Answer:

A: Antibonding molecular orbitals are higher in energy than all of the bonding molecular orbitals.

Explanation:

Molecular orbital theory describes <u>covalent bonds in terms of molecular orbitals</u>, which result from interaction of the atomic orbitals of the bonding atoms and are associated with the entire molecule.

A bonding molecular orbital has lower energy and greater stability than the atomic orbitals from which it was formed. An antibonding molecular orbital has higher energy and lower stability than the atomic orbitals from which it was formed.

Electrons in the antibonding molecular orbital have higher energy (and less stability) than they would have in the isolated atoms. On the other hand, electrons in the bonding molecular orbital have less energy (and hence greater stability) than they would have in the isolated atoms.

Which statement describes a catalyst?

Mrac [35]

Answer:

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself getting consumed. It is known that all catalysts are enzymes but all enzymes are not catalysts.

A series of experiments investigating the reaction of (CH3)3CCl with H2O to create (CH3)3OH produces a plot of Ln[(CH3)3CCl] vs.

Helga [31]

Explanation:

There will occur a straight line for the curve of Ln[(CH_{3})_{3}CCl] Vs. time. Since, it is a first order reaction therefore, the formula of its half-life will be as follows.

Half-life = $\frac{ln 2}{k}$

or, k = $\frac{ln 2}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

= $\frac{ln 2}{220} sec^{-1}$

So, rate of the reaction will be as follows.

Rate = $[(CH_{3})_{3}CCl]^{1}$

= $\frac{ln 2}{220} sec^{-1} \times 0.15 M$

= 0.000473 $Ms^{-1}$

= $4.73 \times 10^{-4} Ms^{-1}$

Thus, we can conclude that the instantaneous rate of given reaction is $4.73 \times 10^{-4} Ms^{-1}$ .

If 45.0 mL of 0.25 M HCl is required to completely neutralize 25.0 mL of NH3, what is the concentration of the NH3 solution? Sho

Molodets [167]

Hcl + nh3 -> nh4cl (balanced eqn)

no. of mol of hcl = vol. (L) x molarity = 0.045 × 0.25 = 0.01125mol

ratio of hcl:nh3 after balancing eqn = 1:1

no. of mol of nh3 that is completely neutralised by hcl = 0.01125 × 1 = 0.01125mol

therefore, concentration of nh3 = mol / total volume (L) = 0.01125mol / 0.025L= 0.45M
