What does the photoelectric effect prove?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elza [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em>By showing that changing the frequency of light causes the emission of faster electrons. </em>

Explanation:

<em>The photoelectric effect happens when light strikes a metal surface causing the emission of electrons from it (photoelectrons). </em>

<em>If you increase the intensity of the light you get, as acresult, more electrons emitted but their kinetic energy does not increase. </em>

<em>If you increase the frequency of the incident light the number of photoelectrons emitted does not increase while the velocity, and so their kinetic energy, increases...the emitted electrons are more...energetic! </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This can be explained considering the incident light as a shower of particle-like packets of energy (photons); if you increase the intensity you simply increase the number of packets (all with the same energy) hitting the metal; these can be used by a lot of electrons to escape. </em>

<em>On the other hand if you increase the frequency the number of packets remains the same (emitting fewer electrons perhaps) but the energy carried by each of them increases. </em>

<em>Each packet carries an energy directly proportional to the frequency.</em>

C12H26O + SO3+NaOH ----&gt; C12H25NaSO4+ H2O
Vlad [161]

Answer:

We can solve this by the method of which i solved your one question earlier

so again here molar mass of C12H25NaSO4 is 288.372 and number of moles for 11900 gm of C12H25NaSO4 will be = 11900/288.372

which is almost = 41.26 moles

so to get one mole of C12H25NaSO4 we need one mole of C12H26O

so for 41.26 moles of C12H25NaSO4 it will require 41 26 moles of C12H26O

so the mass of C12H26O = 41.26× its molar mass

C12H26O = 41.26×186.34

= 7688.38 gm!!

so the conclusion is If you need 11900 g of C12H25NaSO4 (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) you need C12H26O 7688.38 gm !!

Again i d k wether it's right or wrong but i tried my best hope it helped you!!

In the laboratory a student finds that it takes 44.0 Joules to increase the temperature of 10.6 grams of solid zinc from 24.9 to
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

44.0 J needed

Mass of solid zinc = 10.6 grams

Initial temperature = 24.9 °C

Final temperature = 36.4 °C

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate the specific heat of zinc

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ with Q = heat (in Joule) = 44.0 J

⇒ with m = the mass of the solid zinc = 10.6 grams

⇒ with c = the specific heat of the zinc = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2-T1 = 36.4 °C - 24.9 °C = 11.5 °C

44.0 J = 10.6 grams * c * 11.5°C

c = 44.0 J / (10.6g * 11.5 °C)

c = 0.361 J/g°C

The specific heat of zinc is 0.361 J/g°C
