Capillary action is defined as the ability of a liquid to go up a narrow space without the help or opposition of external forces. One of the most important factors affecting capillary action is the intermolecular forces within a substance. The higher the IMF, the greater the capillary action. The H-bonding in water gives it greater IMF than acetone, so water has greater capillary action.

5. A beam of photons with a minimum energy of 222 kJ/mol can eject electrons from a potassium surface. Estimate the range of wav

torisob [31]

Answer: The range of wavelengths of light that can be used to cause given phenomenon is $8.953 \times 10^{21} m$ .

Explanation:

Given: 222 kJ/mol (1 kJ = 1000 J) = 222000 J

Formula used is as follows.

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy

h = Planck's constant = $6.625 \times 10^{-25} Js$

c = speed of light = $3 \times 10^{8} m/s$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\222000 J = \frac{6.625 \times 10^{-34}Js \times 3 \times 10^{8} m/s}{\lambda}\\\lambda = 8.953 \times 10^{21} m$

Thus, we can conclude that the range of wavelengths of light that can be used to cause given phenomenon is $8.953 \times 10^{21} m$ .
