Noble gas compounds like KrF, XeCl, and XeBr are used in excimer lasers. Draw an approximate molecular orbital diagram appropria

te for these molecules (they will be quite similar). Give the ground-state electron configuration of KrF and predict whether the cationic analog (KrF) is likely to have a stronger bond.

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

The MO diagrams of KrBr, XeCl, and XeBr are shown below.

They are similar, except for the numbering of the valence shell orbitals.

Also, I have drawn the s and p orbitals at the same energy levels for both atoms in the compounds. That is obviously not the case.

However, the MO diagrams are approximately correct.

The ground state electron configuration of KrF is

(1\sigma_{g})^{2}\, (1\sigma_{u}^{*})^{2} \, (2\sigma_{g})^{2} \, (2\sigma_{u}^{*})^{2} \, (3\sigma_{g})^{2} \,  (1\pi_{u})^{4} \, (1\pi_{g}^{*})^{4} \, (3\sigma_{g}^{*})^{1}

KrF⁺ will have one less electron than KrF.

You remove the antibonding electron from the highest energy orbital, so the bond order increases.

The KrF bond will be stronger.

2 The substance has a mass of 0.50 kg.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

68000J/kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

 Mass of the substance  = 0.5kg

 Quantity of heat transferred to the body  = 34000J

 

Unknown:

Specific latent heat of fusion = ?

Solution:

The specific latent heat is usually involve in phase changes;

  H  = mL

H is the quantity of heat supplied

m is the mass

L is the specific latent heat

 Insert the parameters and solve;

     34000 = 0.5 x L

         L  = \frac{34000}{0.5}   = 68000J/kg

A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt MSO, Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3.0
dimaraw [331]

Explanation:

It is known that for high concentration of M^{2+}, reduction will take place. As, cathode has a positive charge and it will be placed on left hand side.

Now, E^{o}_{cell} = 0 and the general reaction equation is as follows.

         M^{2+} + M \rightarrow M + M^{2+}

                3.00 M        n = 2       30 mM

         E = 0 - \frac{0.0591}{2} log \frac{50 \times 10^{-3}}{1}

            = -\frac{0.0591}{2} log (5 \times 10^{-2})

            = 0.038 V

Therefore, we can conclude that voltage shown by the voltmeter is 0.038 V.

If the mole fraction of nitric acid (HNO3) in an aqueous solution is 0.275, what is the percent by mass of HNO3?
jeka94
Molar mass of    N    = 14 g/molMolar mass of   O2    = 32 g/molAdding both masses = 46 g/molActual molar mass/ Empirical molar mass = 138.02 / 46 = 3Now multiplying this co effecient with empirical fomula NO2 = 3(NO2)                                                                                             = N3O6So according to above explanation,D) N3O6, is the correct answer.
