An atom (not a hydrogen atom) absorbs a photon whose associated wavelength is 300 nm and then immediately emits photon whose ass

ociated wavelength is 640 nm. How much net energy is absorbed by the atom in this process?

Answer:

The net energy is 2.196 eV

Explanation:

Basically, the energy of an atom increases when it absorbs a photon. In addition, the wavelength of the emitted photon is longer such that the atom absorbed a net energy in the process.

Using:

ΔE = h*c*(1/λ $_{1}$ - 1/λ $_{2}$ )

where:

ΔE is the net energy in eV (electron-volt). 1 eV is equivalent to 1.602* $10^{-19}$ J.

h = 4.135* $10^{-15}$ eVs

c = 3* $10^{8}$ m/s

λ $_{1}$ = 300 nm = 300* $10^{-9}$ m

λ $_{2}$ = 640 nm = 640* $10^{-9}$ m

Thus:

ΔE = 4.135* $10^{-15}$ eVs*3* $10^{8}$ m/s*( $\frac{1}{300*10^{-9}m } }-\frac{1}{640*10^{-9}m }$ )

ΔE = 4.135* $10^{-15}$ *3* $10^{8}$ *1.77* $10^{6}$ eV = 2.196 eV

could you please explain operations with scientific notation using this example. 5 × 10³ + 4.3 × 10⁴ i dont understand how to so

TEA [102]

Explanation:

The scientific notation:

$a\times10^k$

where

$1\leq a$ and k is integer.

We have the example:

$(5\times10^3)+(4.3\times10^4)$

You can write the numbers in a "normal" form:

$5\times10^3=5\times1000=5000\\\\4.3\times10^4=4.3\times10000=43000$

Make the sum:

$5000+43000=48000$

And next write it in the scientific notation:

$48000=4\underbrace{8000}_{\leftarrow4}=4.8000\times10000=4.8\times10^4$

<h3>Other method:</h3>

You can add numbers in scientific notation if the power of tens in both number is the same.

Therefore you must convert the first number:

$5\times10^3=0.5\times10\times10^3=0.5\times10^4$

Now, you can make the sum:

$(5\times10^3)+(4.3\times10^4)=0.5\times10^4+4.3\times10^4=(0.5+4.3)\times10^4=4.8\times10^4$

Write a chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the following cell: Cu|Cu2+(aq)||Ag+(aq)|Ag. Of the two metals, copper

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Answer is given below.

Explanation:

Anode is that electrode where oxidation occurs. Cathode is that electrode where reduction occurs.

In cell representation, half cell present left to salt-bridge notation $(\parallel )$ is anodic system and another half cell present right to salt-bridge notation $(\parallel )$ is cathodic system.

So anode is Cu and cathode is Ag.

oxidation: $Cu-2e^{-}\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)$

[reduction: $Ag^{+}+e^{-}\rightarrow Ag$ ] $\times 2$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

chemical equation: $Cu+2Ag^{+}(aq.)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2Ag$

Oxidizing agent is that species which takes electron from another species. Here $Ag^{+}(aq.)$ takes electron from Cu. Hence $Ag^{+}(aq.)$ is the oxidizing agent.

Reducing agent is that species which gives electron to another species. Here Cu gives electron to $Ag^{+}(aq.)$ . Hence Cu is the reducing agent.
