The energy required to ionize boron is 801 kJ/mol. You may want to reference (Pages 93 - 98) Section 2.5 while completing this problem. Part A What minimum frequency of light is required to ionize boron

Respuesta :

Answer:

The frequency is  [tex]f =  2,01 * 10^{15} \  Hz  [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The energy required to ionize boron is [tex]E_b  =  801 KJ/mol[/tex]

Generally the ionization energy of boron pre atom is mathematically represented as

     [tex]E_a  =  \frac{E_b}{N_A}[/tex]

Here  [tex]N_A[/tex] is the Avogadro's constant with value [tex]N_A  =  6.022*10^{23}[/tex]

So

      [tex]E_a  =  \frac{801}{6.022*10^{23}}[/tex]

=>     [tex]E_a  =  1.330 *10^{-18} \  J/atom [/tex]

Generally the energy required to liberate one electron from an atom is equivalent to the ionization energy per atom and this mathematically represented as

       [tex]E =  hf  =  E_a[/tex]

=>     [tex]  hf  =  E_a[/tex]

Here h is the Planks constant with value [tex]h = 6.626 *10^{-34}[/tex]

So

       [tex]f =  \frac{1.330 *10^{-18}}{ 6.626 *10^{-34}}[/tex]

=>      [tex]f =  2,01 * 10^{15} \  Hz  [/tex]
