How does an electron reach an excited state

Chemistry

EleoNora [17]2 years ago

When an electron temporarily occupies an energy state greater than its ground state, it is in an excited state. An electron can become excited if it is given extra energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a nearby atom or particle.

When an electron quickly occupies an strength state increased than its ground state, it is in an excited state. An electron can end up excited if it is given greater energy, such as if it absorbs a photon, or packet of light, or collides with a close by atom or particle.

Iron(II) chloride is formed from the reaction between iron and copper(II) chloride. Fe + CuCl2 FeCl2 + Cu If the reactants have
elena55 [62]

Answer: see figure attached and explanation below.

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation (given):

Fe + CuCl₂ → Cu + FeCl₂

2) ΔHf reactants: -256 kJ/mol (given)

3) ΔHf products: - 321 kJ/mol (given)

4) ΔH reaction = ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants = - 321 kJ/mol - (- 256 kJ/mol) = - 65 kJ/mol

5) Conclusion:

i) Since ΔHf of products is less (more negative) than ΔHf of reactants, the reaction is exhotermic: the reaction released energy, which is the reason why the products content less potential energy than the reactants.

ii) Then, the energy diagram is the typical one of an exothermic reaction: the products start a certain potential energy level, the energy incrases until reaching the activation energy (the energy barrier to form the activated complex) and then energy decreases until a level below the energy of the reactants.

iii) See the attached figure with such kind of diagram showing the products at a lower level than the reactans

What is the percent composition of NaHCO3?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

                Option-C (27.36% Na, 1.20% H, 14.30% C, and 57.14% O)

Explanation:

<em>Percent Composition</em> is defined as the <u><em>%age by mass of each element present in a compound</em></u>. Therefore, it is a relative amount of each element present in a compound.

Calculating Percent Composition of NaHCO₃:

1: Calculating Molar Masses of all elements present in NaHCO₃:

              a) Na  =  22.99 g/mol

             b) H  =  1.01 g/mol

              c) C  =  12.01 g/mol

              d) O₃  =  16.0 × 3 =  48 g/mol

2: Calculating Molecular Mass of NaHCO₃:

              Na  =  22.99 g/mol

             H    =  1.01 g/mol

              C    =  12.01 g/mol

              O₃  =  48 g/mol

                       ----------------------------------  

Total                  84.01 g/mol

3: Divide each element's molar mass by molar mass of NaHCO₃ and multiply it by 100:

For Na:

                 =  22.99 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

                 =  27.36 %

For H:

                 =  1.01 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

                 =  1.20 %

For C:

                 =  12.01 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

                 =  14.29 % ≈ 14.30 %

For O:

                 =  48.0 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

                 =  57.13 % ≈ 57.14 %

Which of these bonds is the weakest?​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The first one has the weakest bond

Explanation:

The number of atoms together shows how strong the bonds in the second bond it is 4 bonds, the third is 8 bonds, the 4th one is 4 bonds thus why the first bond is the weakest.
