Explanation

Key Idea : According to Heisenberg’s uncertainly principle, it is impossible to determine simultaneously the position and momentum of a moving microscopic particle, i.e.,

Δx X Δp ≥ h/4π

Δx X Δp ≥ h/4π

Here Δx = Δp and Δp = m.Δv

Δv2 = h/m24π

or Δ=1/2m hπ

Note : The uncertainty principle in terms of energy and time is given as

ΔE.Δt≥h/4π

The measurement of the electron position is associated with an uncertainty in momentum, which is equal to 1x10-18 g cm s-1. The uncertainty in electron velocity is,

(mass of an electron is 9 x 10-28 g)

Explanation

Key Idea: x x ph/4π

where, p = uncertainty in momentum and v = uncertainty in velocity

Here, p = 1x10-18 g cm s-1

         m = 9x10-28 g

        v =p/m = (1x10-18)/(9x10-28) = 1.1 x 109 = 1.0 x109 cm s-1

Consider the following sets of quantum numbers:

              n         l         m         s

(ii)        2         2         1          +1/2

(iii)       4         3        -2           -1/2

(iv)       1         0        -1           -1/2

(v)        3         2         3           +1/2

Which of the following sets of quantum numbers is not possible?

Explanation

(c) The value of l varies from 0 to n-l and the value of m varies from -l to +l through zero. The value of 's' ± 1/2 which signifies the spin of an electron. The correct sets of quantum number are the following:

         n              l            m             s

(ii)     2             1            1             +1/2

(iv)    1             0            0             -1/2

(v)    3              2            2             +1/2      

Given: The mass of electron is 9.11 x 10-31 kg

Planck constant is 6.626 x 10-34 Js,

the uncertainty involved in the measurement of velocity within a distance of 0.1 A° is:

Explanation

By Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

  p x xh/4πor v x xh/4πm

puncertainty in momentum

xuncertainty in position

vuncertainty in velocity

mmass of particle

Given that,

x = 0.1 A° = 0.1 x 10-10 m

m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg

h = planck constant = 6.626 x 10-34 Js

π=3.14

In uncertain position v x x = h/4πm

v x 0.1 x 10-10 = (6.626 x 10-34)/(4 x 3.14 x 9.11 x 10-31) ms-1

                  v = (6.626 x 10-34)/(4 x 3.14 x 9.11 x 10-31 x 0.1 x 10-10) ms-1

                        =5.785 x 106 ms-1

                         =5.79 x 106 ms-1

Explanation

The orientation of an atomic orbital is governed by magnetic quantum number.

Iodine molecule dissociates into atoms after absorbing light of 4500 A. If one quantum of radiation is absorbed by each molecule, calculate the kinetic energy of iodine atoms. Bond energy of I2 is 240 kJ mol-1.

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The dissociation reaction is I22I

Bond energy per single bond is

ε=240 kJ mol-16.023×103 mol-1=3.985×10-22 kJ =3.985×10-19J

Energy of 1 photon of wavelength 4500 A is

E=hcλ=6.626×10-34 J s3×108 m s-14500×10-10 m=4.417×10-19 J

Of the energy 4.417×10-19 J, the energy consumed to break I2 molecules is 3.985×10-19 J. The remaining energy is used in imparting kinetic energy to the two iodine atoms. Hence, Kinetic energy per iodine atom

=4.417-3.985×10-19 J2=2.16×10-20 J.
