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

What is the Sl unit for speed
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: meter per second

Explanation: meter per second

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the meter per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometer per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
