What must occur when an electron in an atom returns from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?

Butadiene undergoes a reaction at a certain temperature in the gas phase as follows: 2c4h6(g) --> c8h12(g) the following data were collected for this reaction: time (min) [c4h6] (m) 0 0.36 15 0.30 30 0.25 48 0.19 75 0. determine the order of the reaction and the rate constant. 1st order and k = 4.3x10 -4 s-1 1st order and k = 2.3x10-4 s-1 2nd order and k = 4.3x10-4 s-1 2nd order and k = 2.3x10-4 s-1 zero and k = 4.3x10-4 s-1

Drug abuse will not lead to physical and psychological dependence. true or false ?

Suppose a pair of chemical compounds a and b can react in two different ways: a + b -> c reaction 1 gives product c. a + b -> d reaction 2 gives product d. the following facts are known about the two reactions: . reaction 1 is endothermic and reaction 2 is exothermic. if a reaction vessel is charged (filled) with a and b , then at first d is produced faster than c. use these facts to sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for both reactions. note: because these sketches are only qualitative, the energies don? t have to be exact. they only have to have the right relationship to each other. for example, if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.
