5. For Sodium, the Work Function is listed as 2.75 eV but the Ionization Energy is listed as 5.14 eV. Is one of the experiments

wrong? Give a possible explanation as to this difference in the minimum energy needed to eject or free an electron from Sodium.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The work function of a metal is defined as that minimum energy which is required to remove one electron from the surface of a metal when it is irradiated with a photon of light. The work function is different for different metals.

The ionization energy of a metal is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. It depends on the position of the electron within the atom.

The work function specifically refers to the energy required to remove an electron from the conduction band of a metal. Hence, the work function is always lower than the ionization energy.

How do i calculate the mass of CO2 emitted per Kj of heat produced in a combustion reaction?
Alexxandr [17]
 methanol:

1 mole CH3 OH --> produces --> 1 mole CO2 

1 mole CO2 has a molar mass of 44.01 gh/mole
 
your set up is:
(44.01 g CO2) / -726.5kJ = 0.06058g

your answer 0.06058 grams of CO2 produced per kJ released.

(You do) If you have 47.2 mol of Na available, along with an excess of Cl₂, how many grams of NaCl can you produce?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

2,760 grams NaCl

Explanation:

To find grams of NaCl, you need to (1) convert moles of Na to moles of NaCl (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction) and (2) convert moles of NaCl to grams (via molar mass from periodic table). The final answer should have 3 significant figures based on the given measurement.

2 Na + Cl₂ --> 2 NaCl

Molar Mass (NaCl) = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol

47.2 moles Na           2 moles NaCl              58.44 grams

----------------------  x  ---------------------------  x  -------------------------  =
                                   2 moles Na                   1 mole NaCl

= 2,758.368 grams NaCl

= 2,760 grams NaCl

What is the amount, in moles, of each elemental sample? a. 11.8 g Ar b. 3.55 g Zn c. 26.1 g Ta d. 0.211 g Li
spayn [35]

Answer:

A. 0.295 mole

B. 0.055 mole

C.0.144 mole

D. 0.03 mole

Explanation:

To find the amount in moles, we simply use a mathematical relation that connects mass, atomic mass and number of moles.

Number of moles = mass/atomic mass

A. Atomic mass of Argon is 40

n = 11.8/40 = 0.295 mole

B. Atomic mass of zinc is 65

n = 3.55/65 = 0.055 mole

C. Atomic mass of Tantalum is 181

n = 26.1/181 = 0.144 mole

D. Atomic mass of lithium is 7

n = 0.211/7 = 0.03 mole

At a transform fault boundary
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Most of these faults are hidden in the deep ocean, where they offset divergent boundaries in short zigzags resulting from seafloor spreading, the best-known (and most destructive) being those on land at the margins of continental tectonic plates. A transform fault is the only type of strike-slip fault that is classified as a plate boundary.
