Consider the Russell- Saunders coupling scheme for two non-equivalent electrons in an excited 2p1 3d1 configuration. For all parts (a) to (c) give your reasoning:
(a) Show that strong coupling between orbital angular momenta (ℓ ℓ coupling) gives rise to P, D and F terms with L magnitudes of 2½ħ, 6½ħ and 12½ħ.
(b) If coupling between spin momenta (s-s coupling) is considered in addition to ℓ ℓ coupling, what six terms arise?
(c) If coupling between the orbit and spin angular momenta is also considered (LS coupling), how many terms arise?

Draw the internuclear potential as a function of nuclear separation for the ground and excited states of a molecule where the equilibrium separation of the (bound) excited state is smaller than that in the ground state. Draw in the vibrational levels for each state, the electronic transition from the ground vibrational state, and the dissociation energies for each electronic state. What should the spectrum look like?

0.308 g magnesiumsulphate, that contains crystal water, is dissolved in water, så the total volume is 125.0 mL. To completely precipitate the suflation as barium sulfate in 25.0 mL of this solution, 5.0 mL of 0.050 M barium hydroxide is required.
Calculate how many moles of crystal water are in 1 mole of magnesium sulfate.
I am lost in this one, hope for some help :)

Determine the rate constant at 10 degrees C? If a reaction
mixture is 0.160 M in C2H5Br, and 0.260 M in OH−, what is the
initial rate of the reaction at 85 ∘C ? The kinetics of the
following second-order reaction were studied as a function of
temperature:
C2H5Br(aq)+OH−(aq)→C2H5OH(l)+Br−(aq)
| Temperature (∘C) | k (L/mol⋅s) |
| 25 | 8.81×10−5 |
| 35 | 0.000285 |
| 45 | 0.000854 |

A 10.010.0 mL sample of whiskey was diluted to 500.0 mL. A 4.004.00 mL aliquot of the diluted sample was removed and the ethanol, C2H5OHC2H5OH , was distilled into 50.00 mL of 0.022500.02250 M K2Cr2O7K2Cr2O7 and oxidized to acetic acid.
3C2H5OH+2Cr2O2−7+16H+⟶4Cr3++3CH3COOH+11H2O3C2H5OH+2Cr2O72−+16H+⟶4Cr3++3CH3COOH+11H2O
The excess Cr2O2−7Cr2O72− was then back titrated with 23.523.5 mL of 0.13300.1330 M Fe2+Fe2+ , producing Cr3+Cr3+ and Fe3+Fe3+ . Calculate the weight per volume percent (% w/v) of ethanol in the original whiskey sample.
