The first excited electronic energy level of the helium atom is 3.13 x 10-18 J above the ground level. Estimate the temperature

at which the electronic motion will begin to make a significant contribution to the heat capacity. That is, at what temperature will the ratio of the population of the first excited state to the ground state be 5.0%?

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

Thermoplastic and thermosetting

thermoplastic:- they are easily molded and extruded into films, fibres and packaging.For eg. PVC

thermosetting:-they are hard and durable and can be used for aircraft parts,tires and auto parts .For eg. phenolic resins.

How many grams of sulfur are needed to react completely with 246 g of mercury to form hgs?
iren [92.7K]

The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:

Hg + S ------------- HgS

Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS

The given mass of Hg = 246 g

Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol

# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry,

# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles

Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol

Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g

39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS
