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,

- The 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_forwardTable 16-1 shows the possible arrangements of four molecules in a two-bulbed flask. What are the possible arrangements if there is one molecule in this two-bulbed flask or two molecules or three molecules? For each, what arrangement is most likely?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.
