s - orbitals have a spherical symmetry and the probability of finding an electron in an s orbital is equal for equal distance in x, y or z direction. i mean the probability of lets say an electron found at a distance 10 units from nuclues, its value will be same for x, y and z when u go 10 units distnace from nucleus in these directions. then the value at 5 units would be some value which also would be same for x,y and z.
Easier explanation is that if u place a ball, can u tell towards which axis it is oriented? no, its equally in all directions. So, non- directional.
However, if you have p- orbitals like dumb bells, a dumb bell can be oriented in three different directions, either x or y or z. see the pics.
Reduction reactions are those reactions that reduce the oxidation number of a substance. Hence, the product side of the reaction must contain excess electrons. The opposite is true for oxidation reactions. When you want to determine the potential difference expressed in volts between the cathode and anode, the equation would be: E,reduction - E,oxidation.
To cancel out the electrons, the e- in the reactions must be in opposite sides. To do this, you reverse the equation with the negative E0, then replacing it with the opposite sign.
Pb(s) --> Pb2+ +2e- E0 = +0.13 V
Ag+ + e- ---> Ag E0 = +0.80 V
Adding up the E0's would yield an overall electric cell potential of +0.93 V.
Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.
To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.
Answer : At constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.
Explanation :
Work done : Any quantity that flows across the boundary of a system during a change in its state and it completely convertible into the lifting of a weight in the surroundings.
Formula for work done is:
Sign convention :
- When volume expand then system work that means work done by the system.
w = (-ve)
- When volume compress then surrounding work that means work done on the system.
w = (+ve)
The given reaction is:
This is a evaporation process in which phase changes from liquid state to gaseous state at constant temperature.
At constant pressure, work depends only on volume.
In evaporation process, the volume expand that means work is done by the system on the surroundings.
Sign convention is, w = (-ve)
Thus, at constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.
The water molecules will flow from b to a due to osmosis.
Osmosis is where water molecules will flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a selectively permeable membrane.
When the water molecule concentration is higher, it has a higher water potential top. Water potential is the tendency for them to flow to a lower region.
The net movement will stop until both sides of the solution has a same water potential.
