The strength of an acid is related to its __________________.
Extent of ionization.
CaCO{3}(s) –> CaO(s) + O{2}(g) Entropy?
Increase in entropy (states, solid to gas)
Cr{3} (aq) + 6H{2}O (L) –> [Cr(H{2}O){6}]{3} (aq) Entropy?
Decrease in entropy (more molecules on reactants side)
2O{3} (g) –> 3 O{2} (g) Entropy?
Increase in entropy (more molecules on product side)
On the BASIS OF ENERGY considerations, for a spontaneous reaction, heat should be:
Released
Out if ice, water, and vapors, the most random state is:
Vapors
If a reaction is slow, what does it tell us about the activation energy of that reaction?
It has a high activation energy
What are the different radiations coming from the sun and their percentage?
Infrared (IR) 53%
Visible 39%
Ultraviolet (UV) 8%
What absorbs most UV rays keeping them from the earths surface?
Oxygen and Ozone
Where is the ozone located?
Stratosphere layer
What is the maximum concentration of ozone in the densest region of the stratospheric layer?
10{19} molecules per cubic meter
Describe UV-A radiation
Wavelength: 320-400nm, least energetic (common on earth but not as dangerous as other types of UV radiations)
Causes; premature aging and wrinkling, can cause fatal skin cancer
Describe UV-B radiation
Wavelength: 280-320nm, intermediate energy, most UV-B absorbed by ozone O3….damages DNA and weakens immune system
Eye damage
Describe UV-C
Wavelength: 200-280nm, most energetic, completely absorbed by oxygen and ozone in the atmosphere
In 1995, who was awarded the Nobel prize for discovering CFCs are destroying the ozone layer?
Paul Crutzen, Sherwood Roland, and Mario Molina
Define reaction rate:
The amount of reactant converted to product in a specific time
