What could be a reason for the difference between the theoretical and experimental heats of reaction

Chemistry

Fiesta28 [93]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Theoretical value is the value a scientist expects from an equation, assuming perfect or near-perfect conditions. Experimental value, on the other hand, is what is actually measured from an experiment. Rarely (in fact never) are these numbers the same.

Take the area of a sheet of paper. I know that the area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the lengths of both sides together. I can assume an 8.5x11 sheet, so I calculate exactly 93.5 square inches. This is my theoretical value. When I actually do the measurements on my paper, it turns out my paper has been slightly cut on one end, or I’m measuring with a shoddy ruler. Therefore, I might measure only 92.8 square inches. This is my experimental value. See thats it’s close, but not exact.

Expanding on this concept, quantum mechanics is so widely accepted in the scientific community because many theoretical values calculated by mathmaticians concurred with experimental values to many, many decimal places. These would be constants such as Plank’s Constant, energy levels of harmonic potentials, and energy levels of the hydrogen atom.

iragen [17]

Answer:

(a) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

(b) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

(c) sp³

(d) No valence orbital remains unhybridized.

Explanation:

<em>Consider the SCl₂ molecule. </em>

<em>(a) What is the electron configuration of an isolated S atom? </em>

S has 16 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.

<em>(b) What is the electron configuration of an isolated Cl atom? </em>

Cl has 17 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.

<em>(c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds in SCl₂? </em>

SCl₂ has a tetrahedral electronic geometry. Therefore, the orbital 3s hybridizes with the 3 orbitals 3 p to form 4 hybrid orbital sp³.

<em>(d) What valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the S atom in SCl₂?</em>

No valence orbital remains unhybridized.

(5points) Na2[Fe(OH2)2(OH)I3]absorbs photons with energy of 191kJ/mol. Calculate the wavelength (in nm) for a photon absorbed by
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

626.7nm

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is defined as:

E = hc / λ

<em>Where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴Js), c is speed of light (3x10⁸m/s) and </em>λ is the wavelength of light

The energy of 1 photon is:

(191000 J / mol) ₓ (1 mole / 6.022x10²³) = 3.1717x10⁻¹⁹ J

Replacing:

3.1717x10⁻¹⁹ J = <em>6.626x10⁻³⁴Jsₓ3x10⁸m/s /  </em>λ

λ = 6.267x10⁻⁷m

as 1nm = 1x10⁻⁹m:

6.267x10⁻⁷m ₓ (1nm / 1x10⁻⁹m) =

<h3>626.7nm</h3>
