Answer : The reaction 2 is spontaneous.

Explanation :

As we know that:

$\Delta G$ = +ve, reaction is non spontaneous

$\Delta G$ = -ve, reaction is spontaneous

$\Delta G$ = 0, reaction is in equilibrium

For the reaction to be spontaneous, the Gibbs free energy of the reaction must come out to be negative.

Reaction 1:

Glucose + Pi $\rightarrow$ glucose-6-phosphate + H₂O, ΔG = +13.8 kJ/mol

Reaction 2:

ATP + H₂O $\rightarrow$ ADP + Pi, ΔG = -30.5 kJ/mol

From this we conclude that the value of ΔG is negative. So, reaction 2 is a spontaneous reaction.

The unit cell for cr2o3 has hexagonal symmetry with lattice parameters a = 0.4961 nm and c = 1.360 nm. If the density of this ma

IRINA_888 [86]

To calculate the packing factor, first calculate the area and volume of unit cell.

Area is calculated as:

$A=6R^{2}\sqrt{3}$

Here, R is radius and is related to a as follows:

$R=\frac{a}{2}$

Putting the value in expression for area,

$A=6(\frac{a}{2})^{2}\sqrt{3}=1.5a^{2}\sqrt{3}$

The value of a is 0.4961 nm

Since, $1 nm=10^{-7}cm$

Thus, $0.4961 nm=4.961\times 10^{-8} cm$

Putting the value,

$Area=1.5(4.961\times 10^{-8}cm)^{2}\sqrt{3}=6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2}$

Now, volume can be calculated as follows:

$V=Area\times c$

The value of c is 1.360 nm or $1.360\times 10^{-7} cm$

Putting the value,

$V=(6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2})\times (1.360\times 10^{-7} cm)=8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}$

now, number of atom in unit cell can be calculated by using the following formula:

$n=\frac{\rho N_{A}V_{c}}{A}$

Here, A is atomic mass of $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ is 151.99 g/mol.

Putting all the values,

$n=\frac{(5.22 g/cm^{3})(6.023\times 10^{23} mol^{-1})(8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3})}{(151.99 g/mol)}\approx 18$

Thus, there will be 18 $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ units in 1 unit cell.

Since, there are 2 Cr atoms and 3 oxygen atoms thus, units of chromium and oxygen will be 2×18=36 and 3×18=54 respectively.

The atomic radii of $Cr^{3+}$ and $O^{2-}$ is 62 pm and 140 pm respectively.

Converting them into cm:

$1 pm=10^{-10}cm$

Thus,

$r_{Cr^{3+}}=6.2\times 10^{-9}cm$

and,

$r_{O^{2-}}=1.4\times 10^{-8}cm$

Volume of sphere will be sum of volume of total number of cations and anions thus,

$V_{S}=V_{Cr^{3+}}+V_{O^{2-}}$

Since, volume of sphere is $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$ ,

$V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{Cr^{3+})^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{O^{2-})^{3}} \right )$

Putting the values,

$V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (6.2\times 10^{-9} cm)^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (1.4\times 10^{-8} cm)^{3}} \right )=6.6\times 10^{-22}\times 10^{-8}cm^{3}$

The atomic packing factor is ratio of volume of sphere and volume of crystal, thus,

$packing factor=\frac{V_{S}}{V_{C}}=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}{8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}=0.758$

Thus, atomic packing factor is 0.758.

1. For which of these elements would the first ionization energy of the atom be higher than that of the diatomic molecule?

Lyrx [107]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The energy necessary to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion is known as ionization energy.

This means that smaller is the size of an atom more amount of energy has to be supplied to it in order to remove the valence electron. This is because in small atom or element there will be strong force of attraction between the nucleus and electrons.

So, high amount of energy has to be supplied to remove the valence electrons.

As electronic configuration of helium is $1s^{2}$ . So, due to completely filled valence shell it is more stable in nature.

As a result, we need to provide very high amount of energy to remove an electron from a helium atom.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options helium element would the first ionization energy of the atom be higher than that of the diatomic molecule.

Write the Lewis structure for ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, then answer the following questions:

hodyreva [135]

Answer :

(1) The number of valence electrons present in the compound is, 20

(2) The number of bonded electrons present in the compound is, 16

(3) The number of lone pair electrons present in the compound is, 4

(4) The number of single bonds present in the compound is, 8

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $CH_3CH_2OH$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $CH_3CH_2OH$ = 2(4) + 6(1) + 6 = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons or lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of $CH_3CH_2OH$ is shown below.

Helium is a very important element for both industrial and research applications. In its gas form it can be used for welding, an

pentagon [3]

Answer:

P = 20.1697 atm

Explanation:

In this case we need to use the ideal gas equation which is:

PV = nRT (1)

Where:

P: Pressure (atm)

V: Volume (L)

n: moles

R: universal gas constant (=0.082 L atm / K mol)

T: Temperature

From here, we can solve for pressure:

P = nRT/V (2)

According to the given data, we have the temperature (T = 20 °C, transformed in Kelvin is 293 K), the moles (n = 125 moles), and we just need the volume. But the volume can be calculated using the data of the cylinder dimensions.

The volume for any cylinder would be:

V = πr²h (3)

Replacing the data here, we can solve for the volume:

V = π * (17)² * 164

V = 148,898.93 cm³

This volume converted in Liters would be:

V = 148,898.93 mL * 1 L / 1000 mL

V = 148.899 L

Now we can solve for pressure:

P = 125 * 0.082 * 293 / 148.899

<h2>P = 20.1697 atm</h2>
