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

Iron filling's were mixed together with salt crystal's What unique property of iron would be BEST to separate the fillings from
Leto [7]

Answer:

Magnetic property

Explanation:

Iron filling is a magnetic compound, unlike the salt crystals. This means they are attracted by magnets.

To separate a mixture of iron filling s and salt crystals, a magnet should be used to remove the iron fillings from the mixture.

What amount of carbon dioxide (in moles) is produced from the reaction of 2.24 moles of ethanol with excess oxygen?
algol13

Answer : The amount of carbon dioxide produced is, 197.12 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of ethanol = 2.24 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

C_2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

First we have to calculate the moles carbon dioxide.

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of ethanol react to give 2 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 2.24 mole of ethanol react to give 2\times 2.24=4.48 moles of carbon dioxide

Now we have to calculate the mass of carbon dioxide.

\text{Mass of }CO_2=\text{Moles of }CO_2\times \text{Molar mass of }CO_2

\text{Mass of }CO_2=4.48mole\times 44g/mole=197.12g

Therefore, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is 197.12 grams.
