A wave has a frequency of 8.65 MHz. What is the wavelength, in m? 

(3 x 10^8) / (8.65 x 10^6 Hz) = 34.7 m

100

Which of these elements has the smallest first ionization energy? Which has the largest second ionization energy?

K, Ca, Ga, Ge, As

K: has 1 valence electron, so that one can be easily pulled off. However, the second electron is not valence, so it will take more energy to pull off. Also, ionization energy increases as you go across a period.

What is the change in energy of a system if 100 kJ of heat are released to the system, and 25 kJ of heat are done on the system? Is this endothermic or exothermic?

-75 kJ

Exothermic

For sulfur, complete the following:

1.) electron configuration 

2.) orbital diagram 

3.) core, outer, and valence electrons

4.) predict the charge and configuration of stable ion

What is the energy, in J, of a 423 nm wavelength? 

E = (6.626 x10^-34 Js)(3x10^8) / (423 x 10^-9 m) = 4.7 x 10^-19 J

200

Describe the periodic trends from left to right for the following: 

* atomic radius 

* first ionization energy 

* electron affinity

* atomic radius decreases

* first ionization energy increases

* electron affinity becomes more negative (ability to gain electron increases)

Write the electron configuration of Tl. 

[Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p1

200

When is change in enthalpy equal to q?

when pressure is constant = no work done by volume compression or expansion 

200

Why, for transition metals, are the number of valence electrons and outer electrons different? Why are these numbers the same for main group elements?

Transition metal valence electrons INCLUDE the d shell. Outer electrons include those only in the s and p subshells, because these have the highest n value. 

It's the same number for main group elements because their d shells are full.

The energy change of an electron transition in an element was measured to be E = 5.3 X 10-12 J. a) Does this represent an emission or absorption of a photon? b) What is the wavelength, in m, of the line that would appear on this elements line spectrum for this transition? 

a) positive, so emission

b) E = hc / wavelength

wavelength = hc / E = (6.626 x 10^-34)(3x10^8) / (5.3 x 10^12) 

= 3.8 x 10^-14 m

Which law is being violated: 

Pauli's exclusion principle 

300

Consider the volume of a system that changes from 7 L to 25 L against a constant pressure. What is the change in volume? Is this an expansion or compression? What is the sign of w? Is work being done on the system or by the system? 

Increases by 18 L, so it's expanding and doing work on the environment, so work is negative.

What is the energy associated with a wavelength of 235 micrometers? 

E = (6.626 x 10^-34)(3 x 10^8) / (235 x 10^-6) =

Write the condensed electron configuration and determine the number of a) inner b) outer and c) valence electrons for Mn. 

[Ar]4s2 3d5 

inner: 18
outer: 2
valence: 7

What are the signs associated with these values of q and w of a system:

The system RELEASES heat

The system has work DONE on it

Can you determine the sign of E? 

Releases heat: -q 

Work done on it: +w 

Can't determine the sign of E, depends on the magnitude of the values of q and w.

50g of aluminum at 25 degrees C absorbs 5000 J of energy. What is the final temperature?

c of aluminum = 0.900 J/g C

Cobalt can form two cations: a +2 cation, and a 3+ cation. What are the electron configurations for the neutral element and both cations?

Predict the configuration of  the stable ions of the elements below: 

Sc +2

Mo +1

Sc: [Ar]3d1

Mo: [Kr] 4d5

- Mo neutral is [Kr] 5s1 4d5 because it is stabilized by a half full d shell, so it only loses the 5s1 one to be +1

How much heat energy, in J, is absorbed by 50.0 g of aluminum when it is heated from 20 degrees C to 100 degrees C? The specific heat capacity of aluminum is 0.90 J/g C.

If 100g of iron is heated with 300 J of energy and its temperature increases by 10 degrees C, what is irons specific heat capacity? dont forget units. 

300 = (100g)c(10degrees C)
