The work function of an element is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the solid. The work function fo

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

λ = 2.38 × 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

We are given the work function for palladium as 503.7 kJ/mol.

Now let's convert this to KJ/electron.

We know from avogadro's number that;

1 mole of electron = 6.022 × 10^(23) electrons

Thus,

503.7 kJ/mol = 503.7 × 1/(6.022 × 10^(23)) = 8.364 × 10^(-22) KJ/electron = 8.364 × 10^(-19) J/electron

Formula for energy of a photon is;

E = hv

Where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10^(-34) J.s

v is velocity

Now, v = c/λ

Where;

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

λ is wavelength of light.

Thus;

E = hc/λ

Making λ the subject, we have;

λ = hc/E

λ = (6.626 × 10^(-34) × 3 × 10^(8))/(8.364 × 10^(-19))

λ = 2.38 × 10^(-7) m

Please Help! Let P and V represent the pressure and volume of Xe(g). If a piston is used to reduce the volume of the gas to V/2

Elza [17]

1) 2P

2) Average speed does not change

Explanation:

1)

To solve the first part of the problem, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

Mathematically:

$pV=const.$

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is its volume

For the Xe gas in this problem we can write

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

where:

$p_1 = P$ is the initial pressure

$V_1=V$ is the initial volume

$V_2=\frac{V}{2}$ is the final volume

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure:

$p_2=\frac{P V_1}{V_2}=\frac{pV}{V/2}=2P$

So, the pressure has doubled.

2)

The average speed of the atoms/molecules in the gas is given by the formula

$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

where

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature (in Kelvin) of the gas

M is the molar mass of the gas

$v_{rms}$ is known as rms speed of the particles in the gas

From the formula, we see that the speed of the atoms in the gas depends only on the temperature of the gas.

In the Xe(g) gas in this problem, the temperature is kept constant; therefore, since nothing changes in the formula, this means that the average speed also does not change.

My high school chemistry is learning this and I don't understand it. "Heat is measured by the following equation:

tangare [24]

Answer:

you didn't ask a question so here is your explanation.

Explanation:

Q = mc∆T. Q = heat energy (Joules, J) m = mass of a substance (kg) c = specific heat (units J/kg∙K) ∆ is a symbol meaning "the change in"

What are 5 physical changes in matter

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

cutting, bending, dissolving, freezing, and boiling

Explanation:

A physical change is a change in one or more physical properties of matter without any change in chemical properties. In other words, matter doesn't change into a different substance in a physical change. Examples of physical change include but are not limited to, from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas are also physical changes.
