Answer:

The other electron must have anticlockwise spin.

Explanation:

According to the pauli exclusion principle, the two elecrton present in same orbital must have opposite spin.

If the one electron is clockwise the other must be in anti clockwise direction. The clockwise direction is represented by the sign +1/2 while anti clockwise direction is represented by -1/2.

According the pauli principle, the two electrons must have different fourth electronic quantum number. The electron in same orbital have same first three quantum number i.e, n=1 l=0 and ml =0 in case of first subshell.

Forces between similar molecules are said to be

podryga [215]

Answer:

Forces between similar molecules are said to be cohesive while those between different types of molecules are said to be adhesive.

Water 'beads' due to its strong cohesive forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is concave because the adhesive forces are strong.

Explanation:

The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.

a closed flask of air (0.250 L) contains 5.00 "puffs" of particles. The pressure probe on the flask reads 93 kPa. A student uses

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: New pressure inside the flask would be 148.8 kPa.

Explanation: The combined gas law equation is given by:

$PV=nRT$

As the flask is a closed flask, so the volume remains constant. Temperature is constant also.

So, the relation between pressure and number of moles becomes

$P=n\\or\\\frac{P}{n}=constant$

$\frac{P_1}{n_1}=\frac{P_2}{n_2}$

Initial conditions:

$P_1=93kPa\\n_1=5\text{ puffs}$

Final conditions: When additional 3 puffs of air is added

$P_2=?kPa\\n_2=8\text{ puffs}$

Putting the values, in above equation, we get

$\frac{93}{5}=\frac{P_2}{8}\\P_2=148.8kPa$

How many moles of CH4 are in 148.6 g? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

9.29 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = ?

Mass = 148.6 g

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CH₄ = 16 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

Number of moles = 148.6 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 9.29 mol

Thus 148.6 g have 9.29 moles.

Julli [10]

Answer:Hereditary information is contained in genes, located in the chromosomes of each cell. Each gene carries a single unit of information. An inherited trait of an individual can be determined by one or many genes, and a single gene can influence more than one trait.
