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

What does the roman numeral stand for in copper(1) oxide should it not be copper(II) oxide
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The roman numeral in copper(I) oxide indicates that the oxidation number of copper in the compound is 1.

Explanation:

Roman numeral is used to indicate the oxidation number of an element in a compound.

The roman numeral in copper(I) oxide indicates that the oxidation number of copper in the compound is 1.

This can be seen from the following illustration:

copper(I) oxide => Cu₂O

Oxidation number of O = –2

Oxidation number of Cu₂O = 0

Oxidation number of Cu =?

Cu₂O = 0

2Cu + O = 0

2Cu – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

2Cu = 0 + 2

2Cu = 2

Divide both side by 2

Cu = 2/2

Cu = 1

Thus, we can see that the oxidation number of Cu in Cu₂O is 1. Hence the name of Cu₂O is copper(I) oxide indicating that the oxidation number of of copper (Cu) in the compound is 1.

For copper(II) oxide, we shall determine the oxidation number of Cu. This can be obtained as follow:

copper(II) oxide, CuO => CuO

Oxidation number of O = –2

Oxidation number of CuO = 0

Oxidation number of Cu =?

CuO = 0

Cu + O = 0

Cu – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 + 2

Cu = 2

Thus, the oxidation number of Cu in CuO is 2. Hence the name of CuO is copper(II) oxide indicating that the oxidation number of of copper (Cu) in the compound is 2.

From the above illustrations,

We can see that the roman numeral in both copper(I) oxide, Cu₂O and copper(II) oxide, CuO are different because the oxidation number of Cu in both cases are different.

Which elemental clues contain sufficient info to place the element using no other info
zaharov [31]

Atomic number

Explanation:

The atomic number is enough clue that can be used to proper place elements  without any other information. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. Protons are positively charged particles in the nucleus of an atom.

  • To place elements on the periodic table, the periodic law which states that "properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number" must be obeyed.
  • Using the atomic number, one can determine the number of electrons in a neutral atom, the charges on an ion e.t.c.
  • Atomic number can also be used to write the electronic configuration of an atom be it the shell notation, sublevel notation and the lewis dot structure.

How would the calculated concentration of the hci be affected if the sodium hydroxide were poured from ma beaker that contained
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the beaker that contained some water before NaOH were added means that the resulting solution in that beaker will be more dilute. When this diluted sodium hydroxide solution is added to HCl (not hci), the reaction below occurs

HCl + NaOH ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

The reaction above is a neutralization reaction. <u>The concentration of the acid (HCl) will reduce when a base (sodium hydroxide) is added and will also reduce more because of the presence of more water (in the base) which normally reduces the concentration of ions present in an acid or a base to become more dilute.</u>
