Answer:

Due to an electron-pair acceptor and donor.

Explanations:

Lewis acid can be defined as an electron-pair acceptor. An example is Hydrogen ion(H+). This is because it is a proton and it distributes positive charge which means that it accepts electrons(negative charge).

Lewis base can be defined as an electron-pair donor. This is because it donates electrons to be accepted by the proton. An example is ammonia(NH3).

Define shielding and effective nuclear charge. What is the connection between the two?

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The relation between the shielding and effective nuclear charge is given as

$Z_{eff} = Z -S$

where s denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge

Z - atomic number

Explanation:

shielding is referred to as the repulsion of an outermost electron to the pull of electron from valence shell. Higher the electron in valence shell higher will be the shielding effects.

Effective nuclear charge is the amount of net positive charge that valence electron has.

The relation between the shielding and the effective nuclear charge is given as

$Z_{eff} = Z -S$

wheres denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge

Z - atomic number

Consider the following reaction at constant P. Use the information here to determine the value of Î”Ssurr at 355 K. Predict whet

Sloan [31]

The given reaction is as follows:

2NO (g) + O₂ (g) = 2NO₂ (g), ΔH = -114 kJ

It is known that dSsurr = -dHsys / T (Temp = 355 K)

So, dSsurr = - (-114 × 1000) / 355

dSsurr = +321.12 J/K

Hence, the value of dSsurr is +321.12 J/K

For a reaction to be spontaneous, dG<0,

Also dStotal = dSsys + dSsurr > 0

It is known that dG = dHsys - TdSsys,

Now let us assume,

dG<0

Also, dStotal = dSsys + dSsurr > 0

(-114 × 1000) - (355 × dSsys) <0

355 × dSsys > -114 × 1000

dSsys > -321

dSsys >dSsurr

dSsys + dSsurr > 0

dStotal > 0

Thus, the assumption is correct, and the given reaction is spontaneous. Hence, the final answer is Ssurr = +321 J/K reaction is spontaneous.

What are the five main points of kinetic theory of gas?

jekas [21]

Answer:

2) Gas molecules do not have preferred direction of motion, their motion is completely random. 3) Gas molecules travels in straight line. 4) The time interval of collision between any two gas molecules is very small. 5) The collision between gas molecules and the walls of container is perfectly elastic.
