Homework Statement
The first excited state of Ca is reached by absorption of 422.7-nm light.
• Find the energy difference (kJ/mol) between ground and excited states.
• The degeneracies are g*/g0 = 3 for Ca. Find N*/N0 at 2 500 K.
• By what percentage will N*/N0 change with a 15-K rise in temperature?
• Find N*/N0 at 6 000 K.
Homework Equations
N2/N1 =(g2/g1 )^(-∆E/kT) (boltzmann distribution equation)
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that g* is 2 and g. is 1
The Boltzmann constant is 1.381 x 10 -23 j/K
However I'm not sure how to get the energy from this information. If someone could help me out to get me started I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
