CHEM1211 Exam 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dilution | To properly go from one concentration of a substance to a weaker concentration M1V1=M2V2 |
| Photons | Particles of light |
| Continuous spectrum | Spectrum containing all the visible wavelengths of visible light as a result of white light passing through a prism |
| Line spectrum | A spectrum only showing discrete wavelengths |
| How to explain the line spectrum | With Bohr's model using the hydrogen atom |
| What did Bohr propose with his model | The electron in a hydrogen atom moves around the nucleus in circular orbits |
| What does a higher to lower electron state mean | Photon emission |
| What does a lower to higher electron state mean | Photon absorption |
| When is the energy of an electron zero | When the electron is free of the nucleus (n equals infinity) |
| What did Louis deBroglie propose | All types of matter can display wave-like properties lambda=h/mv |
| Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle | We cannot simultaneously know the speed and position of an electron |
| Uncertainty Principle equation | deltax*mdeltav is greater than or equal to h/4pi |
| EM spectrum by wavelength (lowest to highest) | Gamma rays, X-rays, UV, Visible Light, IR, microwaves, radio waves |
| Photoelectric effect | When light strikes the surface of certain metals, electrons are ejected |
| Postulates of the photoelectric effect | - Emission only occurs at certain threshold frequencies - The electrons in the metal are held together by a binding energy, and light must surpass that energy to eject these electrons - Once you surpass V0, the number of electrons depends on intensity |
| What does it mean when work is done on the system | Work (w) is positive |
| What does it mean when work is done by the system | Work (w) is negative |
| Enthalpy | The sum of a system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume |
| What is enthalpy equal to | The heat at constant pressure |
| C3H8 | Propane |
| Universe | System and surroundings |
| Do electron orbits have a negative energy level | Yes |
