Answer:

The velocity of the ejected electron from the ionized atom is 3.6 × 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy, we can write that

Photon energy (E) = Ionisation energy (I.E) + Kinetic energy (K.E)

Photon  energy, E = hf

Where h is Planck's constant ( h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ kgm²/s)

and f is the frequency

Also,

Kinetic energy, K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Where m is mass

and v is velocity

Hence, we can write that

hf = I.E + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

But, c = f\lambda

where c is the speed of light ( c = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s)

and λ is the wavelength

∴ f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

Then,

\frac{hc}{\lambda}  = I.E + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

From the question, the first ionisation energy of sodium is 496 kJ/mol

This is the ionisation energy for 1 mole of sodium,

For 1 atom of sodium, we will divide by Avogadro's constant

∴ The ionisation energy becomes

(496 KJ/mol) / (6.02 × 10²³ molecules)

= 8.239 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

This is the ionisation energy for one atom of sodium

Now, to determine the velocity of the ejected electron from the ionized atom,

From,

\frac{hc}{\lambda}  = I.E + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Then,

\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} \times 3.0 \times 10^{8}  }{225 \times 10^{-9} } = 8.239 \times 10^{-19} + \frac{1}{2}(9.109\times10^{-31} )v^{2}

8.835 \times 10^{-19} = 8.239 \times 10^{-19} + 4.5545 \times 10^{-31}v^{2}8.835 \times 10^{-19} - 8.239 \times 10^{-19}   = 4.5545 \times 10^{-31}v^{2}

5.96 \times  10^{-20}   = 4.5545 \times 10^{-31}v^{2}

v^{2} = \frac{5.96 \times  10^{-20}}{4.5545 \times 10^{-31}}

v^{2} = 1.3086 \times 10^{11}

v = \sqrt{1.3086 \times 10^{11} }

v = 361745.77 m/s

v = 3.6 \times 10^{5}  m/s

Hence, the velocity of the ejected electron from the ionized atom is 3.6 × 10⁵ m/s

a flask was filled with SO2 at a partial pressure of 0.409 atm and O2 at a partial pressure of 0.601 atm. The following gas-phas
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The equilibrium partial pressure of O2 is 0.545 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Partial pressure of SO2 = 0.409 atm

Partial pressure of O2 = 0.601 atm

At equilibrium, the partial pressure of SO2 was 0.297 atm.

Step 2: The balanced equation

2SO2 + O2 ⇆ 2SO3

Step 3: The initial pressure

pSO2 = 0.409 atm

pO2 = 0.601 atm

pSO3 = 0 atm

Step 4: Calculate the pressure at the equilibrium

pSO2 = 0.409 - 2X atm

pO2 = 0.601 - X atm

pSO3 = 2X

pSO2 = 0.409 - 2X atm = 0.297

 X = 0.056 atm

pO2 = 0.601 - 0.056 = 0.545 atm

pSO3 = 2*0.056 = 0.112 atm

Step 5: Calculate Kp

Kp = (pSO3)²/((pO2)*(pSO2)²)

Kp = (0.112²) / (0.545 * 0.297²)

Kp = 0.261

The equilibrium partial pressure of O2 is 0.545 atm
