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.

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).
Pani-rosa [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Atmospheric Gas         Mole Fraction      kH mol/(L*atm)

           N_2                         7.81\times 10^{-1}         6.70\times 10^{-4}

           O_2                         2.10\times 10^{-1}        1.30\times 10^{-3}

           Ar                          9.34\times 10^{-3}        1.40\times 10^{-3}

          CO_2                        3.33\times 10^{-4}        3.50\times 10^{-2}

          CH_4                       2.00\times 10^{-6}         1.40\times 10^{-3}

          H_2                          5.00\times 10^{-7}         7.80\times 10^{-4}

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is 1.48\times 10^{-10}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=p_T\times \chi_{\text{hydrogen gas}}

where,

p_A = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = ?

p_T = total pressure = 0.380 atm

\chi_A = mole fraction of hydrogen gas = 5.00\times 10^{-7}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=0.380\times 5.00\times 10^{-7}\\\\p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=1.9\times 10^{-7}atm

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{H_2}=K_H\times p_{H_2}

where,

K_H = Henry's constant = 7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm

p_{H_2} = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = 1.9\times 10^{-7}atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

C_{H_2}=7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 1.9\times 10^{-7}atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=1.48\times 10^{-10}M

Hence, the solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is 1.48\times 10^{-10}M

Starch and cellulose are both produced by plants, yet one is easily digested by animals and the other is not. Discuss the differ
Nadusha1986 [10]
<span>Starch and cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no enzyme that can break it down. </span>
