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

icang [17]
It is a scientific hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, however there is a significantly more grounded necessity that a testable speculation must meet before it can truly be viewed as logical. This foundation comes essentially from crafted by the rationalist of science Karl Popper, and is called "falsifiability".

How many moles of chloride ions are there in 2.5 L of 5 M magnesium chloride?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

n_{Cl^-}=25molCl^-

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the given 5-M concentration of magnesium chloride is expressed as:

5\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}

We can notice that one mole of salt contains two moles of chloride ions as the subscript of chlorine is two, in such a way, with the volume of solution we obtain the moles of chloride ions as shown below:

n_{Cl^-}=5\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{2molCl^-}{1molMgCl_2} *2.5L\\\\n_{Cl^-}=25molCl^-

Best regards.

The acid HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is produced by bubbling chlorine gas through a suspension of solid mercury(II) oxide particles
Oliga [24]

Answer:

K = [ HOCl ] . [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2

Explanation:

The law of Mass Action states that, at constant temperature, the rate of reaction is proportional to the active masses of each of the reactants.

The reaction above is a reversible reaction and the law of mass action also applies to it.

The rate of reaction from left-to-right reaction = r1 = k. [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2

Rate of reaction from right - to - left r2 = k. [hocl]^2 [HgO . hgcl2]

Then at equilibrium,

r1 = r2

k1/k2 = [HOCl ]^2 [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2 = K

where K is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
