The amount of energy necessary to remove an electron from an atom is a quantity called the ionization energy, Ei. This energy ca

n be measured by a technique called photoelectron spectroscopy, in which light of wavelength λ is directed at an atom, causing an electron to be ejected. The kinetic energy of the ejected electron (Ek) is measured by determining its velocity, υ (Ek= mυ2/2), and Ei is then calculated using the conservation of energy principle. That is, the energy of the incident light equals Ei plus Ek. What is the ionization energy of selenium atoms in kJ/mol if light with λ = 48.2 nm produces electrons with a velocity of 2.371x106 m/s? The mass, m, of an electron is 9.109x10-31 kg. (Round to the ones place.)

Answer:

The value is E_i  =  1.5596 *10^{-18} \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is \lambda  =  48.2 nm  =  48.2  *10^{- 9 }\  m

The velocity is v = 2.371*10^6 \ m/s

The mass of electron is m_e  =  9.109*10^{-31} \  kg

Generally the energy of the incident light is mathematically represented as

E =  \frac{h *  c}{\lambda}

Here c is the speed of light with value c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

h is the Planck constant with value h = 6.62607015 *  10^{-34 }  J\cdot s

So

E =  \frac{6.62607015 *  10^{-34 }* 3.0 *10^{8}}{48.2  *10^{- 9 }}

=> E = 4.12 *10^{-18} \  J

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

E_k  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m_e * v^2

=> E_k  =  \frac{1}{2} *  9.109*10^{-31} * (2.371*10^6 )^2

=> E_k  =  2.56 *0^{-18} \  J

Generally the ionization energy is mathematically represented as

E_i  =  4.12 *10^{-18} -   2.56 *0^{-18}

=>     E_i  =  1.5596 *10^{-18} \  J

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.

A 7.75-l flask contains 0.482 g of hydrogen gas and 4.98 g of oxygen gas at 65°c. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

0.558 atm

Explanation:

We must first consider that both gases behaves like ideal gases, so we can use the following formula: PV=nRT

Then, we should consider that, whithin a mixture of gases, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressure of each gas:

P₀ = P₁ + P₂ + ....

P₀= total pressure

P₁=P₂= is the partial pressure of each gass

If we can consider that each gas is an ideal gas, then:

P₀= (nRT/V)₁ + (nRT/V)₂ +..

Considering the molecular mass of O₂:

M O₂= 32 g/mol

And also:

R= ideal gas constant= 0.082 Lt*atm/K*mol

T= 65°C=338 K

4.98 g O₂ = 0.156 moles O₂

V= 7.75 Lt

Then:

P°O₂=partial pressure of oxygen gas=  (0.156x0.082x338)/7.75

P°O₂= 0.558 atm
