Simplified. The absorption spectra of ions have been used to identify the presence of the elements in the atmospheres of the sun

and other stars. What is the energy of a photon (in J) that is absorbed by He+ ions, when an electron is excited from the Bohr orbit with n = 1 to the n = 4 state? The energy of an electron in the nth level is

Answer : The energy of a photon absorbed by He^+ ions is 8.18\times 10^{-18}J

Explanation :

The energy of an electron in the nth level is,

E_n=-\frac{BZ^2}{n^2}

where,

E_n = energy of an electron in the nth level

B = constant = 2.18\times 10^{-18}J

n = number of energy level

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons

First we have to calculate the energy of an electron for n = 1 level.

E_1=-\frac{BZ^2}{1^2}

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons for helium atom = 2

E_1=-\frac{(2.18\times 10^{-18})\times (2)^2}{1^2}

E_1=-8.72\times 10^{-18}J

Now we have to calculate the energy of an electron for n = 4 level.

E_4=-\frac{BZ^2}{4^2}

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons for helium atom = 2

E_4=-\frac{(2.18\times 10^{-18})\times (2)^2}{4^2}

E_4=-5.45\times 10^{-19}J

Now we have to calculate the energy of a photon that is absorbed by He^+ ions.

E=E_4-E_1

E=(-5.45\times 10^{-19})-(-8.72\times 10^{-18})

E=8.18\times 10^{-18}J

Therefore, the energy of a photon absorbed by He^+ ions is 8.18\times 10^{-18}J

The standard cell potential (E°cell) for the reaction below is +0.63 V. The cell potential for this reaction is ________ V when
tia_tia [17]

Answer : The cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Explanation :

The given cell reactions is:

Pb^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode):  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (cathode):  Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb

First we have to calculate the cell potential for this reaction.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.63 V

E_{cell} = cell potential for the reaction = ?

[Zn^{2+}] = 3.5 M

[Pb^{2+}] = 2.0\times 10^{-4}M

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=(+0.63)-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{2\times 96500}\log \frac{3.5}{2.0\times 10^{-4}}

E_{cell}=0.50V

Therefore, the cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

In terms of shape and volume, how can a gas be defined ?
Gnoma [55]

Particles in a gas are far apart compared to a solid or liquid, allowing it not to have a definitive shape or volume. This also means that gases can fill any container and be easily compressed.
