(a) 8.51 × 105 J mol-1
(b) 6.56 × 105 J mol-1
(c) 7.56 × 105 J mol-1
(d) 9.84 × 105 J mol-1

Answer

Answer: (d) 9.84 × 105 J mol-1
Energy required when an electron makes transition from n = 1 to n = 2
E2=−(1.312 × 106 × (1)²)/(2²)
= −3.28 × 105 J mol-1
E1 = −1.312 × 106 J mol-1
ΔE = E2 − E1
=−3.28 × 105−(−13.2 × 106)
ΔE = 9.84×105 J mol-1

Q.9. A gas absorbs a photon of 355 nm and emits at two wavelengths. If one of the emissions is at 680 nm, the other is at:
(a) 518 nm
(b) 1035 nm
(c) 325 nm
(d) 743 nm

Answer

Answer: (d) 743 nm
Explanation:
From Law of Conservation of energy, energy of absorbed photon must be equal to combined energy of two emitted photons.
ET = E1 + E2 ….. (1)
Where E1 is Energy of first emitted photon emitted and E2is Energy of second emitted photon.
Energy E and wavelength λ of a photon are related by the equation
E= (hc)/ (λ)….. (2)
Where Plancks constant = h, c is velocity of light.
Substituting the values from (2) in (1) we get
(hc/λT) = (hc)/ (λ1) + (hc)/ (λ2)
Or (1λ𝑇) = (1λ1) + (1λ2) …… (3)
Substituting given values in (3) we get
(1355) = (1680) + (1λ2)
Or (1)(λ𝑇) = (1355) − (1680)
⇒ (1λ2) = (680 − 355)/ (355 × 680)
⇒ λ2 = 742.77nm

The element is chromium is Cr.

Q.19. The electrons of the same orbitals can be distinguished by
(a) Principal quantum number
(b) Azimuthal quantum number
(c) Spin quantum number
(d) Magnetic quantum number

Answer (c) Spin quantum number
Electrons occupying the same orbital are distinguished by Spin quantum number. For spin Quantum number it has two values +1/2 or -1/2,
Hence the value of n, l , m are same for the two electrons occupying in the same orbitals, but only the is different, which is Therefore, Spin quantum number explains the direction through which the electron spins in an orbital. so obviously there are only 2 possible directions. Which is either clockwise or anticlockwise.
So the electron which are available in the same orbitals, must have opposite spins. Hence spin quantum number distinguished b/w the two electrons.

Answer (d) 9.84 × 105 J mol-1
Energy required when an electron makes transition from n = 1 to n = 2
E2 = −(1.312 × 106 × (1)²)/(2²)
= −3.28 × 105 J mol-1
E1 = −1.312 × 106 J mol-1
ΔE = E2 − E1
= −3.28 × 105−(−13.2 × 106)
ΔE = 9.84 × 105 J mol-1

Q.25. In Hydrogen atom, energy of first excited state is – 3.4 eV. Then find out KE of same orbit of Hydrogen atom
(a) 3.4 eV
(b) 6.8 eV
(c) -13.6 eV
(d) +13.6 eV

Answer (a) 3.4 eV
For hydrogen atom, The kinetic energy is equal to the negative of the total energy. And the potential energy is equal to the twice of the total energy. The first excited state energy of orbital = -3.4 eV and The kinetic energy of same orbital = -(-3.4 eV) = 3.4 eV Therefore, the kinetic energy of same orbit of hydrogen atom is 3.4 eV.
