Answer:

Speed of light

Explanation:

The value 3.0 x 10⁸m/s is taken as the speed of light.

It is a constant.

It implies that light travels a distance of 3 x 10⁸ in just one second.
This value is for the speed of light in a vacuum when there are not particles obstructing its movement.
The speed of electromagnetic radiations in free space is also taken as the speed of light.

The decomposition reaction of N2O5 in carbon tetrachloride is 2N2O5−→−4NO2+O2. The rate law is first order in N2O5. At 64 °C the

Answer:

(a) rate = 4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹ [N2O5]

(b) rate = 1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s

(d) rate = 5.80 x 10⁻⁵ M/s

Explanation:

We are told the rate law is first order in N₂O₅, and its rate constant is 4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹ . This means the rate is proportional to the molar concentration of N₂O₅, so

(a) rate = k [N2O5] = 4.82 x 10⁻³s⁻¹ x [N2O5]

(b) rate = 4.82×10⁻³s⁻¹ x 0.0240 M = 1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s

(c) Since the reaction is first order if the concentration of N₂O₅ is double the rate will double too: 2 x 1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴ M/s

(d) Again since the reaction is halved to 0.0120 M, the rate will be halved to

1.16 x 10⁻⁴ M/s / 2 = 5.80 x 10⁻⁵ M/s

Explain the Law of Conservation of Mass in terms of the atoms and bonds in a chemical reaction.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

no matter is destroyed or created, it merely changes form. In terms of atoms and bonds, there will be the same amount of atoms at the beginning of an experiment as the amount of atoms at the end of experiment. All that will have happened, is that during the reaction, bonds will have been broken and formed making new compounds. However, the amount of atoms remains exactly the same because matter can not be created or destroyed

determine whether each of the following electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth m

mamaluj [8]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Determine whether each of the following electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a transition metal. Justify your choices.

(a) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

(b) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2$

(d) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1$

Answer :

(a) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$ → Halogen

(b) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2$ → Transition metal

(c) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6$ → Transition metal

(d) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1$ → Transition metal

Explanation :

Inert gas : These are the gases which lie in group 18.

Their general electronic configuration is: $ns^2np^6$ where n is the outermost shell.

Halogen : These are the elements which lie in group 17.

Their general electronic configuration is: $ns^2np^5$ where n is the outermost shell.

An alkali metal : These are the elements which lie in group 1.

Their general electronic configuration is: $ns^1$ where n is the outermost shell.

An alkaline earth metal : These are the elements which lie in group 2.

Their general electronic configuration is: $ns^2$ where n is the outermost shell.

Transition elements : They are the elements which lie between 's' and 'p' block elements. These are the elements which lie in group 3 to 12. The valence electrons of these elements enter d-orbital.

Their general electronic configuration is: $(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}$ where n is the outermost shell.

(a) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the halogen family.

(b) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2$

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(c) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6$

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(d) $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1$

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.
