Answer

$3.16\times10^{-34}kg \cdot m^2/s$.

Work Step by Step

Use the energy to calculate n for this state. $$E_n=-\frac{-13.6eV}{n^2}$$ $$-1.51eV=-\frac{-13.6eV}{n^2}$$ $$n=3$$ Now use the Bohr equation to calculate L. $$L=n\hbar=3.16\times10^{-34}kg \cdot m^2/s $$ In Section 41.3, we will find that the modern quantum mechanical model gives a slightly different result.
