Direct electron transfer from a a singlet reduced species to a triplet oxidizing species is quantum-mechanically forbidden.

<h3><u>Transfer from singlet to triplet:</u></h3>
  • Either an excited singlet state or an excited triplet state will occur when an electron in a molecule with a singlet ground state is stimulated (through radiation absorption) to a higher energy level.
  • All electron spins in a molecule electronic state known as a singlet are coupled.
  • In other words, the ground state electron and the stimulated electron's spin are still coupled (a pair of electrons in the same energy level must have opposite spins, per the Pauli exclusion principle).
  • The excited electron and ground state electron are parallel in a triplet state because they are no longer coupled (same spin).
  • It is less likely that a triplet state would arise when the molecule absorbs radiation since excitation to a triplet state necessitates an additional "forbidden" spin transfer.

- Calculate the Standard Enthalpy of the reaction below:
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have the three equations:

NH_{3(g)} + HCl_{(g)} => NH_4Cl_{(s)}  .....     \Delta H = ? (1)\\2HCl_{(g)} => H_{2(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} .... \Delta H = +184.6 kJ (2)\\2H_{2(g)} + 1/2N_{2(g)} + 1/2Cl_{2(g)} => NH_4Cl_{(s)} ..... \Delta H = -314.2 kJ (3)\\ N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)}  => 2NH_{3(g)} .... \Delta H  = +184.6kJ (4)

(can you double check that it is 184.6kJ for both equations 2 and 4 because it seems unlikely). We need to solve for equation 1 by addition and changing equations 2, 3 and 4. After possibly some trial and error, we can find that if we flip equations 4, multiply equation 3 by 2, add the equations together, and then finally divide by 2, we can get equation 1. We will get the answer of -314.2 kJ. However, I am again skeptical about the delta H values for equation 2 and 4 so double check that. This method might be super confusing and it is really hard to explain. So what I would suggest you to watch videos on Hess' law.

An ionic bond is a bond between ____.
exis [7]

An ionic bond is a bond which occurs when there is a difference in the electronegativity of the atoms. One atom which has a stronger electronegativity tends to steal the electron of the other less electronegative atom hence making it more negative (anion), while the other becomes a cation. So answer is:

<span>b. a cation and an anion</span>

How many grams are in 2.34 mol Co?
fgiga [73]

Hi! To find the amount of grams in 2.34 moles of cobalt, you must use the following equation:

2.34 mol Co * (58.93 g Co)/(1 mol Co)

The answer would therefore be 137.9 grams

Why ph changes disrupt protein's ionic bonds?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A change in pH in the protein habitat can modify its ionic bonds because because the chemical equilibrium shifts to one side or the other depends on the modification

Explanation:

The pH influences the charge acquired by the acidic and basic groups present in the molecules. Proteins usually have groups with characteristics of acid or weak base. Therefore, they are partially ionized in solution coexisting in equilibrium different species.

The degree of ionization of the different functional groups is in relation to the pH of the medium in which they are found, since the H3O + and OH- species are part of the equilibrium situation. Therefore, according to the pH, each group with characteristics of weak acid or base present in the molecule will be ionized to a lesser or greater extent. There are extreme situations where the balance has been totally displaced in one direction, for example: under very high pH conditions (low concentration of H3O +) weak acids are considered fully ionized, so the functional group will always have an electric charge. The same goes for the bases at very low pH values. In other equilibrium situations, species of the same molecule with different load will coexist in the solution, due to the pH value of the medium in which it is found.
