When 1.608 g of krypton (Kr, Z = 36) is injected into the flask, the total pressure of the helium and krypton mixture is found to be 948 torr at 24.0°C. What mass of helium is in the flask? (The volume of the flask and the amount of helium in the flask remain the same throughout; the krypton is simply being added to the same flask that already contains the helium.) Find P for the krypton: ⎛ 1.608 g ⎞ L torr (62.364 )(297.15 K) ⎜ ⎟ mol K n Kr RT ⎝ 83.80 g/mol ⎠ PKr = = =236.98 torr V 1.50 L Subtract from total P to get PHe = 948 – 236.98 = 711 torr Solve for moles then mass of helium: nHe = PHeV = RT (711 torr)(1.50 L) = 0.05755 mol , and that means 0.2304 g L torr (62.364 )(297.15 K) mol K Alternatively: nKr = 1.608 g = 0.01919 mol 83.8 g/mol nTotal = PTotalV = RT (948 torr)(1.50 L) = 0.07673 mol L torr (62.364 )(297.15 K) mol K Subtract those to get nHe = 0.07673 – 0.01919 = 0.05755 mol Which again is 0.2304 g © 2015 L.S. Brown A5 6. An atom originally in its ground state absorbs a photon (we can call it ‘A’) with a wavelength of 100.0 nm as it makes a transition to a higher energy state. The atom then emits two photons: one (B) with wavelength 500.0 nm to reach an intermediate energy level, and then a second (C) to return to the ground state. (5 pts) (a). In the box to the right, sketch an energy level diagram depicting this process. Label the various transitions as A, B, and C to B show which one corresponds to each of the photons. (λA = 100 nm, λB = 500 nm, and λC is unknown.) E A C (10 pts) (b). Find the frequency of photon C (the second emitted photon). I’ll start by finding the E’s for the 2 given wavelengths: hc (6.626 × 10 –34 Js)(2.9979 × 108 m/s) = = 1.986 × 10 –18 J –9 λ 100 × 10 m –34 hc (6.626 × 10 Js)(2.9979 × 108 m/s) EB = = = 3.973 × 10 –19 J –9 λ 500 × 10 m EA = The diagram shows us that C = A – B, so we subtract those 2 E’s to get EC = (1.986 – 0.3973) ×10–18 J = 1.589 ×10–18 J Convert that to frequency: ν= A6 E 1.589 × 10 –18 J = = 2.40 × 1015 s –1 h 6.626 × 10 –34 Js © 2015 L.S.

A 1.50-L glass bulb is filled with CO gas to a pressure of 1.20 atm at 73.0°C, and then 0.5869 g of pure Ni is added. If the reaction described above occurs and goes to completion at constant temperature, what will the final total pressure in the bulb be? (You can assume that any volume occupied by the solid nickel is negligible compared to the volume of the flask.) This is a limiting reagent problem. So I’ll start by writing the equation for the reaction. Ni(s) + 4 CO(g) → Ni(CO)4(g) Next find moles of each reactant. CO: n= Ni: PV (1.20 atm)(1.50 L) = = 0.0634 mol RT (0.08206 L atm )(346 K) mol K 0.5869 g = 0.01 mol 58.69 g/mol So the nickel is the limiting reagent. At the end of the reaction, the flask will contain the Ni(CO)4 product PLUS the left over CO that did not react. We will get 0.01 mol of the product, because we have 1:1 mole ratio with Ni. Find the amount of CO that DOES react with the nickel, then subtract from the initial amount. 4 mol CO = 0.0400 mol CO used up 1 mol Ni 0.0634 mol CO initially – 0.0400 mol CO used up = 0.0234 mol CO left 0.01 mol Ni × So total moles of gas is 0.01 + 0.0234 = 0.0334. Finally, use gas law to find P: L atm nRT (0.0334 mol)(0.08206 mol K )(346 K) P= = = 0.632 atm (or 480 torr) V (1.50 L) © 2015 L.S. Brown A7 (12 pts) 8. When a photoelectric effect experiment was carried out using a metal 'M' and light at wavelength λ1, electrons were emitted with a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10–19 J. The wavelength was reduced to 1/2 of its original value and the experiment was repeated (still using the same metal target). This time electrons were emitted with a kinetic energy of 8.1 × 10–19 J. Find the electron binding energy for metal M. (The actual wavelengths used were not recorded, but it is still possible to find the binding energy.) There are a few ways to start. I think the easiest is to see that the difference in the KE’s given is the difference in the photon energies (because the binding E doesn’t change). Then also see that the photons with λ 2 will have twice the energy of those with λ 1. So the difference in energies is equal to the energy of the original (λ 1) photons. Then I can solve for the binding E: 8.1 × 10 –19 J – 1.9 × 10 –19 J = 6.2 × 10 –19 J 6.2 × 10 –19 J = photon energy at λ1 6.2 × 10 –19 J = BE + 1.9 × 10 –19 J so BE = 4.3 × 10 –19 J More in equations: hc hc = BE + KE1 and = BE + KE2 λ1 λ2 But we know that λ 2 = 1 λ 1, so: 2 hc 2hc = BE + KE1 and = BE + KE2 λ1 λ1 Subtract the 1st of those from the 2nd and get hc = KE1 – KE2 = 6.2 × 10 –19 J λ1 Put that into A8 hc = BE + KE1 and get BE = 4.3 × 10–19 J λ1 © 2015 L.S.
