Consider a surface that has N sites each of which can adsorb one gas molecule. suppose that it is in contact with a gas with the chemical potential u. Assume that an adsorbed molecule has energy -e0 compared to one in the gas phase. Show that the surface coverage T (the ratio of adsorbed molecules to adsorbing sites) is given as

T=1/(exp(-(u+e0)/kT)+1). (Hint: You can ignore the volume change upon adsorption, which means that the Gibbs free energy is equal to the Helmholtz free enrgy in this system.)

Consider the molecule CF3H. Draw the structure for this molecule, then use it to assess each statement. Select all true statements. This molecule is polar because all molecules containing the highly electronegative F atom are polar. The bond angles for this molecule will be less than 109.5 degrees. An electrostatic potential map of this molecule would show a rainbow of colors with the red end of the rainbow at the H atom. This molecule is polar and its dipole runs...

Consider a society of n people. Everybody has access to a common meadow. Each individual can choose either a high level of grazing on the meadow H or a low level of grazing L. If an individual chooses H, they receive a private benefit of b and impose a cost of c on each individual in society including themselves (i.e. a cost of c on individual 1, a cost of c on individual 2, etc.). If an individual chooses L,...

suppose that a bf3 molecule approaches the lone pair on the N atom of an ammonia molecule (:NH3) and that a bond forms between the B atom and the N atom. Consider the arrangement of electron pairs about the B atom at the moment of this bond formation and describe the repulsions among the electron pairs and how they might be expected to change the geometry around the boron atom. Use Lewis structures to illustrate your explanation.
