Deuterium is the isotope of hydrogen of mass number 2, with a proton and a neutron in its nucleus. The chemistry of deuterium is

nearly identical to the chemistry of hydrogen, except that C−D bond is slightly (5.0KJ/mole) stonger than the C−H bond. Reaction rates tend to be slower if a C−D bond as opposed to a C−H bond is broken in a rate limiting step. This effect on the rate is called a kinetic isotope effect.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

We know that the zero-point-energy of a C-D system is quite lower than the zero point energy of the C-H bond so the C-D bond is stronger.

Kinetic isotope effect refers to the change in the rate of reaction owing to a change of one of the atoms of the reactants by replacing it with one of its isotopes.

Since we know that the C-D bond is stronger than the C-H bond, when we replace hydrogen with deuterium in a reaction's rate determining step we experience a little lag in the rate of reaction. This is referred to as the kinetic isotope effect in physical organic chemistry.

Why are only certain colors absorbed by and emitted from an atom?
zavuch27 [327]
The way I would explain it is quite difficult to understand, so this is what Google says. "The wavelength (or equivalently, frequency) of the photon is determined by the difference in energy between the two states. These emitted photons form the element's spectrum. The fact that only certain colors appear in an element's atomic emission spectrum means that only certain frequencies of light are emitted." I hope this helped.

The free energy change for the following reaction at 25 °C, when [Cr3+] = 1.32×10-3 M and [Fe3+] = 1.14 M, is 131 kJ: Cr3+(1.32×
larisa [96]

Answer:

E°cell = - 1.3575 V

This reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction

Explanation:

The given cell reaction:

Cr³⁺(1.32 × 10⁻³ M) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + Fe³⁺(1.14 M)

The given Gibbs free energy: ΔG = 131 kJ = 131 × 10³ J     (∵ 1 kJ = 10³ J)

As we know,

ΔG = - n F E°cell

Here, n - the number of moles of electrons transferred = 1

F - Faraday constant = 96500

E°cell - cell potential = ?

\therefore E^{\circ }_{cell} = -\frac{\Delta G}{n \: F} = -\frac{131\times 10^{3}\, J}{1\, mol\times96500 \, C.mol^{-1}}

\Rightarrow E^{\circ }_{cell} = -1.3575\, V

<u>For a given chemical reaction if-</u>

1. ΔG = negative and E°cell = positive

⇒ <em>The reaction is spontaneous and proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.</em>

2.  ΔG = positive and E°cell = negative

⇒ <em>The reaction is non-spontaneous and proceeds spontaneously in the reverse direction.</em>

<u>Since, for this chemical reaction: </u>

Cr³⁺(1.32 × 10⁻³ M) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + Fe³⁺(1.14 M)

ΔG = + 131 × 10³ J ⇒ positive

and, E°cell = - 1.3575 V ⇒ negative

<u>Therefore, this reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.</u>
