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

How many kj of heat are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of h2o, given that the water is at its melting point? the heat of fusio
timurjin [86]

Answer: fourth option, 10.8 kJ


Explanation:


The <em>heat of fusion</em>, also named latent heat of fusion, is the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid (at constant pressure).


The data of the <em>heat of fusions</em> of the substances are reported in tables and they can be shown either per mole or per gram of substance.


In this case we have that the<em> heat of fusion for water </em>is reported per mole: <em>6.02 kJ/mole</em>.


The formula to calculate <em>how many kJ of heat (total heat) are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of water, given that the water is at its melting point</em> is:

  • Heat = number of moles × heat of fusion

The calculations are:

  • number of moles = mass / molar mass

        number of moles = 32.3 g / 18.015 g/mol = 1.79 mol

       

  • Heat = 1.79 mol × 6.02 kJ / mol = 10.8 kJ ← answer
