Quantum numbers describe values of conserved quantities in the dynamics of a quantum system. In the case of electrons, the quantum numbers can be defined as "the sets of numerical values which give acceptable solutions to the Schrödinger wave equation for the hydrogen atom

The compound methylamine, CH3NH2, is a weak base when dissolved in water. Write the Kb expression for the weak base equilibrium

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]

Explanation:

According to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory:

An acid is a substance that donates H⁺.
A base is a substance that accepts H⁺.

When methylamine reacts with water, it behaves as a Brönsted-Lowry base, according to the following reaction.

CH₃NH₂(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The basic equilibrium constant (Kb) is:

Kb = [CH₃NH₃⁺] × [OH⁻] / [CH₃NH₂]

Earth is about 150 million km from the Sun. The radiation coming from the Sun travels at 300,000 km/s. How long does it take for

meriva

It takes exactly 500 seconds for the sun's radiation to reach the earth or about 8 minutes (8.333333333333... to be exact). Just divide 150 million km by 300,000 km/s. Hope this helps

A chemist must dilute of aqueous aluminum chloride solution until the concentration falls to . He'll do this by adding distilled

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

0.257 L

Explanation:

The values missing in the question has been assumed with common sense so that the concept could be applied

Initial volume of the AICI3 solution $=23.1 \mathrm{mL}$

Initial Molarity of the solution $=833 \mathrm{mM}$

Final molarity of the solution $=75.0 \mathrm{mM}$

Final volume of the solution $=?$

From Law of Dilution, $M_{f} V_{f}=M_{i} V_{i}$

$\Rightarrow V_{f}=\frac{M_{i} V_{i}}{M_{f}}=\frac{833 \mathrm{mM} \times 23.1 \mathrm{mL}}{75.0 \mathrm{mM}}=256.564 \mathrm{mL}=0.256564 \mathrm{L}=0.257 L$

Final Volume of the solution $=0.257$

Identify each statement as true or false. Explain in every case.a.Ionization energies are always negative quantities.b.Oxygen ha

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) FALSE

(b) FALSE

(d) FALSE

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed for removal of a valence electron present in valence shell of a gaseous atom.

(a) The value of ionization energy of an atom is always positive. This is because energy has to be always supplied or provided to a gaseous atom for the removal of the valence electron.

Therefore, the statement (A) is false

(b) The ionization energy of an atom increases across a period i.e. from left to right. This is because the effective nuclear charge that is experienced by the valence electron increases from left to right in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases.

So, more energy is required to remove the valence electron of fluorine as compared to oxygen.

Therefore, the ionization energy of fluorine is greater than oxygen.

Therefore, the statement (B) is false

(c) First ionization energy is energy needed for removal of first electron present in valence shell of a neutral atom. Whereas, second ionization energy is the energy needed for removal of second electron present in valence shell of a monovalent cation

The second ionization energy of an atom is always greater than the first ionization energy. This is because removing an electron from a positively charged species, requires more energy.

Therefore, the statement (C) is true

(d) The third ionization energy refers to the energy needed to remove the third electron from a divalent cation.

Therefore, the statement (D) is false
