Answer:
D) CN⁻
Explanation:
Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.
An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.
On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.
According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.
Answer:
the molarity is 3.68 moles/L
Explanation:
the molality of the solution of sucrose is
m= moles of glucose / Kg of solvent (water)= 6.81 ,
since the molecular weight of glucose is 180.156 gr/mole , then per each kilogram of solvent there is
6.81 moles*180.156 gr/mole + 1000 gr of water = 2226.86 gr of solution
from the density
volume of solution = mass of solution/density = 2286.86 gr / 1.2 gr/ml = 1855.71 ml
therefore there is 1000 gr of water in 1855.71 ml
then the molarity M is
M= moles of glucose / L of solution = (moles of glucose / Kg of solvent) * (Kg of solvent/L of solution) = 6.81 moles/Kg * 1Kg/1.85 L = 3.68 moles/L
M= 3.68 moles/L
Note:
- Would be wrong in this case to assume density of water = 1 Kg/L since the solution is heavily concentrated in glucose and therefore the density of water deviates from its pure value.
Answer:
D. Ni²⁺
Explanation:
We know at once that the answer cannot be A or C, because Ni and Cu are already in their lowest oxidation states.
The correct answer must be either B or D.
An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a galvanic cell. In the former, the reaction proceeds spontaneously. In the latter, you must force the reaction to occur.
One strategy to solve this problem is:
- Look up the standard reduction potentials for the half reaction·
- Figure out the spontaneous direction.
- Write the equation in the reverse direction.
1. Standard reduction potentials
E°/V
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; 0.3419
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257
2. Galvanic Cell
We reverse the direction of the more negative half cell and add.
<u>E°/V
</u>
Ni ⟶ Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻; 0.257
<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; </u> 0.3419
Ni + Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu + Ni²⁺; 0.599
This is the spontaneous direction.
Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu.
3. Electrochemical cell
<u>E°/V</u>
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257
<u>Cu ⟶ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻; </u> <u>-0.3419</u>
Cu + Ni²⁺ ⟶ Ni + Cu²⁺; -0.599
This is the non-spontaneous direction.
Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni in the electrolytic cell.
