Answer:
The higher the excitation state, the more energy the electron contains. When an electron absorbs energy, it jumps to a higher orbital. ... An electron in an excited state can release energy and 'fall' to a lower state.
Answer:
a) [H₃O⁺] = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M
b) pH = 4.75
c) % rxn = 3.5x10⁻³ %
Explanation:
a) The dissociation reaction of HCN is:
HCN(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)
0.5 M - x x x
The dissociation constant from the above reactions is given by:


By solving the above quadratic equation we have:
x = 1.75x10⁻⁵ M = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M = [H₃O⁺] = [CN⁻]
Hence, the [H₃O⁺] is 1.8x10⁻⁵ M.
b) The pH is equal to:
Then, the pH of the HCN solution is 4.75.
c) The % reaction is the % ionization:

Therefore, the % reaction or % ionization is 3.5x10⁻³ %.

Radiation doesn't need any medium, it also can travel in vacuum. unlike that conduction needs a good heat transmitor and convection travels in air.
The reaction is shown below, Acid protonates the carbonyl oxygen and makes the carbonyl carbon more electrophilic. Water attacks on activated carbonyl group and forms a tetrahedral intermediate.
Intermediate: Structure of Intermediate is shown both in 2-D and 3-D (below attached).
Carbonyl group is regenerated with the elimination of ethanol.
Reaction is as below, The final product is carboxylic acid.
