Answer:

i) No electron is emitted. Hence, no kinetic energy or velocity of emitted electron

ii) KE = 6.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J; v = 1.23 x 10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

Using the formula: Kinetic energy, KE = hc/λ - E₀

where h = the Plank constant 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J s,

c is velocity of light = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of incident light in nm

E₀ = work function in Joules

Note: 1 eV = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ Joules

Also, using KE = 1/2 mv²

v = √(2KE/m)

where m is mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ Kg

i) KE = hc/λ - E₀

KE = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ Js x 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s) / 650 x 10⁻⁹ m - (2.09 x 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J)

KE = 3.06 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 3.35 x 10⁻¹⁹  = - 2.9 x 10⁻²⁰ J

Since KE is negative, no electron is emitted. Thus, there is no kinetic energy or velocity of electron.

ii) KE = hc/λ - E₀

KE = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ Js x 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s) / 195 x 10⁻⁹ m - (2.09 x 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J)

KE = 10.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 3.35 x 10⁻¹⁹

KE = 6.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Velocity, v = √(2KE/m)

v = √( 2 x 6.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J / 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ Kg)

v = 1.23 x 10⁶ m/s

To make a 2 M solution of calcium chloride (CaCl2), you would place how many grams of CaCl2 into a container and then add how mu
belka [17]

Answer:

For a volume of 1 liter, we have a total mass of 220 grams of CaCl2 ( Option A)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Given data

The concentration of the solution we want to make is 2M

2M = 2 moles/ L So the volume = 1L

The molar mass of CaCl2 is = 40 + 2*35 = 110g/mole

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate number of moles

If we consider the volume = 1 L then for a concentration of 2M, this means the number of moles is 2

<u>Step 3:</u>  Calculate mass

The molar mass of CaCl2 = 110 g/mole

This means 110 grams per 1 mole

for 2 moles the mass is 220 grams

This means that for a volume of 1 liter, we have a total mass of 220 grams of CaCl2

The valency of both Oxygen and magnesium is 2 give reason <br><br>​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

<em>the <u>valency of an element</u> is its combining capacity that is the number of electrons it requires to lose, gain or share in order to become neutral.</em>

[ An element can become neutral if it completes it's octet. That is if an element has 8 electrons in it'd outermost shell then it is considered neutral ]

  • The valence of Magnesium is 2 because it requires to lose 2 electrons to become neutral.

  • whereas, the valence of Oxygen is 2 because it needs to gain 2 electrons to become stable.

Hence they both have the same valence.

One may say that oxygen's valence is -2 while that of Magnesium is + 2. It's meaning is still the same but "-" sign indicates that oxygen will be gaining electrons in the process of becoming stable.
