Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

The atomic orbital and radius increases by gaining electron linearly so even electron numbered atoms are diamagnetic while the odd electron numbered atoms are paramagnetic.

Running through the first 18 elements one can observe that there is an alternative odd number of electrons and an even number proofing that that half of the first 18 elements shows paramagnetism and diamagnetism respectively.

A substance that contains more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions in solution could have which pH value?

Hunter-Best [27]

Hydronium ions are basically H+ ions.
So if [OH-]>[H+]
This means that the substance is more basic.
and basic substances a pH>7.
Therefore a possible pH value would be 10.

Problem PageQuestionSteam reforming of methane ( ) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas,

Serhud [2]

The question is incomplete. Her eis the complete question.

Steam reforming methane (CH4) produces "synthesis gas", a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas, which is the starting point for many important industrial chemical syntheses. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 125L tank with 20 mol of methane gas and 10 mol of water vapor at 38°C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of gas hydrogen to be 18 mol. Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the steam reforming of methane at the final temperature of the mixture. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer: $K_{c}$ = 2. $10^{-2}$

Explanation: The reaction for steam reforming methane is:

$CH_{4} + H_{2}O$ ⇒ $CO_{} + 3H_{2}$

To calculate the concentration equilibrium constant, first calculate the molarity ( $\frac{mol}{L}$ ) of each molecule of the reaction.

At 38°C: At the initial temperature, there no products yet

Molarity of CH4:

CH4 = $\frac{20}{125}$ = 0.16M

Molarity of H20:

H2O = $\frac{10}{125}$ = 0.08M

At final temperature:

Molarity of H2:

H2 = $\frac{18}{125}$ = 0.144M

According to the chemical reaction, the combination of 1 mol of each reagents produces 1 mol of CO and 3 mols of H2, so, for the products, the ratio is 1:3.

Molarity of CO:

CO = $\frac{0.144}{3}$ = 0.048M

For the reagents, the proportion is 1:1, but they had an initial concentration, so, when in equilibrium, the concentration will be:

Molarity of CH4:

CH4 = 0.16 - 0.048 = 0.112M

Molarity of H2O:

H20 = 0.08 - 0.048 = 0.032M

The equilibrium constant is given by:

$K_{c} = \frac{[CO][H_{2}]^{3} }{[CH_{4}][H_{2}O ] }$

$K_{c}$ = $\frac{0.048.0.144^{3} }{0.112.0.032}$

$K_{c}$ = 2. $10^{-2}$

The concentration equilibrium constant for the process is $K_{c}$ = 2. $10^{-2}$ .
