- An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited from the ground state to the n = 3 state. True or false? (i) The n = 3 state is the first excited state. (ii) It takes more energy to ionize (remove) the electron from n = 3 than from the ground state. (iii) The electron is farther from the nucleus (on average) in n = 3 than in the ground %3D state. (iv) The wavelength of light emitted when the electron drops from n = 3 to n = 1 is longer than that from n = 3 to n = 2.arrow_forwardA solvent is evaporating into stagnant air with a constant molar flux of 0.05 mol/m2-s, and at a certain pointin the gas phase within the cylinder the concentration of the solvent is 5.0 mol/m3 and the concentration ofthe air is 36 mol/m3. WRF Fig 24.1 is a simple illustration of this evaporation process. Note that “stagnant” means that the flux of air is zero. Also note that since air has a defined composition it is typical to treat it as a single species rather than as a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. Thus the physical properties of “air” are widely tabulated. From this information, calculate the following z-velocities, using the z-coordinate as the vertical direction:a) The molar velocity of the solvent vapor in the z-direction.b) The molar velocity of the air in the z-direction.c) The molar average velocity at the given point.arrow_forwardF2 gas and excess iodine solid are heated together at high temperatures. The iodine sublimes and gaseous iodine heptafluoride forms. A 2.50L reaction vessel contains 350 torr of F2 gas and 2.50g of solid iodine at 250K which is then heated to 550K. What is the number of moles of excess iodine that would be left over once all the fluorine is used up? What is the total pressure at the end of the reaction? What is the partial pressure of the left over iodine gas as the end of the reaction? What is the balanced chemical equation for this reaction?arrow_forward
- The diffusion coefficient for carbon in a-Fe is 2.4 x 10-12 m2/s at 500 °C and 1.7 x 10-10 m2/s at 900 °C.

A fresh feed stream containing pure n-butane at temperature T, is mixed adiabatically with a recycle stream containing n-butane and isobutane, and the combined stream is fed to the reactor, where some but not all of the n-butane in the feed is converted. The reactor effluent is pumped to a distillation column. The overhead distillation product contains primarily isobutane and a small amount of n-butane. The bottoms product, which also contains both species, is the stream recycled to the reactor. The streams leaving the distillation column are at different temperatures. a) Determine the number of degrees of freedom associated with the feed mixer, the reactor, the distillation column, and the entire process. Include all unknown process stream temperatures and process unit heat duties in your analysis. b) Suppose a single-pass conversion of 35.0% is attained in the reactor, the overhead distillation column product contains 88.5 mole…arrow_forwardThermodynamics of Warfarin binding to human plasma albumin.Warfarin (coumadin) binds to human plasma albumin to prevent blood clotting in the reactionMeasured thermodynamic values for this reaction at 25oC are ∆G =-30.8 kJ/mol, ∆H=-13.1 kJ/mol, and ∆Cp~0.(a) Determine the entropy change for this reaction at 25oC.(b) Determine the fraction of unbound albumin over a temperature range of 0 to 50oC for a solution initially containing warfarin and albumin at 0.1 mM.arrow_forward
- An inlet water solution of 800kg/h containing 12.0 wt % acetone is extracted with the solvent trichloroethane containing 0.5 wt % acetone in a countercurrent tray tower at 250C. The trichloroethane is essentially immiscible with water up to a concentration of acetone in water of 27 wt %. The exit concentration in the water stream is set at 1.0 wt % acetone. The equilibrium data is tabulated in Table 1.
