Answer:

Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:

Li < Be < B < N < F

Explanation:

This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.

1) Effective nuclear charge definitions

While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.

Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.

2) Z eff for a F valence electron:

F's atomic number: Z = 9
Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7

3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:

Li's atomic number: Z = 3
Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.

4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:

Be's atomic number: Z = 4
Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2

5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:

B's atomic number: Z = 5
Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3

6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:

N's atomic number: Z = 7
Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5

7) Summary (order):

Be 2

Conclusion: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F

What is ΔG′° for the reaction ( K ′ eq measured at 25 °C)? (b) If the concentration of fructose 6-phosphate is adjusted to 1.5 M

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a. $-1.68 \frac{kJ}{mol}$

b. $-4.40 \frac{kJ}{mol}$

c. Standard conditions provide 1 M molarity for each component, while non-standard conditions provide specific concentrations

Explanation:

a. The original problem states that:

$K' = 1.97$

For an equilibrium:

$fructose-6-phosphate\rightleftharpoons glucose-6-phosphate$

This means:

$K' = \frac{glucose-6-phosphate}{fructose-6-phosphate}$

Solving for the standard Gibbs free energy change:

$\Delta G^o = -RT ln(K') = -8.314 \frac{J}{K mol}\cdot 298.15 K\cdot ln(1.97) = -1681 \frac{J}{mol} = -1.68 \frac{kJ}{mol}$

b. Now we will solve for the non-standard Gibbs free energy change given by the equation:

$\Delta G = \Delta G^o + RT ln(Q)$

Here:

$Q = \frac{glucose-6-phosphate}{fructose-6-phosphate}$

We obtain:

$\Delta G = -1681 \frac{J}{mol} + 8.314 \frac{J}{K mol}\cdot 298.15 K\cdot ln(\frac{0.50}{1.5}) = -4404 \frac{J}{mol} = -4.40 \frac{kJ}{mol}$

c. The standard Gibbs free energy change is measured for 1 M concentration of each molarity, however, the non-standard Gibbs free energy change is measured for the given molarities of 1.5 M and 0.50 M. Due to different conditions, we obtain different values.

Which equation shows a conservation of mass?

pychu [463]

(4) PCl5--> PCl3+ Cl2 is the correct answer because we both have 1 P atom and 5 Cl atoms on both sides, and thus the masses of the elements don't change.
Hope this would help~
