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

g Consider an ideal atomic gas in a cylinder. The upper part of the cylinder is a moveable piston of negligible weight. The heig
kumpel [21]

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.

A cylindrical weight with a mass (m) of 3 kg is dropped, that is, its initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s and travels 10 m (s). Assuming the acceleration (a) is that of gravity (9.8 m/s²). We can calculate the velocity (v) of the weight in the instant prior to the collision with the piston using the following kinematic equation.

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as = 2 (9.8 m/s^{2} ) (10m) \\\\v = 14 m/s

The object with a mass of 3 kg collides with the piston at 14 m/s, The kinetic energy (K) of the object at that moment is:

K = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (3kg) (14m/s)^{2} = 294 J

The kinetic energy of the weight is completely converted into heat transferred into the gas cylinder. Thus, Q = 294 J.

Given all the process is at 250 K (T), we can calculate the change of entropy of the gas using the following expression.

\Delta S_{gas} = \frac{Q}{T} = \frac{294 J}{250K} = 1.18 J/K

The change in the entropy of the environment, has the same value but opposite sign than the change in the entropy of the gas. Thus, \Delta S_{env} = -1.18 J/K

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.

Heating curve shows temperature verses energy gain. Which parts of the curve represent a gain in potential energy?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Those two horizontal lines.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, when focusing on these heating curves, it is important to say they tend to have two constant-temperature sections and three variable-temperature sections. Thus, from lower to higher temperature, the first constant-temperature section corresponds to melting and the second one vaporization, whereas the three variable-temperature sections correspond to the heating of the solid until melting, the liquid until vaporization and the gas until the critical point.

In such a way, we infer that the boxes referred to constant temperature are referred to a gain in potential energy, that is, the two horizontal lines.

Regards!
