5 0
The anion<span> is also </span>larger than<span> the </span>atom<span> because of </span>electron-electron repulsion<span>. As more </span>electrons are<span> added to the </span>outer shell<span>, and even to </span>higher<span> principle energy levels, the </span>repulsion<span> bewteen the negatively charged particles grows, pushing the </span>shells<span> farther from the nucleus.</span>

Which of the following pairs consists of a weak acid and a strong base? (1 point)
notka56 [123]

Answer:

acetic acid, sodium hydroxide

Explanation:

A strong acid is an acid that ionizes in water to give all its hydrogen ion. Weak acid only ionize to a certain degree. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) only ionize to give one hydrogen ion despite having other hydrogen atom. This account for its weak nature as an acid as shown below:

CH3COOH <=> H^+ + CH3COO^-

A strong base is a base that ionizes in water to give all it hydroxide ion. Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) ionizes to give all its hydroxide ions. This make it a strong base as shown below;

NaOH <=> Na^+ + OH^-

What is the total probability of finding a particle in a one-dimensional box in level n = 4 between x = 0 and x = L/8?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

P = 1/8

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle in a one-dimensional box is given by:

\psi = \sqrt \frac{2}{L} sin(\frac{n \pi x}{L})

Hence, the probability of finding the particle in the  one-dimensional box is:

P = \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} \psi^{2} dx

P = \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} (\sqrt \frac{2}{L} sin(\frac{n \pi x}{L}))^{2} dx

P = \frac{2}{L} \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} (sin^{2}(\frac{n \pi x}{L}) dx

Evaluating the above integral from x₁ = 0 to x₂ = L/8 and solving it, we have:

P = \frac{2}{L} [\frac{L}{16} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{n \pi}{4})}{n \pi})]

P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{n \pi}{4})}{n \pi})    

Solving for n=4:

P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{4 \pi}{4})}{4 \pi})    

P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - \frac{sin (\pi)}{\pi})    

P = \frac{1}{8}

I hope it helps you!
