Question

1) An energetically excited hydrogen atom has its electron ina 5f sublevel. The electron drops down to the 3d sublevel,releasing a photon in the process. Given the values:     R =1.097*107m-1      h = 6.626*10-34J.s     c =2.998*108m/s (a) What wavelength of light is emittted by the process? (b) The hydrogen atom now has a single electron in the 3dsublevel. What is the energy in kJ/mol required to remove thiselectron?      Use the constants given above 1) An energetically excited hydrogen atom has its electron ina 5f sublevel.

Explanation / Answer

   An energetically excited hydrogen atom hasits electron in a 5f sublevel. The electron drops down to the 3dsublevel, releasing a photon in the process. Given the values:     R =1.097*107m-1      h = 6.626*10-34J.s     c =2.998*108m/s Given the values:     R =1.097*107m-1      h = 6.626*10-34J.s     c =2.998*108m/s    a)wavelength of light is emittted by theprocess:       The specific data isni= 5    nf=3       E=  2.179*10-18j(1/52-1/32)            = 2.179*10-18 J *-0.0711            =-0.1549269*10-18 J        When a photon is emittedni> nf concequently the term in parenthises is negative andE is negative .Energy is lost to surroundings .           = ch/ E              =( 2.998*108m/s* 6.626*10-34J.s  ) /0.1549269*10-18 J                =(19.864748 *10-26m*J) /  0.1549269*10-18 J               =128.220* 10-8 m               =  128.220* 10-8 m*(1nm/10-9m)               =1282nm      b)   The energies that canelectron in the hydrogen atom is            En = -RH (1/n2)                 = 2.18*10-18 J (1/32)                 = 0.2422*10-18 J/mol                  =0.2422*10-15 kJ/mol of energy required to removethis electron                 When a photon is emittedni> nf concequently the term in parenthises is negative andE is negative .Energy is lost to surroundings .           = ch/ E              =( 2.998*108m/s* 6.626*10-34J.s  ) /0.1549269*10-18 J                =(19.864748 *10-26m*J) /  0.1549269*10-18 J               =128.220* 10-8 m               =  128.220* 10-8 m*(1nm/10-9m)               =1282nm      b)   The energies that canelectron in the hydrogen atom is            En = -RH (1/n2)                 = 2.18*10-18 J (1/32)                 = 0.2422*10-18 J/mol                  =0.2422*10-15 kJ/mol of energy required to removethis electron
