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.

What is the age of mummified primate skin that contains 8.25% of the original quantity of 14C?

rjkz [21]

Answer:

20619.4793 years

Explanation:

The half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

The formula for the half life for a first order kinetic reaction is:

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where,

$t_{1/2}$ is the half life

k is the rate constant.

Thus rate constant is:

5730 years=ln(2)/k

k = 1.21×10⁻⁴ years ⁻¹

Using integrated rate law as:

$ln\ \frac {A_t}{A_0}=-k\times t$

Where,

$A_t$ is the concentration at time t

$A_0$ is the initial concentration

Given that the final concentration contains 8.25 % of the original quantity which means that:

$\frac {A_t}{A_0}=0.0825$

So,

ln(.0825)= -1.21×10⁻⁴×t

t = 20619.4793 years

How many molecules of Mg3N2 (magnesium nitride) are formed when excess Mg (magnesium)

dybincka [34]

Explanation:

3Mg(s) + N2(g) = Mg3N2(s)

First check that the equation is balanced. In this case, it is.

Assuming that magnesium is the limiting reactant:

First find the molecular weight using the Periodic Table.

We find that the atomic mass of magnesium is approximately

24.3g, so the molecular weight is just 24.3g\mol

2. Next we need the mole to mole ratio. As there are 3

magnesiums for 1 magnesium nitride (shown by the coefficients), the

mole to mole ratio is 1 mol Mg3N2\3 mol Mg.

3. We need the amount of the substance, in grams. Since you have not

stated it in the question, I'll just do 10g AS AN EXAMPLE. Note that

depending on the amount, the LIMITING REAGENT MAY DIFFER.

4. Finally, we need the molecular weight of Mg3N2, which we can easily

calculate to be around 100.9\mol.

5. Putting this all together, we have 10gMg⋅ (mol Mg\24.3gMg)

(1mol Mg3N2\ 3mol Mg) (100.9g Mg3N2\mol Mg3N2)

the units will cancel to leave gMg3N2 (grams of magnesium nitride):

10gMg ⋅ (mol Mg\24.3gMg) (1mol Mg3N2\3mol Mg)

(100.9g Mg3N2\mol Mg3N2)

Doing the calculation yields approximately 13.84g.

Assuming that nitrogen is the limiting reactant:

Similarly, following the above steps but with 10g of nitrogen yields 36.04g

In conclusion, as we produce less amount of Mg3N2 when we assumed that Mg was the limiting reagent, magnesium is the limiting reagent and nitrogen is the excess.

Note: This is in THIS CASE, where we have 10g of both. The answer may vary depending on the amount of each substance.

The rate constant for a particular zero-order reaction is 0.075 M s-1. If the initial concentration of reactant is 0.537 M it ta

Anarel [89]

Answer:

It takes 5.83s to decrease the concentration of the reactant from 0.537M to 0.100M

Explanation:

A zero-order reaction follows the equation:

[A] = [A]₀ - kt

Where [A] is actual reaction of the reactant = 0.100M

[A]₀ the initial concentration = 0.537M

k is rate constant = 0.075Ms⁻¹

And t is time it takes:

0.100M = 0.537M -0.075Ms⁻¹t

-0.437M = -0.075Ms⁻¹t

5.83s = t

It takes 5.83s to decrease the concentration of the reactant from 0.537M to 0.100M
