Can someone help me w 20 ASAP!!

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.

The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

How many moles of ethane (C2H6) would be needed to react with 62.3 grams of oxygen gas?

Vladimir [108]

Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas

Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988

Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol

now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1

1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products

this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it

Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6

Be sure to answer all parts.The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the formation of nitrosyl chloride from nitric oxide and chlorine,

djverab [1.8K]

<u>Answer:</u> The reaction proceeds in the forward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g)$

Relation of $K_p\text{ with }K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta n_g}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = ?

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = $6.5\times 10^4$

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = $35^oC=[35+273]K=308K$

$\Delta n_g$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-3=-1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=6.5\times 10^4\times (0.0821\times 500)^{-1}\\\\K_p=1583.43$

$K_p$ is the constant of a certain reaction at equilibrium while $Q_p$ is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.
