In an experiment to study the photoelectric effect, a scientist measures the kinetic energy of ejected electrons as afunction of

the frequency of radiation hitting a metal surface. She obtains the following plot The point labeled " v0 "corresponds to light with a wavelength of 680 nrn (a)What is the value of in 5-1? (b)What is the value of the work functionof the metal in units of of ki/mol ejected electrons? (c) What happens when the metal is irradiated with light of frequencyless than Vo? (d) Note that when the frequency of the light is greater than Vo, the plot shows a straight line with a nonzeroslope. Why is this the case? (e) Can you determine the slope of the line segment discussed in part (d)? Explain.

Answer:

a) v₀ = 4.41 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

b) W₀ = 176 KJ/mol of ejected electrons

c) From the graph, light of frequency less than v₀ will not cause electrons to break free from the surface of the metal. Electron kinetic energy remains at zero as long as the frequency of incident light is less than v₀.

d) When frequency of the light exceeds v₀, there is an increase of electron kinetic energy from zero steadily upwards with a constant slope. This is because, once light frequency exceeds, v₀, its energy too exceeds the work function of the metal and the electrons instantaneously gain the energy of incident light and convert this energy to kinetic energy by breaking free and going into motion. The energy keeps increasing as the energy and frequency of incident light increases and electrons gain more speed.

e) The slope of the line segment gives the Planck's constant. Explanation is in the section below.

Explanation:

The plot for this question which is attached to this solution has Electron kinetic energy on the y-axis and frequency of incident light on the x-axis.

a) Wavelength, λ = 680 nm = 680 × 10⁻⁹ m

Speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

The frequency of the light, v₀ = ?

Frequency = speed of light/wavelength

v₀ = (3 × 10⁸)/(680 × 10⁻⁹) = 4.41 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

b) Work function, W₀ = energy of the light photons with the wavelength of v₀ = E = hv₀

h = Planck's constant = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

E = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ × 4.41 × 10¹⁴ = 2.92 × 10⁻¹⁹J

E in J/mol of ejected electrons

Ecalculated × Avogadros constant

= 2.92 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 6.023 × 10²³

= 1.76 × 10⁵ J/mol of ejected electrons = 176 KJ/mol of ejected electrons

c) Light of frequency less than v₀ does not possess enough energy to cause electrons to break free from the metal surface. The energy of light with frequency less than v₀ is less than the work function of the metal (which is the minimum amount of energy of light required to excite electrons on metal surface enough to break free).

As evident from the graph, electron kinetic energy remains at zero as long as the frequency of incident light is less than v₀.

d) When frequency of the light exceeds v₀, there is an increase of electron kinetic energy from zero steadily upwards with a constant slope. This is because, once light frequency exceeds, v₀, its energy too exceeds the work function of the metal and the electrons instantaneously gain the energy of incident light and convert this energy to kinetic energy by breaking free and going into motion. The energy keeps increasing as the energy and frequency of incident light increases and electrons gain more speed.

e) The slope of the line segment gives the Planck's constant. From the mathematical relationship, E = hv₀,

And the slope of the line segment is Energy of ejected electrons/frequency of incident light, E/v₀, which adequately matches the Planck's constant, h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Una disolución contiene 40% de ácido acético en masa. La densidad de la disolución es de 1.049 g/mL a 20°C. Calcule la masa de á
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

52.45g

Explanation:

The computation of the mass of pure acetic acid in 125mL of this solution is shown below:

The percentage of mass would be equivalent to the g of solute in each 100g of water

As we know that

density = mass ÷ volume

So,

Volume = mass ÷ density

V = 100g / 1.049 (g / ml)

V = 95.328 mL

Now In every 95,328 ml of C_2H_4O_2 there are 40g of C_2H_4O_2

i.e.

each 125ml of C_2H_4O_2 there are 52.45g

SO,

x = 40g. 125ml ÷ 95.328

x = 52.45g

Calculate the mass of grams of 14.79ml of a substance. It'd density is 1.193gml
Alisiya [41]
<span>D=m/v

Given:
d=1.193g/ml
v= 14.79ml

Solution
m=dv
m=1.193g/ml x 14.79ml

m= 17.644g

Density is the mass per volume of the material. Basically, it refers to the measurement of how crammed together is the matter. The formula to calculate density is rho = m/v wherein rho is the density, m stands for the mass and v stands for the volume.</span>

What is the reason for the low solubility of LiF (0.27 g
Brut [27]

Answer:

The answer is C. The high solvation energy for LI+

Explanation:

LiF has lower solubility because of the high solvation energy of Li+ ion. This is due to the smaller  size and very big charge compared to Cs+ ion which has a bigger size and solvent molecules easily surround it.

Solvation energy is simply the amount energy that is required to make a solute dissolve in a solvent.

Need help with these two, solve only the ones you can though :D
ad-work [718]

Answer: 27 is A and 28 is C.

Explanation: I’ll explain 28 but not 27 because that’s just definitions.

In CuSO4 there is a Cu, an S, and 4 O molecules. Add them up you get 6.
