It takes 486.0 kj/mol to convert sodium atoms to na+ ions. sodium atoms absorb and emit light of wavelengths 589.6 and 590.0 nm. calculate the energy of the 590.0 nm light in kilojoules per mole.

the answer is c. nacl

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
