What are the units for energy commonly employed in chemistry?
The SI unit of energy is joule (J). It is also the unit for work and amount of heat. The SI unit for energy is the same as the unit of work because energy is defined via work. The joule (J) named in honor of James Prescott Joule and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. 1 joule is equal to 1 newton metre.
Joule is comparatively small quantity of energy. It is defined as the amount of kinetic energy possessed by a 2-kg mass moving at a speed of 1 m/s.
Other definition of joule is the amount of energy exerted when a force of 1 newton (N) is given over a distance of 1 meter.
energy capacity to do work W = force × distance kg × m2/s2 = Joule = J

(If more than one compound fits the description, include all the relevant compounds by writing your answer as a string of characters without punctuation, e.g. ABC.) Without doing any calculations it is possible to determine that magnesium fluoride is more soluble than BCD and magnesium fluoride is less soluble than A It is not possible to determine whether magnesium fluoride is more or less soluble than |by simply comparing Kp values.arrow_forwardFor a Hydrogen Atom these energies can be calculated by the following equation: 1 Latulan he - - ATelacirun- R n Ru-2.179 x 10-18J (Hydrogen atom) The Helium Ion, Het, has energy levels similar to those of the hydrogen atom. The helium ion, like the hydrogen atom, has only one electron. This eliminates electron-electron interactions, and allows us to calculate the energies of the electron in each of the energy levels (n = 1, 2, 3 .) of the helium ion: 8.7149 x 10-18J Eçloetron - RH - 8.7149 x 1018J n (Helium Iou) The energy released as a photon (Ephoton), when the electron in the helium ion (He*) transitions from higher energy levels to lower energy levels in the ion, can be calculated by the equation: 1 + Ephoton - hc -- AEelectron - RHet ----- n?

- 1. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist that specialized in chemistry and physics. She wanted to understand how X-rays worked and noticed in her studies that the element, Uranium, gave off rays that could be measured but did not know what the rays were. She assumed that the rays came from the uranium itself instead of through different molecules interacting with each other. To study the rays, she used an instrument, called an electrometer, that studied the electricity that the rays passed through the air. Through this she was able to discover that the more uranium atoms there were in a compound, the stronger the rays that came off of it. She used this discovery to test other minerals that emitted more rays than Uranium, and discovered the elements Thorium, Polonium and Radium. Through her discoveries of these elements, scientists were able to find the structure of the atom and even how the rays can be used to fight cancer. What was Marie Curie’s observation? 2.
