Which quantum number distinguishes the different shapes of the orbitals?

1 answer:

7 0

The four quantum numbers are:
principle quantum number: this number describes the energy of orbitals. It describes the most probable distance between the electron and the nucleus.
angular quantum number: this number describes the shape of orbitals, and thus, describes the angular distribution.
magnetic quantum number: this number describes the number of orbitals and how they are oriented within the subshell
spin quantum number: this number determines the direction of the spin of the electron.

Based on the above, the quantum number that distinguishes the different shapes of the orbitals is the angular quantum number

The pressure inside a compressed gas cylinder is 144 atm at 48°C. What will the pressure inside the cylinder be after it is cool

Andrews [41]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

134 atm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Based on the pressure law, the pressure of a gas varies directly proportionally to the absolute temperature at a constant volume.

Therefore; we are going to use the equation;

$\frac{P1}{T1}=\frac{P2}{T2}$

In this case;

Initial pressure, P1 = 144 atm

Initial temperature, T1 (48°C) = 321 K

Final temperature, T2 (25°C) = 298 K

We need to find the final pressure,

Therefore;

P2 = (P1/T1)T2

= (144/321)× 298 K

= 133.68 atm

= 134 atm

Therefore, the new pressure will be 134 atm.

Fumaric acid, which occurs in many plants, contains, by mass, 41.4% carbon, 3.47% hydrogen, and 55.1% oxygen. The molecular mass

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

C = 41.4/12 = 3.43

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

O = 55.1/16 =3.44

CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.

(CHO)_x = 116

C + H + O = 29

(29) _ x = 116

x = 116/29

x = 4

So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.

The correct formula is C4H4O4

The molarity of concentrated acetic acid is 17.45 M. When acetic acid is diluted in water it is commonly called vinegar with a m

Sladkaya [172]

M1 = 17.45 M

M2 = 0.83 M

V2 = 250 ml

M1. V1= M2. V2

V1 = (M2. V2)/M1 = (0.83× 250)/ 17.45= 11.89 ml
