Which of the following best describes the molecular orbital theory of bonding? Choose one: A. A theory of bonding based on the m

ixing of atomic orbitals of similar shapes and energies to form molecular orbitals that extend to two or more atoms B. A theory where the bonds and lone pairs of valence electrons in a molecule are represented in two-dimensions C. A theory that predicts the arrangement of valence electron pairs around a central atom minimizing their mutual repulsion to produce the lowest-energy orientations D. A theory of bonding that describes bonds as the electrostatic attraction between species of opposite charge E. A theory of bonding that assumes covalent bonds form when half-filled orbitals on different atoms overlap or occupy the same region in space

Answer:

A. The molecular orbital theory of bonding is based on the mixing of atomic orbitals of similar shapes and energies to form molecular orbitals that extend to two or more atoms  

Explanation:

When two atoms come close to each other, the waves of their atomic orbitals can interfere constructively or destructively, to form two new molecular orbitals that encompass the whole molecule.

B is wrong. It refers to Lewis structures.

C is wrong. It refers to VSEPR theory.

D is wrong. It refers to ionic bonding.

E. is wrong. It refers to valence bond theory.

A 1.25 g sample of aluminum is reacted with 3.28 g of copper (II) sulfate. What is the limiting reactant?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

d. Copper (II) sulfate

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al = 1.25 g

Mass of CuSO₄ = 3.28 g

What is limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3CuSO₄   →   Al₂ (SO₄)₃ + 3Cu

Number of moles of Al:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 1.25 g/ 27 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Number of moles of CuSO₄:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.28 g/ 159.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

               Al           :           Al₂ (SO₄)₃

                 2          :             1

               0.05       :          1/2×0.05=0.025 mol

                Al           :            Cu

                 2            :              3

               0.05         :            3/2×0.05 = 0.075 mol

         CuSO₄           :           Al₂ (SO₄)₃

                3             :             1

               0.02         :          1/3×0.02=0.007 mol

         CuSO₄           :            Cu

               3               :              3

               0.02         :              0.02

Less number of moles of reactants are produced by CuSO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant.

A 9.79 mol sample of freon gas was placed in a balloon. Adding 3.50 mol of freon gas to the balloon increased its volume to 21.8
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

16.06 L was the initial volume of the balloon.

Explanation:

Initial moles of freon in ballon = n_1=9.79 mol

Initial volume of freon gas in ballon = V_1=?

Moles of freon gas added in the balloon = n = 3.50 mole

Final moles of freon in ballon = n_2=n_1+n=9.79 mol+3.50 mol=13.29 mol

Final volume of freon gas in ballon = V_2=21.8 L

Using Avogadro's law:

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2} ( at constant pressure and temperature)

V_1=\frac{V_2\times n_1}{n_2}=\frac{21.8 L\times 9.79 mol}{13.29 mol}=16.06L

16.06 L was the initial volume of the balloon.

When a student chemist transferred the metal to the calorimeter, some water splashed out of the calorimeter. will this technique
Natalka [10]

Answer:

It will be reported too low.

Explanation:

To measure the specific heat of the metal (s), the calorimeter may be used. In it, the metal will exchange heat with the water, and they will reach thermal equilibrium. Because it can be considered an isolated system (there're aren't dissipations) the total amount of heat (lost by metal + gained by water) must be 0.

Qmetal + Qwater = 0

Qmetal = -Qwater

The heat is the mass multiplied by the specific heat multiplied by the temperature change. If c is the specific heat of the water:

m_metal*s*ΔT_metal = - m_water *c*ΔT_water

s = -m_water *c*ΔT_water / m_metal*ΔT_metal

So, if m_water is now less than it was supposed to be, s will be reported too low, because they are directly proportional.
