Answer:

pH=4.1

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for a concentration of 0.42 M of benzoic acid whose Ka is 6.3x10⁻⁵ in 0.33 M sodium benzoate, we use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation to compute the required pH:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )

Whereas the concentration of the base is 0.33 M and the concentration of the acid is 0.42 M, thereby, we obtain:

pH=-log(Ka)+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\pH=-log(6.3x10^{-5})+log(\frac{0.33M}{0.42M} )\\\\pH=4.1

Regards.

Which of the subshells below do not exist due to the constraints upon the angular momentum quantum number?A) 2dB) 2sC) 2pD) all
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

  • Option A): <em>Due to the constraints upton the angular momentum quantum number, the subshell </em><u><em>2d</em></u><em> does not exist.</em>

Explanation:

The <em>angular momentum quantum number</em>, identified with the letter l (lowercase L),  number is the second quantum number.

This number identifies the shape of the orbital or <em>kind of subshell</em>.

The possible values of the angular momentum quantum number, l, are constrained by the value of the principal quantum number n: l can take values from 0 to n - 1.

So, you can use this guide:

Principal quantum   Angular momentum         Shape of the orbital

number, n                 quantum number, l

         1                                      0                             s

         2                                     0, 1                          s, p

         3                                     0, 1, 2                      s, p, d

Hence,

  • <u>the subshell 2d (n = 2, l = 2) is not feasible</u>.

  • 2s (option B) is possible: n = 2, l = 0

  • 2p (option C) is possible: n = 2, l = 1
