Answer:

The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is 303.7 nm

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the UV light, λ = 248 nm = 248 x 10⁻⁹ m

maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron, K.E = 0.92 eV

let the work function of the aluminum metal = Ф

Apply photoelectric equation:

E = K.E + Ф

Where;

Ф is the minimum energy needed to eject electron the aluminum metal

E is the energy of the incident light

The energy of the incident light is calculated as follows;

E = hf = h\frac{c}{\lambda} \\\\where;\\\\h \ is \ Planck's \ constant = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ Js\\\\c \ is \ speed \ of \ light = 3 \times 10^{8} \ m/s\\\\E = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34})\times (3\times 10^8)}{248\times 10^{-9}} \\\\E = 8.02 \times 10^{-19} \ J

The work function of the aluminum metal is calculated as;

Ф = E - K.E

Ф = 8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹  -  (0.92 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

Ф =  8.02 x 10⁻¹⁹ J   -  1.474 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Ф = 6.546 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The maximum wavelength of light that could liberate electrons from the aluminum metal is calculated as;

\phi = hf = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{max}} \\\\\lambda_{max} = \frac{hc}{\phi} \\\\\lambda_{max} = \frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}) \times (3 \times 10^8) }{6.546 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\\lambda_{max} = 3.037 \times 10^{-7} m\\\\\lambda_{max} = 303.7 \ nm

So the Fahrenheit scale has 180 divisions. But its highest temperature is 212. Im kinda confused..... what is the purpose of div
KiRa [710]

Answer:

The melting and boiling point of water in Fahrenheit scale is divided into 180 equal intervals, that means each division denoting 1°F.

division means their melting and boiling point is divided into 180 equal intervals that means each division indicates 1 degree F.

Noah drops a rock with a density of 1.73 g/cm3 into a pond. Will the rock float or sink? Explain your answer.
wel

Answer:

Sink

Explanation:

The normal density of water is 1 g/cm3.  Since the rock has a higher density of 1.72g/cm3, it will sink in water.

grandymaker [24]
Effect of temperature.

"If the temperature of the substance is increased then the rate of chemical reaction is also increased because the kinetic energy is greater."

Effect of surface area.

"If the surface area is increased then the rate of reaction is increased because there will be more active sites for the reaction to occur.
