1 m3 of C3H4 at STP is burnt in oxygen, according to the thermochemical reaction : C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(l); ΔH = – 1410 kJ mol-1 Assuming 70% efficiency, determine how much of useful heat is evolved in the reaction.

Answer»

22.4 L of C2H4 at STP produces 1410 kJ of energy. 

1000 L of C2H4 at STP produces 1410/22.4 × 1000 (efficiency)

= 1410/22.4 x 1000 x 70/100 = 44.02 x 103 kJ

Explain why normal Zeeman effect occurs only in atoms with even number of electrons

Answer»

Normal Zeeman effect can be seen in atoms having zero spin. (because it is non-zero spin value that creates anomaly in the Zeeman effect) If there are even number of electrons in the valance shell, they should pair off and their magnetic moments get cancelled. So they acts like spinless (S = 0) particles. Hence, for normal Zeeman effect to occur, valance electrons of the atom must be even.
