(a) Prove [A, bB+cC] = b[A, B]+c[A, C], where b and c are constants. (b) Prove [AB, C] = A[B, C] +[A, C]B. (c) Use the last relation to work out the commutator [x^2 , p], given that [x, p] = i¯h. (d) Work out the result of [x 2 , p]f(x) directly, by computing the effect of the operators on f(x), and confirm that this agrees with your answer to (c). [12]

In a generic chemical reaction involving reactants A and B and products C and D, aA+bB→cC+dD, the standard enthalpy ΔH∘rxn of the reaction is given by ΔH∘rxn=cΔH∘f(C)+dΔH∘f(D) −aΔH∘f(A)−bΔH∘f(B) Notice that the stoichiometric coefficients, a, b, c, d, are an important part of this equation. This formula is often generalized as follows, where the first sum on the right-hand side of the equation is a sum over the products and the second sum is over the reactants: ΔH∘rxn=∑productsnΔH∘f−∑reactantsmΔH∘f where m and...

Learning Goal: To understand reaction order and rate constants. For the general equation aA+bB?cC+dD, the rate law is expressed as follows: rate=k[A]m[B]n where m and n indicate the order of the reaction with respect to each reactant and must be determined experimentally and k is the rate constant, which is specific to each reaction. Order For a particular reaction, aA+bB+cC?dD, the rate law was experimentally determined to be rate=k[A]0[B]1[C]2=k[B][C]2 This equation is zero order with respect to A. Therefore, changing...
