What physical meaning is attributed to ψ², the square of the wave function?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The probability density (ψ2)

Explanation:

Indicates the probability of finding the electron in a certain region of space when it is squared ψ2.

This means that define2 defines the distribution of electronic density around the nucleus in three-dimensional space; a high density represents a high probability of locating the electron and vice versa.

The atomic orbital, can be considered as the electron wave function of an atom.

APPLICATIONS:

1.- Specify the possible energy states that the electron of the hydrogen atom can occupy and identify the corresponding wave functions medio, by means of a set of quantum numbers, with which an understandable model of the hydrogen atom can be constructed.

2.- It does not work for atoms that have more than one electron, but the problem is solved using approximation methods for polyelectronic atoms.

How many moles of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas?
tino4ka555 [31]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 340.0 moles  of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CO₂ + 4 H₄  → CH₄ + 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • CO₂: 1 mole
  • H₄: 4 moles  
  • CH₄: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 2 moles

<h3>Moles of CH₄ formed</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of CO₂ form 4 moles of CH₄, 85.1 moles of CO₂ form how many moles of CH₄?

moles of CH_{4} =\frac{85.1 moles of CO_{2}x4 moles of CH_{4} }{1 moles of CO_{2}}

<u><em>moles of CH₄= 340.4 moles</em></u>

Then, 340.0 moles  of methane are produced when 85.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas react with excess hydrogen gas

A gaseous mixture contains 5.0 moles of nitrogen and 10.0 moles of helium . What is the total pressure if the temperature is 25
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A) 122 atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Solve for P --> P = nRT/V

n = 10.0 mol + 5.0 mol = 15.0 mol

R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

V = 3.0

P = (15.0)(0.08206)(298) / (3.0) = 122 atm
