Answer:

Li

Explanation:

The phenomenon of wave particle duality was well established by Louis deBroglie. The wavelength associated with matter waves was related to its mass and velocity as shown below;

λ= h/mv

Where;

λ= wavelength of matter waves

m= mass of the particle

v= velocity of the particle

This implies that if the velocities of all particles are the same, the wavelength of matter waves will now depend on the mass of the particle. Hence; the wavelength of a matter wave associated with a particle is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the particle's linear momentum. The longest wavelength will then be obtained from the smallest mass of matter. Hence lithium which has the smallest mass will exhibit the longest DeBroglie wavelength

A mixture of gases containing 0.20 mol of SO2 and 0.20 mol of O2 in a 4.0 L flask reacts to form SO3. If the temperature is 25ºC
diamong [38]

Answer : The pressure in the flask after reaction complete is, 2.4 atm

Explanation :

To calculate the pressure in the flask after reaction is complete we are using ideal gas equation.

PV=n_TRT\\\\P=(n_1+n_2)\times \frac{RT}{V}

where,

P = final pressure in the flask = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

V = volume = 4.0 L

n_1 = moles of SO_2 = 0.20 mol

n_2 = moles of O_2 = 0.20 mol

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

P=(0.20+0.20)mol\times \frac{(0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (298K)}{4.0L}

P=2.4atm

Thus, the pressure in the flask after reaction complete is, 2.4 atm

In the reaction N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3, an experiment finds equilibrium concentrations of [N2] = 0.1 M, [H2] = 0.05 M, and [NH3] = 0.00
jasenka [17]
  The   equilibrium  constant  Kc   for  this  reaction    is  calculated  as  follows

from  the  equation   N2  + 3H2 =2 NH3

   qc =   (NH3)2/{(N2)(H2)^3}


Qc   is  therefore  = ( 0.001)2  /{(0.1) (0.05)^3}  = 0.08

What fraction of the carbon dioxide exhaled by animals is generated by the reactions of the citric acid cycle
puteri [66]

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Pyruvate is produced by the glycolysis in cytoplasm. The oxidation of pyruvate takes place in mitochondrial matrix.  

Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the reaction given below:

Pyruvate + NAD⁺ + CoA-SH ⇒ acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO₂

1 molecule of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 1 molecule of pyruvate.

Also,  

2 molecules of carbon dioxide is eliminated from 2 molecules of pyruvate (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate).

Also, acetyl-CoA further goes into the citric acid cycle and produces 2 molecules of carbon dioxide.

Thus pyruvate produces total 3 molecules of CO₂  and hence glucose produces 6 molecules of CO₂ (as glucose on glycolysis yields 2 molecules of pyruvate)

Thus,

<u>Fraction = 2/6 = 1/3</u>

what can you say about the average distance from the nuclease of an electron the 2's orbital as compared with a 3s orbital
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

A 3s orbital is at a greater average distance from the nucleus than a 2s orbital

Explanation:

As the principal quantum number n increases, the distance of the orbital from the nucleus increases. Hence if we consider the 2s and 3s orbitals, it is easy to see that the 3s orbital is at a greater distance from the nucleus than the 2s orbitals.

This is clearly seen when we plot the radial distribution against the distance from the nucleus. This enables us to visualize the region in space in which an electron may be found.
