consider the sodium vapor lamps described in question 7. how much energy is emitted by 45.8 mg of sodium atoms emitting light at this wavelength? assume each sodium atom emits one photon. answer in joules and round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

The Planck equation and rules of direct proportions can be found that the amount of energy emitted by sodium the answer is;

              E = 2.2 10⁻¹³ J

Planck's equation establishes a relationship for the energy of photons

          E = h f

          c = λ f

          E = [tex]\frac{h \ c}{\lambda}[/tex]

Where E is the energy, h the Planck constant (h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s), f the frequency of radiation, c the speed of light and λ the wavelength

The energy emitted by each sodium atom is the energy of the emitted radiation that has a wavelength of 590 nm, two lines close together, indicate that each atom emits a photon, its energy is

             E₀ =  [tex]\frac{6.63 \ 10^{-34} \ 3 \ 10^8}{ 590 \ 10^{-9}}[/tex]

             E₀ = 3.37 10⁻¹⁹ j

We look for the mass of a mole of sodium in the periodic table

             PM = 29.9897uma ( [tex]\frac{1.66 \ 10^{-17} kg}{1 una}[/tex]) = 49.78 10⁻²⁷ kg

With a direct rule of proportions we can find the atoms of sodium in the lamp. If in mol of sodium it has a mass 49.78 10⁻²⁷ kg and has avogadro number 6.022 10²³ atoms. How many atoms are there in 45.8 10⁻⁹ kg

               # sodium atoms = [tex]\frac{49.78\ 10^{-27} \ 6.022 \ 10^{23}}{ 45.8 \ 10^{-9}}[/tex]

               #_atom Sodium = 6.54 10⁵ Sodium atoms.

Let's use a direct ratio rule, If a sodium atom emits an energy Eo, how much energy do you emit? 6.54 105 atoms

              E = Eo  # _atmos / 1 atom

              E = 3.37 10⁻¹⁹ 6.54 10⁵

              E = 2.2 10⁻¹³ J

In conclusion, using the Planck equation and direct proportions rules we can find the amount of energy emitted by sodium, the answer is;

              E = 2.2 10⁻¹³ J
