Chemical reaction is any process that involves rearangent of the molecular or ionic structure of substances. each chemical reaction is characterised by an activation energy required for the reaction to occur ,for the change or rearrangement to take place
now fro combustion of fuel:we provide this energy by spark (heat pulse).now what about electrolysis?just the mode and manner of providing energy is different:instead of talking of activation energy,we talk of activation overpotential,both bring conceptually the same thing.heat energy is replaced by potential difference in rough terms.

so in short ,electrolysis is a chemical change ,just the mode of activation is different that thermally initiated chemical reactions

Positive Deviation from Raoult's Law occurs when the vapour pressure of component is greater than what is expected in Raoult's L
8090 [49]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

In positive deviation from Raoult's  Law occur when the vapour pressure of components is greater than what is expected value in Raoult's law.

When a solution is non ideal then it shows positive or negative deviation.

Let two solutions A and B to form non- ideal solutions.let the vapour pressure  of component A is P_A and vapour pressure of component B is P_B.

P^0_A= Vapour pressure of component A in pure form

P^0_B= Vapour pressure of component B in pure form

x_A=Mole fraction of component A

x_B==Mole fraction of component B

The interaction between A- B is less than the interaction A- A and B-B interaction.Therefore, the escaping tendency of liquid molecules in mixture is greater than the escaping tendency in pure form.Hence, the vapour pressure of a mixture is greater than the initial value of vapour pressure.

P_A >P^0_A\cdot x_A,P_B>P^0_B\cdot x_B

Therefore, P_A+P_B >P^0_A\cdot x_A+P^0_B \cdot x_B

Therefore, the enthalpy of mixing is greater than zero and change in volume is greater than zero.

Hence, option a,b,c and d are true.

Identify each of the following sets of quantum numbers as allowed or not allowed in the hydrogen atom.
Westkost [7]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly recall the electron configuration of hydrogen:

1s^1

To realize that the principal quantum number is 1, the angular is 0 as well as the magnetic one; therefore we infer that all the given n's are not allowed, just l=0 is allowed as well as ml=0 yet the rest, are not allowed.

Best regards!
