Q.

In a mixture of HHe+  gas (He+ is singly ionized He atom).  H atoms and He+  ions are excited to  their respective first excited states.  Subsequently.  H atoms transfer their total excitation energy to He+ ions (by collisions).  Assume that the Bohr model of atom is exactly valid.  The quantum number n of the state finally populated in  He+ ions is

Detailed Solution

For hydrogen hydrogen like atoms 
 En=13.6z2n2eV/atom
For hydrogen atom  E1=13.6eV(forn=1)
 (Z=1)           E2=3.4eV(forn=2)
 ΔE=E2E1=3.4(13.6)=10.2eV
i.e., When hydrogen comes to ground state from its first excited state it will release 10.2 eV 
of energy.
For  He+ion         E1=13.6×4eV=54.4eV(forn=1)

E2=13.6×eV(forn=2) E3=6.04eV(forn=3)        E4=3.4eV(forn=4)

Here He+ ion is in the first excited state i.e..possessing energy  13.6eV. After receiving 
energy  of  +10.2eV from excited hydrogen atom on collision, the energy of (13.6  10.2)eV=3.4eV. electron will be  Hence the quantum number of the state finally populated in He+ ions , n=4.
