What happens when an electron in its lowest energy level or ground state when it is by absorbs energy?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tester [92]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

atom changes from a ground state to an excited state by taking on energy from its surroundings in a process called absorption. The electron absorbs the energy and jumps to a higher energy level. In the reverse process, emission, the electron returns to the ground state by releasing the extra energy it absorbed

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

How much heat is absorbed when a 298.3 g piece of brass goes from 30.0 to 150
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Q = 1360.248 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of brass = 298.3 g

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 150°C

Specific heat capacity of brass = 0.038 J/g.°C

Heat absorbed = ?

SOLUTION:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 150°C - 30.0°C  

ΔT = 120°C

Q = 298.3 g × 0.038 J/g.°C × 120°C

Q = 1360.248 j
