Question

LIL Calculations (15x3) (show the reasoning and working out, No credit if only the answer!) 1. Calculate the energy, in joules, required to excite a hydrogen atom by causing an electronic transition from the n 1 to the n A principal energy level. The value of 18 Rydbergs constant is 2.18 x10 J. (E -RH 1/n?))

Answer #1

The energy of nth orbit is = En = -RH (1/n2)

Hence E1 = -2.18 x 10-18 / 12

= -2.18 x 10-18 J

and E4 = -2.18 x 10-18 / 42

= - 0.13625 x 10-18 J

Hence the energy of excitation from n=1 to n=4 is

E4 - E1 = - 0.13625 x 10-18 J - (-2.18 x 10-18 J )

= 2.04375 x10-18 J
