When two atoms combine, the overlap of their atomic orbitals produces molecular orbitals. 
Yanka [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Molecular orbitals are mathematical functions that define the wave behavior of electrons within molecules, always from the point of view of quantum chemistry. Mathematical functions are used to find physicochemical properties, such as the probability of finding the electron in a given space.

So, according to the theory of molecular orbitals, the covalent bonds of the molecules are formed by overlapping atomic orbitals, so that the new molecular orbitals belong to the entire molecule and not to a single atom. During the formation of a bond, the atomic orbitals approach and begin to overlap, releasing energy as the electron of each atom is attracted by the positive charge of the nucleus of the other atom. The greater the overlap, the greater the release of energy and, therefore, the lower the energy of the molecular orbital. If the process of approximation of atoms continues, the atomic nuclei can repel each other, which causes the energy of the system to increase.

What is the oxidation state of each individual carbon atom in c2o42−?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

+3

Explanation:

The oxygen all have a -2 oxidation state. (peroxides are exceptions)

The chemical structure is symmetrical. Both carbon are equivalent.

2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (oxidation state of oxygen) = charge of ion.

2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (-2) = -2

oxidation state of carbon = +3

Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is 68% nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of
dsp73
The first thing we need to do here is to recognize the unit of molarity and the units of the given percentage of nitric acid.

Molarity is mol HNO3 / L of solution. This is our aim

The given percentage is 0.68 g HNO3/ g solution

multiplying this with density to convert g solution into mL solution and dividing with the molecular weight of HNO3 (63 g/mol) to convert g HNO3 to mol. Therefore we obtain

0.016 mol/ mL or 16.23 mol/ L (M)

Chlorine pentafluoride gas is collected at -17.0 °C in an evacuated flask with measured volume of 35.0 L. When all the gas has b
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

1. The mass of Chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5, is 39.16g

2. The number of mole of Chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5, is 0.3mole

Explanation:

1. To solve the mass of Chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5, first, let us calculate the molar mass of ClF5. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of ClF5 = 35.5 + (5 x 19) = 35.5 + 95 = 130.5g/mol

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

Recall:

Number of mole(n) = mass (m) /Molar Mass(M)

n = m/M

Now substituting the value of n in equation 1, we have:

PV = nRT

PV = mRT/M

Now we can obtain the mass of Chlorine pentafluoride ClF5 as follow:

Data obtained from the question include:

T (temperature) = -17.0 °C = - 17 + 273 = 256K

V (volume) = 35L

P (pressure) = 0.180 atm

R (gas constant) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

m (mass of Chlorine pentafluoride) =?

M (molar mass of Chlorine pentafluoride) = 130.5g/mol

PV = mRT/M

0.180 x 35 = m x 0.082 x 256/ 130.5

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

m x 0.082 x 256 = 0.180x35x130.5

Divide both side by 0.082 x 256

m = (0.180x35x130.5) /(0.082x256)

m = 39.16g

Therefore, the mass of Chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5, is 39.16g

2. The number of mole of ClF5 can be obtained as follow:

Mass of ClF5 = 39.16g

Molar Mass of ClF5 = 130.5g/mol

Mole of ClF5 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mole of ClF5 = 39.16/130.5g

Mole of ClF5 = 0.3mole
