When a piece of metal is irradiated with UV radiation (λ = 162 nm), electrons are ejected with a kinetic energy of 3.54×10-19 J.

What is the work function of the metal?

We have that the work function of the metal

\phi=1.227*10^{-18}J

From the Question we are told that

UV radiation (λ = 162 nm)

Kinetic energy K.E =3.54*10-19 J.

Generally the equation for Kinetic energy    is mathematically given as

KE =\frac{hc}{\pi-\phi} \\\\\phi =\frac{ 6.626*10^{-34} * 3*10^8}{162*10^{-9} -3.54*10^{-19}}

\phi=1.227*10^{-18}J

Which of these half-reactions represents reduction?
gogolik [260]

Answer: The half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Explanation:

A half-reaction where addition of electrons take place or a reaction where decrease in oxidation state of an element  takes place is called reduction-half reaction.

For example, the oxidation state of Cr in Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} is +6 which is getting converted into +3, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3 e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

Similarly, oxidation state of Mn in MnO^{-}_{4} is +7 which is getting converted into +2, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

MnO^{2-}_{4} + 5 e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Thus, we can conclude that half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

1. Most of the chemicals included in your General Chemistry Lab kit can be discarded down a drain. Describe a situation in which
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Chemicals like acids and bases are harmful and must be neutralized before draining.

Explanation:

A strong acid or strong base is required to be diluted or neutralized before it is discarded in the drain as if is discarded without diluting and neutralization it can spill and splash from sink or drain and can harm people in chemistry lab, moreover the fumes of the discarded chemical on spilling can cause respiratory tract burning and can even cause fire hazard so it must be converted into less harmful form and then must be drained.

In a sealed gas-liquid system at constant temperature, eventually...?
SOVA2 [1]
<h2>Let us study about it .</h2>

Explanation:

Evaporation

It is the process of converting liquid into vapors .

Condensation

It is the process of converting  vapors back into liquid state .

  1. Suppose if we have a sealed container and we are supplying it with no or little heat , we will see that as we increase heat , the particles starts moving faster .
  2. When they move they also colloide and transfer energies .
  3. The kinetic energies of certain molecule increase to an extent that they leave the other particles and escape in atmosphere .
  4. That is evaporation occurs .At the same time when these vapors collide with each other or with the walls of container they get cooled and again get converted to liquid state .

It is seen that  a equilibrium is reached when "rate of evaporation becomes equal to rate of condensation ".

morpeh [17]

Answer/Explanation:

Aluminum and oxygen

Fluorine and oxygen

Ionic compounds are formed when any type of metal is combined with a non-metal such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, and selenium.

(any)metal + nonmetal = ionic compound
