Concept explainers
Interpretation:
For each of the following observations (a) the mass spectrum of molecular bromine shows three lines for the parent ion
Concept Introduction:
Two or more species, if they possess the same number of electrons are called isoelectronic species. For example,
Atomic number (Z) = number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom of the element = number of electrons present in a neutral atom of the element
A chemical bond is a force of attraction which holds two atoms together.
Molecular orbitaltheory is a method for describing the electronic structure of molecules. This theory allocates electrons to molecular orbitals formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals.
Bond Order = ½ (number of bonding electron – number of antibonding electron)

- Explain how measuring carbon isotope (12C, 13C,14C) abundance in atmospheric CO2 provides evidence that atmospheric carbon dioxide is increasing because of fossil fuel combustion.arrow_forward7. The zirconium oxalate K,Zr(C204)3(H2C204) · H20 was synthesized by mixing 1.68 g of ZroCl2 · 8H20 with 5.20 g of H2C204 · 2H20 and an excess of aqueous KOH. After 2 months, 1.25 g of crystalline product was obtained, as well as aqueous KCl and water. Calculate the percent yield.arrow_forwardWe did an alum synthesis lab, formula: KAl(SO4 )2 · xH2O(s) → KAl(SO4 )2 (s) + xH2O(g) Based on all of the tests you performed, what can you conclude about the identity and purity of your synthesized alum (referencing back to your claim and explaining the connection with warrant statements!)? Tests performed: Potassium flame test (purple flame, so potassium was in there), Sulfate test, adding sulfate, precipitate formed, and aluminum test, formed precipitate. Did a melting point test too, 91.3C, crucible tests as wellarrow_forward
- 1.00 g of hydrated potassium carbonate, K2CO3•nH2O, is heated to 250 °C to give 0.836 g anhydrous K2CO3. What is the value of n?arrow_forward3. Consider the nickel salt: (NH4 )2Ni(SO4 )2 ·y H2O (Ammonium Nickel Sulfate Hydrate), where y is the number of coordinated waters. (a) Assuming that the product is anhydrous (y = 0), what is the theoretical yield of ammonium nickel sulfate from 1.500 g of Ni (s)? (b) The actual yield of product was 9.640 g - obviously containing coordinated water. The product was then heated strongly until all the water had been driven off. The resulting anhydrous salt had mass 7.000 g. What is the value of y? (c) Based on the mass of the anhydrous product (7.000 g), what is the % yield of the reaction?arrow_forwardBalance the following equations by adding the appropriate coefficients.
