The modern view of an electron orbital in an atom can best be described as

Chemistry

Roman55 [17]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Zinc carbonate dissolves in water to the extent of 1.12 x 10-4 g/L at 25 C. Calculate the solubility product Ksp for ZnCO3 at 25
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Ksp= 7.98 × 10^-13

Explanation:

According to the question, we are to calculate the solubility constant (Ksp) of Zinc carbonate (ZnCO3) in a dissolved solution.

The equilibrium of the reaction is:

ZnCO3 (aq) ⇌ Zn2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq)

According to this; 1 mole of Zinc carbonate (ZnCO3) dissolves to give 1 mole of Zinc ion (Zn2+) and 1 mole of carbonate ion (CO32-).

This illustrates that:

(Zn2+) = 1.12 x 10-4 g/L

(CO32-) = 1.12 x 10-4 g/L

However, 1.12 x 10-4 g/L is the solubility in mass concentration of ZnCO3, we need to convert it to molar concentration in mol/L by dividing by the relative molar mass of ZnCO3.

To calculate the molar mass of ZnCO3, we say:

Zn (65.4) + C (12) + 03 (16×3)

= 65.4+12+48

= 125.4g/mol.

Hence, molar concentration= 1.12 x 10-4 g/L / 125.4 g/mol

= 8.93 × 10^-7 mol/L.

Therefore;

Zn2+) = 8.93 x 10-7 mol/L

(CO32-) = 8.93 x 10-7 mol/L

Ksp = [Zn2+] [CO32-]

Ksp = (8.93 x 10-7) × (8.93 x 10-7)

Ksp = 7.98 × 10^-13

The reaction below describes cellular respiration. Which compounds are the reactants and which are the products? C6 H12 O6+ 6 O2
rjkz [21]

Answer:

C6H12O6 and 6O2 are reactants.

6CO2 and 6H2O are products.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

      Reactants                       Products

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration :

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration :

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.  

Steps involve in anaerobic respiration are:

Glycolysis :

Glycolysis is the first step of both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It involve the breakdown of one glucose molecule into pyruvate and 2ATP.

Fermentation :

The second step of anaerobic respiration is fermentation. It involve the fermentation of pyruvate into lactic acid or alcohol depending upon the organism in which it is taking place. There is no ATP produced, however carbon dioxide is released in this step.

Does changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles affect the rate at which the reaction occurs?
Agata [3.3K]
Answer: yes


When the concentration of all the reactants increases then the rate of reaction increases. When the concentration decreases then the rate of reaction decreases.

This all because more molecules or ions form new compounds. Or losses.
