What is the binding energy (in J/mol or kJ/mol) of an electron in a metal whose threshold frequency for photoelectrons is 2.50 u 1014 /s?

Respuesta :

Answer:

binding energy is 99771 J/mol

Exlanation:

given data

threshold frequency = 2.50 ×  [tex]10^{14}[/tex] Hz

solution

we get here binding energy using threshold frequency of the metal that is express as

[tex]E=h\nu_{o}[/tex]    ..................1

here E is the energy of electron per atom [tex]E=\frac{x}{N}[/tex]  and h is plank constant i.e. [tex]6.626\times10^{-34} Js[/tex]  and x is  binding energy

and here N is the Avogadro constant = [tex]6.023\times10^{23}[/tex]

so E will [tex]\frac{x}{6.023\times10^{23}}[/tex]  

E = [tex]3.19\times10^{-19} J[/tex]  

so put value in equation 1 we get

[tex]\frac{x}{6.023\times10^{23}}[/tex] = 2.50 ×  [tex]10^{14}[/tex] × [tex]6.626\times10^{-34} Js[/tex]  

solve it we get

x = 99770.99

so  binding energy is 99771 J/mol
