Answer:

Explanation:

Work function of potassium = 2.29 eV = 3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹ J

So the minimum energy of photon must be equal to 3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹ J .

energy of photon of wavelength λ = hc / λ

where h = 6.67 x 10⁻³⁴

c = 3 x 10⁸

Putting the values in the equation above

6.67 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / λ = 3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹

λ = 6.67 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹

= 5.452 x 10⁻⁷

= 5452 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

= 5452 A .

Hydrogen gas is filled in a 224 ml glass container at 0 degree celcius and 1 atmospheric pressure. What are the number of molecu

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{6.02 $\math{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}$

Explanation:

A pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 0 °C is the old definition of STP. Under these conditions, 1 mol of a gas occupies 22.4 L.

1. Calculate the moles of hydrogen.

$n = \text{0.224 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{22.4 L}} = \text{0.0100 mol}$

2. Calculate the number of molecules

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.0100 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{6.022 $\times 10^{23}$ molecules}}{\text{1 mol}}\\\\= \textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}\\\\\text{The sample contains }\boxed{\textbf{6.02 $\mathbf{\times 10^{21}}$ molecules}}$

What is the molarity of a 1.44 (m/v)% solution of an HCOOOH (Formic acid)?

AlexFokin [52]

This problem is providing the mass-volume percent of a formic acid solution so its molarity is required and found to be 0.313 M after the following calculations.

<h3>Molarity</h3>

In chemistry, units of concentration provide a measurable understanding of the relationship between the relative amounts of both solute and solvent. In the case of molarity, one must relate moles of solute and liters of solution as follows:

$M=\frac{mol\ solute}{Volume\ solution \ in \ L}$

In such a way, when given this mass-volume percent of 1.44% for the formic acid in the solution, one can assume there is 100 mL of solution and 1.44 g of solute (formic acid), which means one must convert the volume to liters and the mass to moles with:

$mol\ solute=\frac{1.44g}{46.03g/mol} =0.0313mol\\\\Volume\ in \liters: 100mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=0.100L$
