Answer:

An orbital is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Explanation:

The orbital is a concept that developed in quantum mechanics. Recall that Neils Bohr postulated that the electron occupied stationary states which he called energy levels. Electrons emit radiation when the move from a higher to a lower energy level. Similarly, energy is absorbed by an electron to move from a lower to a higher orbit.

This idea was upturned by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle state that the momentum and position of a particle can not be simultaneously measured with precision.

Instead of defining a 'fixed position' for the electron, we define a region in space where there is a possibility of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy. This orbital is identified by a set of quantum numbers.

A 2.20 mol sample of NO 2 ( g ) is added to a 3.50 L vessel and heated to 500 K. N 2 O 4 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 NO 2 ( g ) K c = 0.513

Answer:

[NO₂] = 0.434 M

[N₂O₄] = 0.0971 M

Explanation:

The equilibrum is: N₂O₄(g) ⇆ 2NO₂ (g)

1 moles of nitrogen (IV) oxide is in equilibrium with 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide.

Initally we only have 2.20 moles of NO₂. So let's write the equilibrium again:

2NO₂ (g) ⇆ N₂O₄(g)

Initially 2.20 mol -

React x x/2

X amount has reacted, and the half has been formed, according to stoichiometry.

Eq (2.20-x) / 3.50L (x/2)/ 3.50L

We divide by the volume because we need molar concentrations. Let's make the Kc's expression:

Kc = [N₂O₄] / [NO₂]²

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / [(2.20-x) / 3.50L]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / [(2.20-x)² / 3.50L²]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / [2.20-x)² / 3.50L²]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / (4.84 - 4.40x + x²) / 12.25)

0.513 / 12.25 (4.84 - 4.40x + x²) = x/2 / 3.50

0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x² = x/2 / 3.50

3.50(0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x²) = x/2

7 (0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x²) - x = 0

1.421 - 2.288x + 0.2933x² = 0 → Quadratic formula

a = 0.2933 ; b = -2.288 ; c = 1.421

(-b +- √(b²-4ac)) / (2a)

x₁ = 7.12

x₂ = 0.68 → We consider this value, so we can have a (+) concentration.

Concentrations in the equilibrium are:

[NO₂] = (2.20-0.68) / 3.50 = 0.434 M

[N₂O₄] = (0.68/2) / 3.50 = 0.0971 M

Pairs

BabaBlast [244]

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Water freezes at 0°C

If a piece of platinum is placed in acid, it will not react.

<h3>What are the correct pairing of the given terms?</h3>

The correct pairing of the given terms are obtained from the given options as follows:

Atoms of elements contains three sub-atomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Energy is the ability to do work.

According to the law of conservation of energy, Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Water is a liquid which freezes at 0°C.

Therefore, Water freezes at 0°C.

Platinum is a metal which is less reactive than hydrogen, Hence, it cannot displace hydrogen from acids.

Hence, if a piece of platinum is placed in acid, it will not react.

In conclusion, the correct pairing gives the correct description of the properties of the given terms.

I am in desperate need of help will give 40 points to whoever helps me!!!!! I have a quiz tomorrow but I have no idea how to do

serious [3.7K]

All of the questions here are pertaining to the colligative properties of a solution and the preparation of solutions. Maybe, it would be best if you understand the equations to be used in order to answer these questions.
Freezing point depression or Boiling point elevation:

ΔT = -K (m) (i)

ΔT is the change in the freezing point or the boiling point not the freezing point/boiling point. Therefore, it should be added to the original value of the property of the solvent.

K is a constant called the molal freezing point depression constant and for the boiling point is the boiling point elevation constant. It is a property of the solvent.

m is the concentration of the solute in the solvent in terms of molality or kg solute/kg solvent.

i is the vant hoff factor which will represent the number of ions which the solute dissociates when in solution.

Do chemical equations with no reaction still have to be balanced

dangina [55]

Answer:

The same number of atoms of each element must appear on both sides of a chemical equation. However, simply writing down the chemical formulas of reactants and products does not always result in equal numbers of atoms. You have to balance the equation to make the number of atoms equal on each side of an equation.
