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.

_NaHCO(s) --&gt; _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O<br><br>balance the equation​
elena55 [62]

The balanced equation :

2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O

Required

The balanced equation

Solution

Maybe the equation should be like this :

NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O

Give a coefficient

NaHCO₃⇒aCO₂ + bNa₂CO₃+cH₂O

Make an equation

Na, left=1, right=2b⇒2b=1⇒b=1/2

H, left=1, right=2c⇒2c=1⇒c=1/2

C, left=1, right=a+b⇒a+b=1⇒a+1/2=1⇒a=1/2

The equation becomes :

NaHCO₃⇒1/2CO₂ +1/2Na₂CO₃+1/2H₂O x2

2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O

If a sample of gas is located 10.2 cm from the injection point and the chart speed is 0.5 cm/min, what is the retention time?
Archy [21]

Answer : The retention time is, 20 min

Explanation :

Retention time : It is defined as the amount of time a compound spends on the column after it has been injected.

Formula of retention time is:

\text{Retention time}=\frac{\text{Distance from injection point to center of peaks}}{\text{Chart recorded speed}}

Given:

Distance from injection point to center of peaks = 10 cm

Chart recorded speed = 0.5 cm/min

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\text{Retention time}=\frac{10cm}{0.5cm/min}

Retention time = 20 min

Thus, the retention time is, 20 min
