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

Hope this Helps!!!

D-Fructose is the sweetest monosaccharide. How does the Fischer projection of D-fructose differ from that of D-glucose? Match th
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

aldehyde

carbon-1

ketone

carbon-2

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are colorless crystalline solids that are very soluble in water. Moat have a swwet taste. D-Fructose is the sweetest monosaccharide.

In the open chain form, monosaaccharides have a carbonuyl group in one of their chains. If the carbonyl group is in the form of an aldehyde group, the monosaccharide is an aldose; if the carbonyl group is in the form of a ketone group, the monosaccharide is known as a ketose. glucose is an aldose while fructose is a ketose.

In D-glucose, there is an aldehyde functional group, and the carbonyl group is at carbon-1 when looking at the Fischer projection.

In D-fructose, there is a ketone functional group, and the carbonyl group is at carbon-2 when looking at the Fischer projection.

When 50.0 mL of 1.27 M of HCl(aq) is combined with 50.0 mL of 1.32 M of NaOH(aq) in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature of
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

-55.9kJ/mol is the change in enthalpy of the reaction

Explanation:

In the reaction:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H₂O(l) + NaCl

Some heat is released per mole of reaction.

To know how many moles reacts we need to find limiting reactant:

Moles HCl = 0.050L ₓ (1.27mol /  L) = 0.0635 moles HCl

Moles NaOH = 0.050L ₓ (1.32mol /  L) = 0.066 moles NaOH

As there are more moles of NaOH than moles of HCl, <em>HCl is limiting reactant and moles of reaction are moles of limiting reactant, </em><em>0.0635 moles</em>

<em />

Using the coffee-cup calorimeter equation we can find how many heat was released thus:

Q = C×m×ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat released, C is specific heat of the solution (4.18J/g°C), m is mass of solution (100g because there are 100mL of solution -50.0mL of HCl and 50.0mL of NaOH- and density is 1g/mL) and ΔT is change in temperature (8.49°C)</em>

Replacing:

Q = 4.18J/g°C×100g×8.49°C

Q = 3548.8J of heat are released in the reaction

Now, change in enthalpy, ΔH, is equal to change in heat (As is released heat ΔH < 0) per mole of reaction, that is:

ΔH = Heat / mol of reaction

ΔH = -3548.8J / 0.0635 moles of reaction

<em>Negative because is released heat. </em>

ΔH = -55887J / mol

ΔH =

<h3>-55.9kJ/mol is the change in enthalpy of the reaction</h3>

Which of the following conditions would speed up the rate of decomposition? (Select
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

E and B

Explanation:

the warmer the weather the faster it will decompose, this why is why sometimes bodies last longer frozen, or in cool temperatures.

that statement takes a out.

An illness shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Weight also shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Being buried can make bodies decompose fast because of all the bugs and other animals that will get down there and decompose it faster

Answer: B,E

When two atoms form a covalent bond, they share electrons from all of their orbitals. All of their orbitals, in turn, combine to
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

It's false.

Explanation:

Molecular orbital theory states that the number of molecular orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that overlap. The lowest energy molecular orbital is formed when two atomic orbitals that are in phase overlap, forming a bonding molecular orbital. However, another molecular orbital is also formed, called an anti-binding orbital.

So if an "n" quantity of atomic orbitals is combined, an "n" quantity of molecular orbitals is formed.

Have a nice day!
