The work function of an element is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the solid. The work function fo

r palladium is 503.7 kJ/mol (that is, it takes 503.7 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of Pd atoms on the surface of Pd metal). What is the maximum wavelength of light that can remove an electron from an atom in palladium metal

Answer:

λ = 2.38 × 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

We are given the work function for palladium as 503.7 kJ/mol.

Now let's convert this to KJ/electron.

We know from avogadro's number that;

1 mole of electron = 6.022 × 10^(23) electrons

Thus,

503.7 kJ/mol = 503.7 × 1/(6.022 × 10^(23)) = 8.364 × 10^(-22) KJ/electron = 8.364 × 10^(-19) J/electron

Formula for energy of a photon is;

E = hv

Where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10^(-34) J.s

v is velocity

Now, v = c/λ

Where;

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

λ is wavelength of light.

Thus;

E = hc/λ

Making λ the subject, we have;

λ = hc/E

λ = (6.626 × 10^(-34) × 3 × 10^(8))/(8.364 × 10^(-19))

λ = 2.38 × 10^(-7) m

scandium47 has a half-life of 35s. suppose you have a 45g sample of scadium 47 how much of the sample remains unchanged after 14
Mars2501 [29]

 The much  of the sample that would remain  unchanged  after 140 seconds is 2.813 g

Explanation

Half life  is time taken for the quantity  to reduce  to half its original value.

if the half life  for Scandium  is 35 sec, then the number  of half life in 140 seconds

=140 sec/ 35 s = 4 half life

Therefore 45 g after first half life = 45 x1/2 =22.5 g

               22.5 g after second half life = 22.5 x 1/2 =11.25 g

            11.25 g after third half life = 11.25 x 1/2 = 5.625 g

             5.625 after  fourth half life = 5.625 x 1/2 = 2.813

therefore 2.813 g  of Scandium 47 remains  unchanged.
