Convert electronvolt to hartree

Learn how to convert 1 electronvolt to hartree step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(electronvolt\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(hartree\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(joule\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(electronvolt\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.602176462 \times 10^{-19}\left(joule\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.602176462 \times 10^{-19}\left(J\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(hartree\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.359744 \times 10^{-18}\left(joule\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.359744 \times 10^{-18}\left(J\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(electronvolt\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(hartree\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.602176462 \times 10^{-19}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(joule\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.359744 \times 10^{-18}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(joule\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.602176462 \times 10^{-19}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(J\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.359744 \times 10^{-18}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(J\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 1.602176462 \times 10^{-19}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(J\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 4.359744 \times 10^{-18}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(J\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.602176462 \times 10^{-19} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.359744 \times 10^{-18}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(1.602176462 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancelto{10^{-1}}{10^{-19}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.359744 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{-18}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(1.602176462 \times 10^{-1} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.359744\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.359744 = 1.602176462 \times 10^{-1}\)
Isolate \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Multiply both sides by \(\left(\dfrac{1.0}{4.359744}\right)\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 4.359744 \times \dfrac{1.0}{4.359744} = 1.602176462 \times 10^{-1} \times \dfrac{1.0}{4.359744}\)
\(\text{Cancel}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{4.359744}} \times \dfrac{1.0}{{\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{4.359744}}} = 1.602176462 \times 10^{-1} \times \dfrac{1.0}{4.359744}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = \dfrac{1.602176462 \times 10^{-1}}{4.359744}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx0.0367493243\approx3.6749 \times 10^{-2}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(electronvolt\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 3.6749 \times 10^{-2}}\left(hartree\right)\)
