Using molecular orbital theory, explain why the removal of one electron in O2 strengthens bonding, while the removal of one elec

First you have a knowledge of bond order which is
 B.O=(no. of electrons in bonding orbital - no. of electrons in non-bonding orbital)÷2  
Note:
bond strength is directly proportional to bond order.
For oxygen:
B.O=(6-2)/2= 2; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from non-bonding orbital)
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3 (As B.O increased bond strength increased)
For Nitrogen:
B.O=(6-0)/2= 3; after the removal of two electrons(removal occur from bonding orbital)
B.O=(4-0)/2= 2 (As B.O decreased bond strength decreased)

The barium isotope 133ba has a half-life of 10.5 years. a sample begins with 1.1×1010 133ba atoms. how many are left after (a) 5
Sladkaya [172]
<span>a) 7.9x10^9 b) 1.5x10^9 c) 3.9x10^4 To determine what percentage of an isotope remains after a given length of time, you can use the formula p = 2^(-x) where p = percentage remaining x = number of half lives expired. The number of half lives expired is simply x = t/h where x = number of half lives expired t = time spent h = length of half life. So the overall formula becomes p = 2^(-t/h) And since we're starting with 1.1x10^10 atoms, we can simply multiply that by the percentage. So, the answers rounding to 2 significant figures are: a) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-5/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.718873349 = 7.9x10^9 b) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-30/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.138011189 = 1.5x10^9 c) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-190/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 3.57101x10^-6 = 3.9x10^4</span>

Why is a Container important to the sustainability of your hydroponic system?
sergij07 [2.7K]
Hydroponics is more than just another way to grow plants–the technology has the potential to change how we engage with food cultivation as a whole! For the first time since humans started tilling the land, modern hydroponics technology frees us from the soil beneath our feet, allowing us to bring food production indoors where we can layer in additional climate and lighting controls. The result is an ability to grow food anytime, anywhere in the world.

An aqueous solution contains 0.100 m naoh at 25.0 °c. the ph of the solution is ________.
ikadub [295]
Recall; pH + pOH = 14
In this case [OH-] =0.100 m
therefore;
pOH = -LOG[OH-]
         = - Log (0.100)
         = 1.00
 Therefore; the pOH is 1.00
And since, pH +pOH = 14
Then pH = 14-pOH
                = 14 -1
                 = 13
Thus the pH is 13.00

What is the value of the equilibrium constant at 25 oC for the reaction between the pair: Br2(l) and I-(aq) Use the reduction po
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1.58×10E18

Explanation:

Since we have the reduction potentials we could make decisions regarding which one will be the anode or cathode. Evidently, bromine having the more positive reduction potential will be the cathode while the iodine will be the anode.

E°cell= 1.07- 0.53= 0.54 V

E°cell= 0.0592/n logK

0.54 = 0.0592/2 logK

logK= 0.54/0.0296

logK= 18.2

K= Antilog (18.2)

K= 1.58×10^18
