong.

d.

Plot between A and t is exponential, therefore there is no constant slope. Therefore, the statement d is wrong
