Answer:

Option A is correct.

Atomic orbitals developed using quantum mechanics describe regions of space in which one is most likely to find an electron

Explanation:

Atomic orbitals developed using quantum mechanics make use of quantum numbers.

There are four different quantum numbers that all work to give the region of space where a particular electron has the highest probability of being located.

The four quantum numbers that describes an electron's most likely location in an atom include

1) Principal quantum number, denoted by letter n. This quantum number gives the shell that an electron in an atom belongs to. It can take on natural number values from 1 (for the shell closest to the nucleus) through 2, 3, 4.... till rhe outermost shell.

2) Azimuthal/Angular Momentum quantum number, denoted by l. This quantum number describes the subshell or orbital within a shell that the electron belongs to in an atom.

It can take on values that can range from 0 to (n-1). These are the spdf orbitals with s-orbital having l-quantum number of 0, p-orbital with l-quantum number of 1 etc.

3) Magnetic quantum number, denoted by letter m. This describes the sub-orbital that the electron belongs to. It's values for electrons in a particular orbital vary from -l through 0 to +l.

E.g. orbital with l = 1 has electrons whose magnetic quantum number vary from -1, 0, +1.

orbital with l = 2 has electrons whose magnetic quantum number vary from -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

4) Spin quantum number, denoted by letter s.

This describes the orientation of the electron's spin. Whether clockwise or anti-clockwise in it's sub-orbital. It can take on only values of (+1/2) or (-1/2).

So, these four quantum numbers, numbers that were made known because of quantum mechanics, show that atomic orbitals developed using quantum mechanics describe regions of space in which one is most likely to find an electron in an atom.

Hope this Helps!!!

What are the empirical and molecular formulas of a hydrocarbon if combustion of 2.10 g of the compound yields 6.59 g co2 and 2.7
mariarad [96]

 The  empirical  formula    of hydrocarbon is  CH2

The  molecular formula  of the  hydrocarbon is  C6H12


    <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Hydrocarbon  is  made up  of carbon and hydrogen


<h3><u><em> </em></u>Empirical formula  calculation</h3>

 Step 1:  find  the  moles   CO2  and  H2O

moles =mass/molar mass

moles   of CO2 =  6.59 g/ 44 g/mol = 0.15 moles

moles of H2O = 2.70 g / 18 g/mol =  0.15  moles

Step 2: Find the moles  ratio  of Co2:H2O  by diving  each mole by smallest mole(0.15)

that  is  for  CO2 = 0.15/0.15  =1

              For H2O = 0.15/0.15 =1

therefore  the mole ratio  of Co2 : H2O = 1:1  which  implies that 1 mole of Co2  and 1  mole of H2O is  formed  during combustion reaction.


From the  the law of mass conservation the number  of atoms in reactant side  must  be equal to  number of  atoms  in product side

therefore  since  there 1 atom  of C  in product side there  must be 1 atom of C  in reactant  side.

In addition  there is 2 H atom in product  side  which should be the  same  in reactant side.  

From information above the empirical formula is therefore = CH2


Molecular formula  calculation

[CH2}n= 84 g/mol

[12+ (1x2)] n = 84 g/mol

14 n =  84 g/mol

n = 6

multiply the  each subscript  in CH2  by  6

 Therefore the molecular formula = C6H12

Explain why solar energy is considered an inexhaustible source of energy
scoray [572]

Answer:

Solar power

Or in some cases, from heat from the sun. ... Solar energy is a renewable free source of energy that is sustainable and totally inexhaustible, unlike fossil fuels that are finite. It is also a non-polluting source of energy and it does not emit any greenhouse gases when producing electricity.

Butane (C4 H10(g), mc031-1.jpgHf = –125.6 kJ/mol) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO2 , mc031-2.jpgHf = –393.5 kJ/
ankoles [38]

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane is:

2C_{4}H_{10}(g) +13 O_{2}(g)-->8CO_{2}(g)+10H_{2}O(g)

ΔH_{reaction}^{0} = Σn_{products}ΔH_{f}^{0}_{(products)}-Σn_{reactants}ΔH_{f}^{0}_{(reactants)}

                         = [{8*(-393.5kJ/mol)}+{10*(-241.82kJ/mol)}]-[{2*(-125.6kJ/mol)}+13*(0 kJ/mol)}]=[-3148kJ/mol+(-2418.2kJ/mol)]-[(-251.2kJ/mol)+0]

                      = -5315 kJ/mol

Calculating the enthalpy of combustion per mole of butane:

1mol C_{4}H_{10}*( \frac{-5315kJ}{2mol C_{4}H_{10} })=-2657.5 \frac{kJ}{molC_{4}H_{10}}

Therefore the heat of combustion per one mole butane is -2657.5 kJ/mol

Correct answer: -2657.5 kJ/mol
