Concept introduction:
Different linearly independent wavefunctions that have same energy are called degenerate. This is expressed in terms of degeneracy. If two functions are having same energy then they are called doubly degenerate and so on. The electronic partition function is represented as,

- Chlorine dioxide (C1O2), which is produced by the reaction 2NaC1O2(aq)+Cl2(g)2ClO2(g)+2NaCl(aq) has been tested as a disinfectant for municipal water treatment. Using data from Table 17-1, calculate and G at 25C for the production of ClO2.arrow_forwardThe Ostwald process for the commercial production of nitric acid involves three steps: 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)825CPt4NO(g)+6H2O(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)2HNO3(l)+NO(g) a. Calculate H, S,G and K (at 298 K) for each of the three steps in the Ostwald process (see Appendix 4). b. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the first step at 825C, assuming H and S do not depend on temperature. c. Is there a thermodynamic reason for the high temperature in the first step, assuming standard conditions?arrow_forwardHydrogen sulfide can be removed from natural gas by the reaction 2H2S(g)+SO2(g)3S(s)+2H2O(g) Calculate G and K (at 298 K) for this reaction. Would this reaction be favored at a high or low temperature?arrow_forward
- Under what conditions is N2O3(g)NO(g)+NO2(g) spontaneous?arrow_forwardUsing data from Appendix 4, calculate H, G, and K (at 298 K) for the production of ozone from oxygen: 3O2(g)2O3(g) At 30 km above the surface of the earth, the temperature is about 230. K and the partial pressure of oxygen is about 1.0 103 atm. Estimate the partial pressure of ozone in equilibrium with oxygen at 30 km above the earth's surface. Is it reasonable to assume that the equilibrium between oxygen and ozone is maintained under these conditions? Explain.arrow_forwardAn experiment involving inorganic syntheses of molecular precursors to organometallic ceramics requires reactions that involve the formation of a metal-metal bond. The percentage of such a bond forming is p=20% If X is the number of successful reactions out of 25 such experiments; a) what is the minimum number of successful reactions are formed if 58% of them form the metal-metal bond? b) what is the probability of having the third successful reaction on the 5th experiment? c) What is the probability that the successful bond is formed for the first time on the 3th experiment?arrow_forward
