  4. An equation that describes the reaction rates of a chemical reaction

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Schrödinger equation is a differential equation that describes the wave function of a system. It is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics and is used to calculate the energy levels, chemical bonding, and reaction rates of molecules.

What is the Born-Oppenheimer approximation?

  1. An approximation that separates the electronic and nuclear motion in a molecule

  2. An approximation that neglects the interaction between electrons in a molecule

  3. An approximation that neglects the vibrational motion of atoms in a molecule

  4. An approximation that neglects the rotational motion of molecules

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Born-Oppenheimer approximation is an approximation that separates the electronic and nuclear motion in a molecule. It is based on the assumption that the electrons move much faster than the nuclei, so that the electronic motion can be treated independently of the nuclear motion.

What is the Hartree-Fock method?

  1. A method for calculating the wave function of a molecule

  2. A method for calculating the energy levels of a molecule

  3. A method for calculating the chemical bonding in a molecule

  4. A method for calculating the reaction rates of a chemical reaction

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Hartree-Fock method is a method for calculating the wave function of a molecule. It is based on the assumption that the electrons in a molecule are independent of each other, and it uses a self-consistent field approach to solve the Schrödinger equation.

What is the density functional theory (DFT)?

  1. A method for calculating the energy levels of a molecule

  2. A method for calculating the chemical bonding in a molecule

  3. A method for calculating the reaction rates of a chemical reaction

  4. A method for calculating the properties of materials

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Density functional theory (DFT) is a method for calculating the properties of materials. It is based on the assumption that the energy of a system can be expressed as a functional of the electron density, and it uses a variational approach to find the ground state energy and wave function of the system.

What is the second law of thermodynamics?

  1. The total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time

  2. The total energy of an isolated system always decreases over time

  3. The total volume of an isolated system always increases over time

  4. The total pressure of an isolated system always decreases over time

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time. This means that the system becomes more disordered over time.

What is the Gibbs free energy?

  1. The energy of a system at constant temperature and pressure

  2. The enthalpy of a system at constant temperature and pressure

  3. The entropy of a system at constant temperature and pressure

  4. The volume of a system at constant temperature and pressure

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Gibbs free energy is the energy of a system at constant temperature and pressure. It is a thermodynamic potential that is used to calculate the equilibrium properties of a system.

What is the rate law for a chemical reaction?
