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.

Taking into account the definition of dilution:

you have to use 8.23 mL of a stock solution of 7.00 M HNO₃ to prepare 0.120 L of 0.480 M HNO₃.
If you dilute 20.0 mL of the stock solution to a final volume of 0.270 L , the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.518 M.

<h3>Dilution</h3>

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of solute in solution, which is accomplished by simply adding more solvent to the solution at the same amount of solute.

In a dilution the amount of solute does not change, but as more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume (and weight) of the solution increases.

A dilution is mathematically expressed as:

Ci×Vi = Cf×Vf

where

Ci: initial concentration
Vi: initial volume
Cf: final concentration
Vf: final volume

<h3>Volume of stock solution</h3>

In this case, you know:

Ci= 7 M
Vi= ?
Cf= 0.480 M
Vf= 0.120 L

Replacing in the definition of dilution:

7 M× Vi= 0.480 M× 0.120 L

Solving:

Vi= (0.480 M× 0.120 L)÷ 7 M

<u><em>Vi= 0.00823 L= 8.23 mL</em></u> (being 1 L= 1000 mL)

Finally, you will need 8.23 mL of the stock solution.

<h3>Concentration of the diluted solution</h3>

In this case, you know:

Ci= 7 M assuming the stock solution is 7.00 M HNO₃
Vi= 20 mL= 0.02 L
Cf= ?
Vf= 0.270 L

Replacing in the definition of dilution:

7 M× 0.02 L= Cf× 0.270 L

Solving:

(7 M× 0.02 L)÷ 0.270 L= Cf

Finally, the concentration is 0.518 M.

The formation of SO3 from SO2 and O2 is an intermediate step in the manufacture of sulfuric acid, and it is also responsible for

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

118.22 atm

Explanation:

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2SO₃(g)

KP = 0.13 = $\frac{p(SO_{3})^{2}}{p(SO_{2})^{2}p(O_{2})}$

Where p(SO₃) is the partial pressure of SO₃, p(SO₂) is the partial pressure of SO₂ and p(O₂) is the partial pressure of O₂.

With 2.00 mol SO₂ and 2.00 mol O₂ if there was a 100% yield of SO₃, then 2 moles of SO₃ would be produced and 1.00 mol of O₂ would remain.
With a 71.0% yield, there are only 2*0.71 = 1.42 mol SO₃, the moles of SO₂ that didn't react would be 2 - 1.42 = 0.58; and the moles of O₂ that didn't react would be 2 - 1.42/2 = 1.29.

The total number of moles is 1.42 + 0.58 + 1.29 = 3.29. With that value we can calculate the molar fraction (X) of each component:

XSO₂ = 0.58/3.29 = 0.176

XO₂ = 1.29/3.29 = 0.392

XSO₃ = 1.42/3.29 = 0.432

The partial pressure of each gas is equal to the total pressure (PT) multiplied by the molar fraction of each component.

p(SO₂) = 0.176 * PT

p(O₂) = 0.392 * PT

p(SO₃) = 0.432 * PT

Rewriting KP and solving for PT:

$\frac{p(SO_{3})^{2}}{p(SO_{2})^{2}p(O_{2})}=0.13\\\frac{(0.432*P_{T})^{2}}{(0.176*P_{T})^{2}(0.392*P_{T})} =0.13\\\frac{0.1866*P_{T}^{2}}{0.0121*P_{T}^{3}} =0.13\\\frac{15.369}{P_{T}}=0.13\\P_{T}=118.22 atm$

4.Identify each substance in the following word equation as a reactant or a product

Anastaziya [24]

Explanation:

4. limestone heat lime + carbon dioxide

The reactants in this expression above is limestone

The products of the reaction is carbon dioxide and lime

Reactant is the species that gives the product and it is usually found on the left hand side of the expression.

The product is the substance on the right hand side of the expression that forms through the experiment.

Heat is used to facilitate the reaction.

5. An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given off.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed in the process.

An exothermic reaction is always warmer after the reaction whereas an endothermic reaction is colder at the end of the reaction.

You conduct an experiment in which you measure the temperature (T) and volume (V) of a mysterious sphere of gas at several diffe

____ [38]

Volume of the gas is 525 L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is given that the volume of the gas divided by the temperature is 1.75.

V/T = 1.75

As per the Charles law, volume is proportional to the temperature.

V ∝ T

V/T = constant

Now we have to find V, and T is given as 300 K.

So plugin the values as,

V/300 = 1.75

Rearranging the equation to get V as,

V = 1.75×300

= 525 L
