1. (10 points) Consider the reversible reaction A β B + C, with a forward rate of kf and a reverse rate of kr. A temperature jump experiment is performed where the relaxation time constant is measured to be 310 Β΅s, resulting in an equilibrium where Keq = 0.70 with [A]eq = 0.20 M.
a. (3 points) Calculate the relaxation time of the reaction. Assuming the following rate law:
ππ[π΄π΄]ππππ
= βππππ[π΄π΄] + ππππ[π΅π΅][πΆπΆ] = 0
The post-jump equilibrium concentrations with respect to the initial concentrations and concentration shift are:
[π΄π΄] β ΞΆ = [π΄π΄]ππππ [π΅π΅] + ΞΆ = [π΅π΅]ππππ [πΆπΆ] + ΞΆ = [πΆπΆ]ππππ
Therefore, the differential rate expression for the concentration shift, ΞΆ, is: ππΞΆππππ
= βπππποΏ½[π΄π΄]ππππ + ΞΆοΏ½ + πππποΏ½[π΅π΅]ππππ β ΞΆοΏ½οΏ½[πΆπΆ]ππππ β ΞΆοΏ½

electrons in the photoelectric effects depends on the frequency? How does this postulate differ from the predictions of classical physics?
Einstein postulated that the energy of light depends on the frequency, whereas in classical theory, the energy depends only on the intensity and is independent of the frequency. He further postulated that the energy of light could only be an integral multiple of hΞ½.

1. (6 points) A particle in a 1D box has as its initial wave function an even mixture of the first two stationary states Ξ¨(π₯π₯, 0) = π΄π΄[ππ1(π₯π₯) + ππ2(π₯π₯)].
a. Normalize Ξ¨(π₯π₯, 0). First we calculate |Ξ¨|2,

Since the functions ππππ,ππβ1,2, are stationary states of the 1D particle in a box, then they define an orthonormal basis set. The latter implies that β« ππππβπππππππ₯π₯ = 0 if ππ β ππ, and β« ππππβπππππππ₯π₯ = 1 if ππ = ππ. Therefore,

At low temperatures, as indicated in the schematic and by the Arrhenius plot, a lower energy pathway is present. The lower energy pathway appears due to quantum tunneling. Due to quantum tunneling the potential barrier, is overpassed by the wave-like electrons, which are not trapped in the local minima, like a classical particle would be.

The activation energy for the reaction is proportional to the height of the potential energy barrier ππ0. Let the total energy of the electrons in the system be described by E.

3. (10 points (bonus)) Is Ξ¨(1, 2) = 1s(1)Ξ±(1)1s(2)Ξ²(2) + 1s(2)Ξ±(2)1s(1)Ξ²(1) an eigenfunction of the oper-ator Sz = Sz1 + Sz2? If so, what is its eigenvalue MS?
Solution:
SZ [1s(1)Ξ±(1)1s(2)Ξ²(2) + 1s(2)Ξ±(2)1s(1)Ξ²(1)]
= (Sz1 + Sz2)[1s(1)Ξ±(1)1s(2)Ξ²(2) + 1s(2)Ξ±(2)1s(1)Ξ²(1)]

A. Photo electron emission C H = 4Ο2Ah I Β· S
B. Spin magnetic resonance E M = ΟB
C. Hyperfine coupling B HZ = βgΒ΅BB0SZD. Zeeman effect A Ekinetic = hΞ½ β Ebinding
E. Magnetic susceptibility D HZ = βΒ΅ Β·B
2. (6 points) Given the normal modes shown in the following figure, decide which of the normal modes ofCO2 and H2O have a nonzero dynamical dipole moment and are therefore infrared active. The motionof the atoms in the second of the two doubly degenerate bend modes for CO2 is identical to the first butis perpendicular to the plane of the page.
H2O symmetric Active H2O asymmetric Active H2O bend ActiveCO2 symmetric Inactive CO2 asymmetric Active CO2 bend Active
Solution: All three vibrational modes of water will lead to a change in the dipole moment and aretherefore infrared active. The symmetric strech of carbon will not lead to a change in the dipolemoment and is not infrared active. The other two modes will lead to a change in the dipole momentand are infrared active.

4. For a given molecule:
(a) (2 points) Why would you observe a pure rotational spectrum in the microwave region?
CHEM444 Physical Chemistry II, Page 2of 1 May 9, 2019
Solution: A ppure rotational spectrum is observed in the microwave region because the photonenergy is insufficient to cause vibrational excitations.
(b) (2 points) Why would you observe a rotational-vibrational spectrum in the infrared region?
Solution: A rotational-vibrational spectrum is observed in the infrared region because absorp-tion of an infrared photon can cause all excitations whose energies are equal to or less than thephoton energy.
