Gnom [1K]3 years ago

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.

Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. what would be the mass of a sample whose volume is 10.0 cm3?
anastassius [24]
Hey there!

Density = 2.70 g/cm³

Volume = 10.0 cm³

Therefore:

Mass = density *  volume

Mass = 2.70 * 10.0

Mass = 27.0 g

A. Based on the activation energies and frequency factors, rank the following reactions from fastest to slowest reaction rate, a
deff fn [24]

Answer:

A) E_{a} = 350KJ/mol, E_{a} = 50KJ/mol, E_{a} = 50KJ/mol

     A = 1.5×10^{-7}s^{-1}, A = 1.9×10^{-7} s^{-1}, A=1.5×10^{-7} s^{-1}

B) 4.469

Explanation:

From Arrhenius equation

      K=Ae^{\frac{E_{a} }{RT} }

where; K = Rate of constant

            A = Pre exponetial factor

            E_{a} = Activation Energy

             R = Universal constant

             T = Temperature in Kelvin

Given parameters:

E_{a} =165KJ/mol

T_{1}=505K

T_{2}=525K

R=8.314JK^{-1}mol^{-1}

taking logarithm on both sides of the equation we have;

InK=InA-\frac{E_{a} }{RT}

since we have the rate of two different temperature the equation can be derived as:

In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )=\frac{E_{a} }{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1} } -\frac{1}{T_{2} } )

In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )=\frac{165000J/mol}{8.314JK^{-1}mol^{-1}  }.(\frac{1}{505} -\frac{1}{525} )

In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )= 19846.04×7.544×10^{-5} = 1.497

\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } =e^{1.497} = 4.469

If chemical bonds didn’t
hram777 [196]

All of the above answers are true right answer is option D

because, no bond no molecule no interaction no life,

no bond= only element will exist

Energy would not exist coz energy consumption and excretion takes place during bond formation and bond breaking process!
