Answer:

v = 301.62 km/s

Explanation:

Given that:

The work function of the magnesium = 3.68 eV

Energy in eV can be converted to energy in J as:

1 eV = 1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

So, work function = 3.68\times 1.6022\times 10^{-19}\ J=5.8961\times 10^{-19}\ J

Using the equation for photoelectric effect as:

E=\psi _0+\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2

Also, E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}

Applying the equation as:

\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}=\psi _0+\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2

Where,  

h is Plank's constant having value 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

m is the mass of electron having value 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

\lambda is the wavelength of the light being bombarded

\psi _0=Work\ function

v is the velocity of electron

Given, \lambda=315\ nm=315\times 10^{-9}\ m

Thus, applying values as:

\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{315\times 10^{-9}}=5.8961\times 10^{-19}+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2

5.8961\times \:10^{-19}+\frac{1}{2}\times \:9.11\times \:10^{-31}v^2=\frac{6.626\times \:10^{-34}\times \:3\times \:10^8}{315\times \:10^{-9}}

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2=6.31047619\times 10^{-19}-5.8961\times 10^{-19}

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2=0.41437619\times 10^{-19}

v^2=0.0909717212\times 10^{12}

v = 3.0162 × 10⁵ m/s

Also, 1 m = 0.001 km

So, v = 301.62 km/s

9- Which pair of formulae represents two alkanes? (1 mark)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

A) CH4 and C8H18

Explanation:

  • General Formula for an Alkane = CnH2n+2

  • This means for every number of Carbon (C) atoms, there are twice as many Hydrogen (H) atoms with an additional two added onto that.

  • Therefore, if there is one Carbon Atom, and we multiply that by two, and then add an additional two, we get 4 Hydrogen atoms, so CH4, which is our first Formulae

  • Secondly, if we have eight Carbon Atoms, and we multiple that by two (16), and then add an additional two, we get 18 Hydrogen atoms, so C8H18, which is our second Formulae

  • The other Formulas do not follow this 'General Formula'

Copper(II) sulfide is formed when copper and sulfur are heated together. In this reaction,
storchak [24]

Answer:

The mass of copper(II) sulfide formed is:

= 81.24 g

Explanation:

The Balanced chemical equation for this reaction is :

Cu(s) + S\rightarrow CuS

given mass= 54 g

Molar mass of Cu = 63.55 g/mol

Moles = \frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

moles=\frac{54}{63.55}

Moles of Cu = 0.8497 mol

Given mass = 42 g

Molar mass of S = 32.06 g/mol

Moles = \frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

moles=\frac{42}{32.06}

Moles of S = 1.31 mol

Limiting Reagent :<em> The reagent which is present in less amount and consumed in a reactio</em>n

<u><em>First find the limiting reagent :</em></u>

Cu + S\rightarrow CuS

1 mol of Cu require = 1 mol of S

0.8497 mol of Cu should require  = 1 x 0.8497 mol

= 0.8497 mol of S

S present in the reaction Medium = 1.31 mol

S Required  = 0.8497 mol

S is present in excess and <u>Cu is limiting reagent</u>

<u>All Cu is consumed in the reaction</u>

Amount Cu will decide the amount of CuS formed

Cu + S\rightarrow CuS

1 mole of Cu  gives = 1 mole of Copper sulfide

0.8497 mol of Cu =  1 x 0.8497 mole of Copper sulfide

= 0.8497

Molar mass of CuS = 95.611 g/mol

Moles = \frac{given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

0.8497 = \frac{given\ mass}{95.611}

Mass of CuS = 0.8497 x 95.611

= 81.24 g

Pure R,R-hydrobenzoin (side product of meso-hydrobenzoin) has a melting point of 148°C. a) What do you expect the melting point
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) melting point of S,S-hydrobenzoin should be 140°C. Since S,S-hydrobezoin and R,R-hydrobenzoin are enantiomeric pair so that their melting point and boilong point should be same.

(b) different melting point,

Racemic mixture must have different melting point in comparison to the pure enantiomers.

considering a racemic mixture, individual enantiometer possesses a greater affinity for its kind of molecules than for those of the other enantiometer

The isotopes of an element all have the same __(atomic, mass) __number, but they have different __(atomic,mass)__numbers.
Vlad1618 [11]
<h2>The isotopes of an element all have the same __(atomic, mass) __number, but they have different __(atomic,mass)__numbers.</h2>

Explanation:

The isotopes of an element all have the same __atomic  number  __, but they have different __mass __numbers.

The isotopes have same atomic number that is :

  • Same number of electrons
  • Same number of protons
  • same electronic configuration
  • same valence electrons
  • same valency
  • same symbol

The isotopes have different mass number that is :

They differ in number of neutrons .

For example : Isotopes of hydrogen are : H₁¹ , H₁² , H₁³

                       isotopes of Oxygen is : O¹⁶ , O¹⁷, O¹⁸
