Answer:

An area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside

Explanation:

A molecular orbital is an area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside.

Molecular orbitals are formed by linear combination of atomic orbitals of about the same energy. The number of atomic orbitals that are combined to give molecular orbitals is the same as the number of molecular orbitals formed. The build up of electrons in molecular orbitals also follow the Aufbau principle, Hund's rule and Pauli exclusion principle.

When the ph of an aqueous solution is changed from 1 to 2, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

decreased by a factor of 10

Explanation:

pH is defined in such a way that;

pH= −log10(H)

Where H represents the concentration of Hydronium or Hydrogen ions

Given that pH is changed from 1 to 2,

By rearranging the above formula , we get 10−pH = H

  • if pH=1,H=10−1=0.1M
  • if pH=2,H=10−2=0.01M

Therefore,  0.1/0.01 = 10 and 0.1 > 0.01

Hence, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is decreased by a factor of 10

Is the law of conservative mass observed in this equation CaCO3 + 2HCI -->CaCI2 +H2O + CO2
pychu [463]

Answer:

The law is observed in the given equation.

Explanation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCI → CaCI₂ +H₂O + CO₂

In order to find out if the law of conservative mass is followed, we need to <u>count how many atoms of each element are there in both sides of the equation</u>:

  • Ca ⇒ 1 on the left, 1 on the right.
  • C ⇒ 1 on the left, 1 on the right.
  • O ⇒ 3 on the left, 3 on the right.
  • H ⇒ 2 on the left, 2 on the right.
  • Cl ⇒ 2 on the left, 2 on the right.

As the numbers for all elements involved are the same, the law is observed in the given equation.
