Band theory
The atomic orbitals of metals combine to form <em>molecular orbitals</em>. The molecular orbitals are so close in energy that they form a <em>band</em> of energies.
<em>Ionic bond theory</em> is incorrect because there are no ions in metals.
<em>Covalent bond theory</em> is incorrect because there are no covalent bonds in metals.
<em>Electron bond theory</em> is incorrect because there is no theory with that name (but there is a <em>valence bond theory</em>).
At 50 degrees Celsius and standard pressure inter-molecular forces of attraction are strongest in a sample of ethanoic acid.
Ethanoic acid has hydrogen atom bonded with a more electronegative atom; Oxygen. As a result, the molecule possesses strong intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds. Therefore; ethanoic acid, and all other carboxyllic acids have the tendency to form dimers.
Answer:
Equilibrium constant expression for
:
.
Where
,
, and
denote the activities of the three species, and
,
, and
denote the concentrations of the three species.
Explanation:
<h3>Equilibrium Constant Expression</h3>
The equilibrium constant expression of a (reversible) reaction takes the form a fraction.
Multiply the activity of each product of this reaction to get the numerator.
is the only product of this reaction. Besides, its coefficient in the balanced reaction is one. Therefore, the numerator would simply be
.
Similarly, multiply the activity of each reactant of this reaction to obtain the denominator. Note the coefficient "
" on the product side of this reaction.
is equivalent to
. The species
appeared twice among the reactants. Therefore, its activity should also appear twice in the denominator:
.
That's where the exponent "
" in this equilibrium constant expression came from.
Combine these two parts to obtain the equilibrium constant expression:
.
<h3 /><h3>Equilibrium Constant of Concentration</h3>
In dilute solutions, the equilibrium constant expression can be approximated with the concentrations of the aqueous "
" species. Note that all the three species here are indeed aqueous. Hence, this equilibrium constant expression can be approximated as:
.
Answer:
The mass of CO in 12,000 Liters of air is
.
Explanation:
The ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in one Liter of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.
To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

The ppm concentration of CO = 10 ppm
Mass of CO = m
Volume of air = 12,000 L


The mass of CO in 12,000 Liters of air is
.
