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?

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!

NaCl + H2SO4 ---&gt; Na2SO4 + HCl<br> Balance the double replacement chemical reaction.
VikaD [51]

Answer:

2NaCl+H2SO4-->Na2SO4+2HCl

Explanation:

There are two Na on the right, so put a 2 in front of NaCl on the left. This makes 3 Cl also, so put a 2 in front of HCl on the right. There are already 2 H on the left, so the equation is balanced.

Most full scuba tanks have a pressure of between 1,800 p.s.i. and 3,000 p.s.i. (pounds per square inch). Approximately 70 to 85
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.

The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.

Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.

                        V\propto T    (at constant Pressure)

The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.

When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.

Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products.
UNO [17]

Explanation:

Dehydrohalogenation reactions occurs as elimination reactions through the following mechanism:

Step 1: A strong base(usually KOH) removes a slightly acidic hydrogen proton from the alkyl halide.

Step 2: The electrons from the broken hydrogen‐carbon bond are attracted toward the slightly positive carbon (carbocation) atom attached to the chlorine atom. As these electrons approach the second carbon, the halogen atom breaks free.

However, elimination will be slower in the exit of Hydrogen atom at the C2 and C3 because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group.

Elimination of the hydrogen from the methyl group is easier.

Thus, the major product will A
