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

Which example shows an ecosystem of organisms? A. a single monkey B. a group of tree monkeys C. a group of tree monkeys and a cl
boyakko [2]

A single monkey is not an ecosystem

As ecosystem comprises of all the living and non living parts a community under study.

So if have define an ecosystem of which monkey is a part then we have to include the living organism like tress and monkey and the non living parts like rock and wind which affects the living organism.

If more powdered Kool-Aid is added to the same amount of water, what happens to the solution?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The Kool-Aid mix by itself is a solid, made up of sugar, flavorings, and dyes to color it. When you add it to the water, this powdered mix seems to disappear.  If we kept adding Kool-Aid mix to the solution, the water would keep dissolving the mix until it became saturated, or until it couldn't dissolve any more mix.
