Answer:

932.44 km/s

Explanation:

Given that:

The work function of the magnesium = 2.3 eV

Energy in eV can be converted to energy in J as:

1 eV = 1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

So, work function = 2.3\times 1.6022\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.68506\times 10^{-19}\ J

Using the equation for photoelectric effect as:

E=\psi _0+\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2

Also, E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}

Applying the equation as:

\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}=\psi _0+\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

m is the mass of electron having value 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

\lambda is the wavelength of the light being bombarded

\psi _0=Work\ function

v is the velocity of electron

Given, \lambda=260\ nm=260\times 10^{-9}\ m

Thus, applying values as:

\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{260\times 10^{-9}}=3.68506\times 10^{-19}+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2

3.68506\times \:10^{-19}+\frac{1}{2}\times \:9.11\times \:10^{-31}v^2=\frac{6.626\times \:10^{-34}\times \:3\times \:10^8}{260\times \:10^{-9}}

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2=7.64538\times 10^{-19}-3.68506\times 10^{-19}

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2=3.96032462\times 10^{-19}

v^2=0.869446\times 10^{12}

v = 9.3244 × 10⁵ m/s

Also, 1 m = 0.001 km

<u>So, v = 932.44 km/s</u>

1.) Magnesium reacts with oxygen and forms magnesium oxide. Write the reaction, and explain how you would find the oxidizing age
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

1) The reaction of magnesium with oxygen is;

Mg(s) + O2(g) -----> MgO2(s)

The oxidizing agent is the reactant whose oxidation number decreases from left to right in the reaction equation. The oxidation state of oxygen decreased from zero to -2 hence oxygen is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.

2) The advantages of fuel cell includes;

i) it is a clean source of energy

ii) Fuel cells operate quietly and do not constitute noise pollution

One disadvantage of the fuel cell is that its operation is costly.

3) Electrolytic and voltaic cell are similar because they are both electrochemical cells and involve a transfer of electrons between two electrodes.

Electrolytic cells do not operate spontaneously while voltaic cells operate spontaneously. In the volatic cell the anode is negatively charged while the cathode is positively charged. In the electrolytic cell, the anode is positively charged while the cathode is negatively charged.

Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction: 2H+(aq)+CO−23(aq) → H2CO3(aq)
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Equilibrium constant expression for \rm 2\; H^{+}\, (aq) + {CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq) \rightleftharpoons H_2CO_3\, (aq):

\displaystyle K = \frac{\left(a_{\mathrm{H_2CO_3\, (aq)}}\right)}{\left(a_{\mathrm{H^{+}}}\right)^2\, \left(a_{\mathrm{{CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq)}}\right)} \approx \frac{[\mathrm{H_2CO_3}]}{\left[\mathrm{H^{+}\, (aq)}\right]^{2} \, \left[\mathrm{CO_3}^{2-}\right]}.

Where

  • a_{\mathrm{H_2CO_3}}, a_{\mathrm{H^{+}}}, and a_{\mathrm{CO_3}^{2-}} denote the activities of the three species, and
  • [\mathrm{H_2CO_3}], \left[\mathrm{H^{+}}\right], and \left[\mathrm{CO_3}^{2-}\right] denote the concentrations of the three species.

Explanation:

<h3>Equilibrium Constant Expression</h3>

The equilibrium constant expression of a (reversible) reaction takes the form a fraction.

Multiply the activity of each product of this reaction to get the numerator.\rm H_2CO_3\; (aq) is the only product of this reaction. Besides, its coefficient in the balanced reaction is one. Therefore, the numerator would simply be \left(a_{\mathrm{H_2CO_3\, (aq)}}\right).

Similarly, multiply the activity of each reactant of this reaction to obtain the denominator. Note the coefficient "2" on the product side of this reaction. \rm 2\; H^{+}\, (aq) + {CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq) is equivalent to \rm H^{+}\, (aq) + H^{+}\, (aq) + {CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq). The species \rm H^{+}\, (aq) appeared twice among the reactants. Therefore, its activity should also appear twice in the denominator:

\left(a_{\mathrm{H^{+}}}\right)\cdot \left(a_{\mathrm{H^{+}}}\right)\cdot \, \left(a_{\mathrm{{CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq)}})\right = \left(a_{\mathrm{H^{+}}}\right)^2\, \left(a_{\mathrm{{CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq)}})\right.

That's where the exponent "2" in this equilibrium constant expression came from.

Combine these two parts to obtain the equilibrium constant expression:

\displaystyle K = \frac{\left(a_{\mathrm{H_2CO_3\, (aq)}}\right)}{\left(a_{\mathrm{H^{+}}}\right)^2\, \left(a_{\mathrm{{CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq)}}\right)} \quad\begin{matrix}\leftarrow \text{from products} \\[0.5em] \leftarrow \text{from reactants}\end{matrix}.

<h3 /><h3>Equilibrium Constant of Concentration</h3>

In dilute solutions, the equilibrium constant expression can be approximated with the concentrations of the aqueous "(\rm aq)" species. Note that all the three species here are indeed aqueous. Hence, this equilibrium constant expression can be approximated as:

\displaystyle K = \frac{\left(a_{\mathrm{H_2CO_3\, (aq)}}\right)}{\left(a_{\mathrm{H^{+}}}\right)^2\, \left(a_{\mathrm{{CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq)}}\right)} \approx \frac{\left[\mathrm{H_2CO_3\, (aq)}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{H^{+}\, (aq)}\right]^2\cdot \left[\mathrm{{CO_3}^{2-}\, (aq)}\right]}.
