These three metals- called the alkali metals- have one electron in their outer shell. Since all atoms want to be stable, it try's to lose this electron. They are very reactive, and so will be found in compounds or mixtures, such as sodium chloride (table salt!)

Hope this helps:)

Using the Bohr model, determine the energy in joules of the photon produced when an electron in a Li2+ ion moves from the orbit
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

By the Bohr model, the electrons surround the nucleus of the atom in shells or levels of energy. Each one has it's energy, and the electron doesn't fall to the nucleus because it can reach another level of energy, and then return to its level.

When the electrons go to another level, it absorbs energy, and then, when return, this energy is released, as a photon (generally as luminous energy). The value of the energy can be calculated by:

E = hc/λ

Where h is the Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), c is the light speed (3.00x10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the photon.

The wavelength can be calculated by:

1/λ = R*(1/nf² - 1/ni²)

Where R is the Rydberg constant (1.097x10⁷ m⁻¹), nf is the final orbit, and ni the initial orbit. So:

1/λ = 1.097x10⁷ *(1/1² - 1/2²)

1/λ = 8.227x10⁶

λ = 1.215x10⁻⁷ m

So, the energy is:

E = (6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.00x10⁸)/(1.215x10⁻⁷)

E = 1.64x10⁻¹⁸ J

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2.79 °C/m

Explanation:

When a nonvolatile solute is dissolved in a pure solvent, the boiling point of the solvent increases. This property is called ebullioscopy. The temperature change (ΔT) can be calculated by:

ΔT = Kb*W*i

Where Kb is the ebullioscopy constant for the solvent, W is the molality and i is the van't Hoff factor.

W = m1/(M1*m2)

Where m1 is the mass of the solute (in g), M1 is the molar mass of the solute, and m2 is the mass of the solvent (in kg).

The van't Hoff factor represents the dissociation of the elements. For an organic molecule, we can approximate i = 1. Thus:

m1 = 2.00 g

M1 = 147 g/mol

m2 = 0.0225 kg

W = 2/(147*0.0225)

W = 0.6047 mol/kg

(82.39 - 80.70) = Kb*0.6047*1

0.6047Kb = 1.69

Kb = 2.79 °C/m
