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.

Write a double replacement precipitation reaction A precipitate forms when aqueous solutions of nickel(II) chloride and silver(I

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

$AB+CD\rightarrow CB+AD$

Precipitation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an insoluble salt is formed when two solutions are mixed containing soluble substances. The insoluble salt settles down at the bottom of the reaction mixture.

When nickel (II) chloride reacts with silver (I) nitrate, it leads to the formation of white precipitate of silver chloride and an aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate.

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

$NiCl_2(aq.)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2AgCl(s)+Ni(NO_3)_2(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aqueous solution of nickel (II) chloride reacts with 2 moles of aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate to produce 2 moles of solid silver chloride and 1 moles of aqueous solution of nickel (II) nitrate

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

State whether the following statements are true or false. If false, explain why. (a) A reaction stops when equilibrium is reache

Elden [556K]

Answer:

(a) False;

(b) False;

(c) False;

(d) True.

Explanation:

(a) When equilibrium is reached, the forward reaction rate becomes equal to the reverse reaction rate, that's why the molarity of each species remains constant, but reactions don't stop.

(b) According to the principle of Le Chatelier, an increase in molarity of either reactants or products would lead to a disturbance of equilibrium. This disturbance would lead to the shift of equilibrium towards the side which would minimize such a disturbance.

(c) Equilibrium constant is only temperature-dependent, it's independent of molarity, pressure, volume etc. of any species present in the reaction.

(d) The greater the initial molarity of reactants, the more products can be formed, e. g., since the ratio of products to reactants should be kept constant, the larger the amount of reactants, the greater the amount of products formed to keep a constant ratio.

When the substance dissolves the solution is not transparent true or false

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Some substances dissolve when you mix them with water. When a substance dissolves, it might look like it has disappeared, but in fact it has just mixed with the water to make a transparent (see-through) liquid called a solution.
