1.6g sample of He+ ions are excited to emit radiations . Spectral study of sample indicates that highest excited state is 2nd and that total no of ions in 1st and 2nd excited state is one third of ions in ground state.Total energy evolved on de-excitation of sample is 429.5kJ.Let X be the percentage of He + ions in second excited stage in original sample .Find the value of [X/6.25] Share with your friends Share 3 Vartika Jain answered this Dear Student, Moles of He+=MassAtomic mass =1.64 =0.04 molNow, 1 mol of He+ contains 6.022×1023 ionsSo, 0.04 mol of He+ contains 0.04×6.022×1023 =2.408×1022 ionsHence, total no. of ions =2.408×1022 ionsLet a be the total ions in 2nd excited state and b be the ions in 1st excited state. c is the ions in ground state. So, 13(a+b)=cor, 13a+13b-c = 0 ...(i)also, a+b+c=2.408×1022 ..(ii)On adding these two equation, we can find the value of a+b and then label the equation (iii)When all the excited ions return to normal state, the energy released= Energy released during deexcitation from II to I+ Energy released during deexcitation from III to Ior, 429.5 × 103 J = [E2-E1]×b + [E3-E1]×aor, 429.5 × 103 = [(-13.622×22-(-13.612×22)]×b + [(-13.632×22-(-13.612×22)]×a On solving these two, one more equation in terms of a+b will be formed which is labelled (iv)and, solving (iii) and (iv) we can get values of a and b and can eventually find the value of X. -1 View Full Answer
