Interpretation:
The given chemical equations need to be balanced using the method mentioned in section 3.3.
Concept introduction:
Chemical equations are symbolic representations of
On the left side of arrow, the reactants are to be written and on the right side ofarrow, the products are to be written.
Chemical equations are denoted using chemical formulae of the elements and compounds involved.
Chemical formulae of elements are written on the basis of their atomicity.
Atomicity is measured as the number of atoms present in the molecules of an element.
Chemical formulae of compounds are written on the basis of the molecularity.
Molecularity is the number of molecules that react in an elementary (single-step) reaction.
When the same numbers of atoms of every element on both sides of the arrow are present, the equation is said to be balanced.
Balancing of chemical equations is done on the principle of “The Law of Conservation of Mass.”

- What is the stepwise mechanism for this reaction?arrow_forward32. Consider a two-state system in which the low energy level is 300 J mol 1 and the higher energy level is 800 J mol 1, and the temperature is 300 K. Find the population of each level. Hint: Pay attention to your units. A. What is the partition function for this system? B. What are the populations of each level? Now instead, consider a system with energy levels of 0 J mol C. Now what is the partition function? D. And what are the populations of the two levels? E. Finally, repeat the second calculation at 500 K. and 500 J mol 1 at 300 K. F. What do you notice about the populations as you increase the temperature? At what temperature would you expect the states to have equal populations?arrow_forward30. We will derive the forms of the molecular partition functions for atoms and molecules shortly in class, but the partition function that describes the translational and rotational motion of a homonuclear diatomic molecule is given by Itrans (V,T) = = 2πmkBT h² V grot (T) 4π²IKBT h² Where h is Planck's constant and I is molecular moment of inertia. The overall partition function is qmolec Qtrans qrot. Find the energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Helmholtz free energy for the translational and rotational modes of 1 mole of oxygen molecules and 1 mole of iodine molecules at 50 K and at 300 K and with a volume of 1 m³.
