Answer:

75603.86473 K

Explanation:

Given that:

The 1st excited electronic energy level of He atom = 3.13 × 10⁻¹⁸  J

The objective of this question is to estimate the temperature at which the ratio of the population will be 5.0 between the first excited state to the ground state.

The formula for estimating the ratio of population in 1st excited state to the ground state can be computed as:

\dfrac{N_2}{N_1} = e ^{^{-\dfrac{(E_2-E_1)}{KT}}} =   e ^{^{-\dfrac{(\Delta E)}{KT}}}

From the above equation:

Δ E = energy difference =  3.13 × 10⁻¹⁸  J

k = Boltzmann constant = 1.38 × 10⁻²³  J/K

\dfrac{N_2}{N_1} = 0.5

Thus:

0.05 =e^{^{ -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}

In (0.05) = { -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}

-3.00 = { -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}

-3.00 = -226811.5942 \times \dfrac{1}{T}

T =  \dfrac{-226811.5942}{-3.00 }

T = 75603.86473 K

vladimir1956 [14]
Computers don’t have the ability to see as much as we do and in Construction sites this can be very dangerous if your driverless car has not been properly updated in an area where there’s a lot of construction you can we put into harms way. The lanes may have changed and they will not have the data to be able to recognize this in time and you could get into a serious car crash.
