| Atomic Structure Practice Problems: 1.) Calculate the frquency of red light of wavelength 6.50 * 102 nm 2.) 6.42 * 10-19 J of energy is required to remove an electron from a silver atom. What is the maximum wavelength of light that can do this? 3.) Calculate the DE when the following transition occurs in a hydrogen atom: n = 3 ---> n = 1 3b.) Calculate the wave length of light emitted as a hydrogen electron move from n = 1 to n = 3 4.) Give the quantum numbers l, ml, and the number of orbitals for n = 4 5.) Give the electron configurations for: a.) Sr b.) Pt c.) S 6.) Calculate the ionization energy of the Li2+ ion with the electron in its ground state. 7.) Find the wavelength emitted from an electron (m = 9.11 * 10-31 kg) traveling at 2.0 * 10-8 m/s 1.) v = c / l c = 2.9979 * 108 m/s l = 6.50 * 102 nm * (1m/109 nm) = 6.50 * 10-9 m (2.9979 * 108 m/s) / ( 6.50 * 10-9 m ) = 4.61 * 1014 Hz 2.) DE = hv (h = 6.6326 * 10-34 J * s) v = c / l Replace the v in the first equation with the lower equation: DE = (hc) / l Plugging in all the constants (remember, both h and c are constants), and plugging in for DE, the answer is: 3.09 * 10-7, which converts to 309 nm. 3.) E = -2.178 * 10-18 J (Z2/n2) E1 ==> n = 3 ===> -2.178 * 10-18 (12/32) = -2.42 * 10-19 E2 ==> n = 1 ===> -2.178 * 10-18 (12/12) = -2.18 * 10-18 DE = E2 - E1 = -2.18 * 10-18 + 2.42 * 10-19 = -1.936 * 10-18 J 3b.) The same process is done, except E1 will have n = 1 and E2 will have n = 3. The final step: DE = E2 - E1 = -2.42 * 10-19 + 2.18 * 10-18= 1.94 * 10-18 J You then convert to wavelength using l = hc/DE l = 103 nm 4.) l = (n-1) = 4 ml = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 7 orbitals (count the ml) 5.) a.) [Kr]5s2 b.) [Xe] 6s24f145d8 c.) [Ne] 3s23p4 6.) It is important to note that this is Li2+, not Li2+ has an electron configuration of 1s1 E = -(Z2 / n2) * 1310 kJ/mol = -( 32 / 12 ) * 1310 kJ/mol = 1.18 * 102 kJ 7.) l = h/mv (v is velocity, not frequency) (m in kg) l = h / (9.11 * 10-31)(2.0 * 108) |
