Suppose a system of two particles, represented by circles, have the possibility of occupying energy states with 0, 10, or 20 J.

Collectively, the particles must have 20 J of total energy. Are there any other energetically equivalent configurations?

Answer:

Explanation:

The possible energy states for the particles are 0, 10 and 20 J.  

The constraint in the system is that the total energy of the particles must be 20 J.

One given configuration where the total energy is 20 J is if both the particles occupy the 10 J state.

Hence, (10;10) is the given configuration.

Another possibility is if one of the particle is in 0 J state and another is in 20 J state. Hence, the system has a total energy of 0+20 = 20 J.

Hence, the possible configuration can be written as (0;20) or (20;0) which are energetically equivalent to the given configuration. Note that if the circles are indistinguishable, then the configuration (0,20) and (20,0) is the same thing.

Calculate the molar concentration of the Br⁻ ions in 0.51 M MgBr2(aq), assuming that the dissolved substance dissociates complet
Y_Kistochka [10]
MgBr2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Br⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MgBr2 that dissolves.
MgBr2(s) --> Mg+(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)
            [Br⁻] = 0.51 mol MgBr2/1L × 2 mol Br⁻ / 1 mol MgBr2 = 1.0 M
The answer to this question is [Br⁻] = 1.0 M

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.

Consider the elements: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The elements mentioned in the series are Na, Mg, Al, Si, and P. It can be seen that all these elements are located in the same period. The atomic number of the mentioned elements are Na-11, Mg-12, Al-13, Si-14, and P-15.

a) There will be an increase in the ionization energy with the increase in the element's atomic number across a period. More energy is needed to withdraw an electron from a completely occupied shell in comparison to an incompletely occupied shell.

The atomic number of Na is 11. When one electron is withdrawn from Na, it gets converted into the inert gas configuration of Ne. Thus, it will require more energy to withdraw the second electron from Na. Hence, Na exhibits the lowest second ionization energy.

b) Across the period, with an increase in the element's atomic number, the atomic radii reduces from left to right. Thus, P exhibits the smallest atomic radius.

c) The metallic nature of the elements reduces from left to right across a period in the periodic table. Thus, P is the least metallic element.

d) Diamagnetic signifies towards the element that exhibits pair electrons in its sub-shells. The electronic configuration of Mg is,

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

In Mg, no unpaired electrons are present, while all the remaining elements mentioned exhibit unpaired electrons in their valence shell. Thus, Mg is the diamagnetic element.
