The options for the given question are given below.

a) the location where there is zero probability of finding the electron

b) that the electron’s location can be precisely determined

c) that Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle is violated

d) the distance from the nucleus at which the electron is most likely to be found

Answer : The correct option is d "the distance from the nucleus at which the electron is most likely to be found"

Explanation :

The probability distribution curve is the plot of density function ( represented by y axis) vs the distance of electron from the nucleus ( represented by x axis).

The peak of the curve shows the maximum density of finding an electron. The corresponding value on x axis therefore represents the distance at which this maximum density can be located.

Therefore we can say that the peak of a probability curve for an electron in an atom indicate the distance from the nucleus at which the electron is most likely to be found.

During an exothermic reaction, ΔH for the reactants was 890 kJ/mol. Which of the following statements is correct about the ΔH fo
kaheart [24]

Answer:-A. It is less than 890 kJ/mol because the amount of energy required to break bonds is less than the amount of energy released in forming bonds.

Explanation: Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

In the formation of new bonds more energy is released than is required to break the existing bonds, heat is released.

In the formation of bonds less energy is released than is required to break the existing bonds, heat is absorbed.

What minimum volume of 0.200 m potassium iodide solution is required to completely precipitate all of the lead in 195.0 ml of a
lbvjy [14]
First, we write the reaction equation:

2KI + PbNO₃  → K₂NO₃ + PbI₂
The molar ratio of KI to PbNO₃ is 2 : 1
Moles of PbNO₃ present:
Moles = concentration (M) x volume (dm³)
= 0.194 x 0.195
= 0.038
Moles of KI required = 2 x 0.038 = 0.076 moles
concentration = moles / volume
volume = moles / concentration
= 0.076 / 0.2
= 0.38 L = 380 ml

Why is NH3 soluble in H20 but NCl3 is not?
storchak [24]
NH3 is soluble in water because it has the same amount of intermolecular forces as water. NH3 is a polar molecule and water  is a polar molecule so they dissolve each other. NCl3 does not dissolve in water because it is a nonpolar molecule which is different with water. NCl3 is nonpolar due to the difference in electronegativities between 3 atoms of Cl and 1 atom if N2.
