If there were only three electron groups around an atom, how would they be arranged?

1 answer:

8 0

There would be two electrons in the 1s orbital one oriented up and one oriented down. The other electron would be in the 1p orbital up or down. Remember that 1s can only hold 2 electrons at a time, and when it is filled there one electron is spinning up and the other is spinning down. After 1s, comes the 1p orbital which can hold 6 electrons. Until 3 electrons are spinning either up or down, the next one will have the next orientation.

Step 1: Define

3.60 × 10⁻⁵ g Au (Gold)

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Au - 196.97 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

Set up: $\displaystyle 3.60 \cdot 10^{-5} \ g \ Au(\frac{1 \ mol \ Au}{196.97 \ g \ Au})$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 1.82769 \cdot 10^{-7} \ mol \ Au$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

1.82769 × 10⁻⁷ mol Au ≈ 1.83 × 10⁻⁷ mol Au

Consider the reaction

SOVA2 [1]

Answer :

(a) The average rate will be:

$\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=9.36\times 10^{-5}M/s$

(b) The average rate will be:

$\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=1.87\times 10^{-4}M/s$

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

$5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)\rightarrow 3Br_2(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

The expression for rate of reaction :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }Br^-=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }BrO_3^-=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of }H^+=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of }Br_2=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of }H_2O=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}$

Thus, the rate of reaction will be:

$\text{Rate of reaction}=-\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}=-\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}$
