Answer :

(a) The minimum uncertainty in an electron's velocity is, 4.5\times 10^{4}m/s

(b) The minimum uncertainty in a helium atom's velocity is, 7.9\times 10^{1}m/s

Explanation :

According to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,

\Delta x\times \Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi} ...........(1)

where,

\Delta x = uncertainty in position

\Delta p = uncertainty in momentum

h = Planck's constant

And as we know that the momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object.

p=m\times v

or,

\Delta p=m\times \Delta v      .......(2)

Equating 1 and 2, we get:

\Delta x\times m\times \Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi \Delta x\times m}

(a) Given:

m = mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}kg

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\Delta x = 13\AA=13\times 10^{-10}m

conversion used : (1\AA=10^{-10}m)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\Delta v=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{4\times 3.14\times (13\times 10^{-10}m)\times (9.1\times 10^{-31}kg)}

\Delta v=4.5\times 10^{4}m/s

The minimum uncertainty in an electron's velocity is, 4.5\times 10^{4}m/s

(b) Given:

m = mass of helium atom = 6.646\times 10^{-27}kg

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\Delta x = 1.0\AA=1.0\times 10^{-10}m

conversion used : (1\AA=10^{-10}m)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\Delta v=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{4\times 3.14\times (1.0\times 10^{-10}m)\times (6.646\times 10^{-27}kg)}

\Delta v=7.9\times 10^{1}m/s

The minimum uncertainty in a helium atom's velocity is, 7.9\times 10^{1}m/s

Answer:

2p

Explanation:

it has 3 dumbell shapes, hence p

you can't determine the principal quantum number by looking at the shape, however bigger or spread orbital means higher value of n

Solid NaBr is slowly added to a solution that is 0.073 M in Cu+ and 0.073 M in Ag+.Which compound will begin to precipitate firs
saul85 [17]

Answer :

AgBr should precipitate first.

The concentration of Ag^+ when CuBr just begins to precipitate is, 1.34\times 10^{-6}M

Percent of Ag^+ remains is, 0.0018 %

Explanation :

K_{sp} for CuBr is 4.2\times 10^{-8}

K_{sp} for AgBr is 7.7\times 10^{-13}

As we know that these two salts would both dissociate in the same way. So, we can say that as the Ksp value of AgBr has a smaller than CuBr then AgBr should precipitate first.

Now we have to calculate the concentration of bromide ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

CuBr\rightleftharpoons Cu^++Br^-

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Cu^+][Br^-]

4.2\times 10^{-8}=0.073\times [Br^-]

[Br^-]=5.75\times 10^{-7}M

Now we have to calculate the concentration of silver ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

AgBr\rightleftharpoons Ag^++Br^-

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Ag^+][Br^-]

7.7\times 10^{-13}=[Ag^+]\times 5.75\times 10^{-7}M

[Ag^+]=1.34\times 10^{-6}M

Now we have to calculate the percent of Ag^+ remains in solution at this point.

Percent of Ag^+ remains = \frac{1.34\times 10^{-6}}{0.073}\times 100

Percent of Ag^+ remains = 0.0018 %
