Explain the connection between energy quanta and energy levels.

1 answer:

7 0

A quantum (plural, quanta) is the minimum amount of energy that can be absorbed or released by matter. It is a discrete, or distinct, amount of energy. ... Thus, they can occupy only fixed energy levels around the nucleus that correspond to quantum increases in energy.

Answer:

21.86582KJ

Explanation:

The graphical form of the Arrhenius equation is shown on the image attached. Remember that in the Arrhenius equation, we plot the rate constant against the inverse of temperature. The slope of this graph is the activation energy and its y intercept is the frequency factor.

Applying the equation if a straight line, y=mx +c, and comparing the given equation with the graphical form of the Arrhenius equation shown in the image attached, we obtain the activation energy of the reaction as shown.

QveST [7]

Metals consist of giant structure of atoms arranged in a regular pattern. The electrons in the outer shell of metal atoms are shared , and are free to move throughout the structure. Therefore the structure is formed by positive charged metal ions held together by a 'sea' of delocalised.

As we saw in section 4.3, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid are strong acids. write net ionic equations for the neutralization o

Kazeer [188]

First you write the "molecular" equation, then the ionic equation, and finally the net ionic equation.

Explanation:

You can read about these equations at

Here are the steps for your reaction.

1. Write the molecular equation

We write the equation as if all the reactants were molecules.

2HNO₃(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s) → 2H₂O(l) + Mg(NO₃)₂(aq

2. Write the ionic equation

We write all the soluble strong electrolytes as ions. H₂O is a weak electrolyte, so we write it as a molecule. Mg(OH)₂ is insoluble, so we write it as a molecule as well.

2H⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s) → 2H₂O(l) + Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

3. Write the net ionic equation

Here, we cancel all species that appear on both sides of the equation. We cancel the NO₃⁻ ions.

The net ionic equation is

2H⁺(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(s) → 2H₂O(l) + Mg²⁺(aq)
