What three things happen in order for a chemical reaction to occur?

MissTica

Three things that should happen for a chemical reaction to occure :
1. Position of electrons must change
2. Chemical bonds must be formed and broken between atoms and
3. No changes should happen to the nuclei

the spectral lines observed for hydrogen arise from transitions from excited states back to the n=2 principle quantum level. Cal

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Rydberg formula is given by:

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = R_{H}\times (\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} )$

where, $R_{H}$ = Rydberg constant = $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} per metre$

$\lambda$ = wavelength

$n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ are the level of transitions.

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 6

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{6^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{36} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.0278 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times 0.23$

= $0.2523958\times 10^{7}$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{0.2523958\times 10^{7}}$

= $3.9620\times 10^{-7} m$

= $396.20\times 10^{-9} m$

= $396.20 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 5

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{5^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.04 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.21 )$

= $0.230 \times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.230 \times 10^{7}}$

= $4.3478 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $434.78\times 10^{-9} m$

= $434.78 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 4

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.0625 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.1875 )$

= $0.20575 \times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.20575 \times 10^{7}}$

= $4.8602 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $486.02 \times 10^{-9} m$

= $486.02 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 3

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.12 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.13 )$

= $0.1426585\times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.1426585\times 10^{7}}$

= $7.0097 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $700.97 \times 10^{-9} m$

= $700.97 nm$

The following data were measured for the reaction BF3(g)+NH3(g)→F3BNH3(g): Experiment [BF3](M) [NH3](M) Initial Rate (M/s) 1 0.2

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$-r_{A}=k\times[BF_3]^{1}\times[NH_3]^{1}$

Explanation:

The rate law of a chemical reaction is given by

$-r_{A}=k\times[BF_3]^{\alpha}\times[NH_3]^{\beta}$

This law can be written for any experiment, and making the quotient between those expressions the reaction orders can be found

Between experiments 1 and 2

$\frac{-r_{A1}}{{-r}_{A2}}=\left(\frac{\left[NH_3\right]_1}{\left[NH_3\right]_2}\right)^\beta$

Then the expression for the calculation of $\beta$

$\beta=\frac{ln\frac{-r_{A1}}{-r_{A2}}}{ln\left(\frac{\left[NH_3\right]_1}{\left[NH_3\right]_2}\right)}=\frac{ln\frac{0.2130}{0.1065}}{ln\left(\frac{0.250}{0.125}\right)}$

Resolving

$\beta=1$

Doing the same between experiments 3 and 4 the expression for $\alpha$ is

$\alpha=\frac{ln\frac{-r_{A3}}{-r_{A4}}}{ln\left(\frac{\left[BF_3\right]_3}{\left[BF_3\right]_4}\right)}=\frac{ln\frac{0.0682}{0.1193}}{ln\left(\frac{0.200}{0.350}\right)}$

Resolving

$\alpha=1$

This means that the rate law for this reaction is

$-r_{A}=k\times[BF_3]^{1}\times[NH_3]^{1}$

Highest ionization energy: Li, Be, B

Ad libitum [116K]

Hello!

On the periodic table, as we go down the periodic table, the ionization energy decreases, but as we go across the periodic table (left to right), the ionization increases.

On the periodic table, lithium (Li) is located in column one, beryllium (Be) is located in column two, and (B) boron is located in column 13. As stated above, when we go across the periodic table (left to right), the ionization increases.

Therefore, the element with the highest ionization energy is Boron, or symbol B on the period table.
