Explanation:

Ne is a noble gas. It already has an octet of electrons hence, the electron affinity of neon is negative.

Br is a halogen, halogens need one electron to complete their octet. The electron affinity for bromine is negative.

Sodium is a metal that has only one electron in its outermost shell. The electron affinity of sodium is positive.

Magnesium is a metal having two electrons in its outermost shell. The electron affinity of magnesium is positive.

Chlorine is another halogen, energy is released when an electron is added to chlorine hence the electron affinity of chlorine is negative.

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answers

Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction is [tex]2.8\times 10^{-5}[/tex]

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}[/tex]

Moles of  [tex]Ni(CO)_4[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.597g}{170.7g/mol}=0.0035moles[/tex]

Moles of  [tex]Ni[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{12.7g}{58.7g/mol}=0.216moles[/tex]

Moles of  [tex]CO[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{1.98g}{28.01g/mol}=0.071moles[/tex]

Volume of solution = 2.7 L

Equilibrium concentration of [tex]Ni(CO)_4[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.0035mol}{2.7L}=1.29\times 10^{-3}M[/tex]

Equilibrium concentration of [tex]Ni[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.216mol}{2.7L}=0.08M[/tex]

Equilibrium concentration of [tex]CO[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.071mol}{2.7L}=0.026M[/tex]

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            [tex]Ni(CO)_4\rightleftharpoons Ni+4CO[/tex]

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

[tex]K_c=\frac{[Ni]^1\times [CO]^4}{[Ni(CO_4]^1}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

[tex]K_c=\frac{(0.08)^1\times (0.026)^4}{(1.29\times 10^{-3})^1}[/tex]

[tex]K_c=2.8\times 10^{-5}[/tex]

Thus the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction is [tex]2.8\times 10^{-5}[/tex]

Explanation:

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as octane (C_8H_18) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid octane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
2. Suppose 0.330 kg of octane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 10.0 ?C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answers

Answer: 1. [tex]2C_8H_{18}(l)+25O_2(g)\rightarrow 16CO_2(g)+18H_2O(g)[/tex]

2. The volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced is 537 L

Explanation:

1. Combustion is defined as the type of chemical reaction where a hydrocarbon is combusted in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

The balanced reaction for combustion of octane is:

[tex]2C_8H_{18}(l)+25O_2(g)\rightarrow 16CO_2(g)+18H_2O(g)[/tex]

2.

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]   [tex]\text{Moles of octane}=\frac{0.330\times 1000g}{114.23g/mol}=2.89moles[/tex]

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of octane produce = 16 moles of carbon dioxide

2.89 moles of octane produce = [tex]\frac{16}{2}\times 2.89=23.1moles[/tex] of carbon dioxide

According to ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles = 23.1

R = gas constant =[tex]0.0821Latm/Kmol[/tex]

T =temperature =[tex]10.0^0C=(10+273)K=283K[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{nRT}{P}[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{23.1\times 0.0821Latm/K mol\times 283K}{1atm}=537L[/tex]

Thus the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced is 537 L

3.00 g of a fuel (MW = 650.0 g/mol) is combusted in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 25.0 degrees Celsius. The heat capacity for the calorimeter has been determined to be 9.001kJ/C. What is the heat of reaction (in kJ/mol)?​

Answers

Answer:

-4.88 × 10⁴ kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter (Qcal)

We will use the following expression.

Qcal = C × ΔT

where,

C: heat capacity of the calorimeterΔT: temperature change

Qcal = 9.001 kJ/°C × 25.0°C = 225 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the heat released by the fuel

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the fuel (Qf) and the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is zero.

Qf + Qcal = 0

Qf = -Qcal = -225 kJ

Step 3: Calculate the heat of reaction in kJ/mol

3.00 g of a fuel (MW = 650.0 g/mol) released 225 kJ of heat. The heat of reaction is:

-225 kJ/3.00 g × 650.0 g/mol = -4.88 × 10⁴ kJ/mol

Without these we would not be able to bend our arms or legs. A. Levers B. Bones C.Joints

Answers

Answer:

Joints

Explanation:

Without joints we would not be able to bend our arms or legs. Hence option C is correct.

What is bending?

Bending is defined as the behavior of a thin structural element under an external load that is applied perpendicular to the element's longitudinal axis. Plants and their parts are thought to bend as a result of a flexure process in which the curvature of the plant part changes. The plant organs' collenchyma gives them flexibility and elasticity, preventing them from breaking when bent.

The force required to bend, straighten, and support joints is applied by muscles to the bones. Muscles act in pairs of flexors and extensors because they may pull on bones but not put them back into place. The extensor muscle relaxes and stretches as the flexor muscle contracts to bend the joint.

Thus, without joints we would not be able to bend our arms or legs. Hence option C is correct.

How much heat (in kJ) would need to be removed to cool 150.3 g of water from 25.60°C to -10.70°C?

Answers

Answer:

Q = -22.9 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of water, m = 150.3 g

Water gets cool from 25.60°C to -10.70°C.

The specific heat of water, c = 4.2 J/g°C

The formula for heat needed is given by :

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=150.3\times 4.2 \times (-10.7-25.6)\\\\Q=-22914.738\\\\or\\\\Q=22.9\ kJ[/tex]

So, 22.9 kJ of heat is needed to be removed to cool.

Determine the m/v% of a solution where 5 g of sugar is dissolved in enough water to yield 250 mL of total solution

Answers

Answer:

2 %m/v

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of sugar (solute): 5 gVolume of solution: 250 mL

Step 2: Calculate the %m/v of sugar in the solution

We will use the following expression.

%m/v = mass of sugar/volume of solution × 100%

%m/v = 5 g/250 mL × 100% = 2 %m/v

This means that there are 2 grams of sugar every 100 milliliters of solution.

Answers

1: 10 mol CO2

2: C10H24

3: 12 mol H2O

4: 0.5 mol

5: 16 mol O2

The compound is C5H10.

From the information  available in the question;

Number of moles of carbon dioxide = 440.00 g/44 g/mol = 10 moles

Number of moles of water vapor = 216.00 g/18 g/mol = 12 moles

Mass of carbon = 10 moles × 12 g/mol = 120 g of carbon

Moles of hydrogen = 12 moles  × 2 g/mol = 24 g of hydrogen

Number of moles of carbon = 120 g/12 g/mol = 10 moles

Number of moles of hydrogen = 24 g/1 g/mol =24 moles

Divide through by the lowest number of moles =

C - 10/10   H - 24/10

C - 1          H - 2

The empirical formula is CH2

Molar mass of the compound = 72 g/mol

[12 + 2(1)]n = 72

14n = 72

n = 5

The compound is C5H10.

6.02. 1023 particles

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.07 *10^{24} \ particles}}[/tex]

Explanation:

To convert from moles to representative particles, Avogadro's number: 6.02*10²³ is used. This number tells us the amount of particles in 1 mole of a substance. We can use it as a ratio.

[tex]\frac {6.02*10^{23} \ particles}{1 \ mol \ CO_2}}[/tex]

Multiply by the given number of moles.

[tex]13.4 \ mol \ CO_2 *\frac {6.02*10^{23} \ particles}{1 \ mol \ CO_2}}[/tex]

The moles of carbon dioxide will cancel out.

[tex]13.4 *\frac {6.02*10^{23} \ particles}{1}}[/tex]

The denominator of 1 can be ignored and this becomes a simple multiplication problem.

[tex]13.4 * {6.02*10^{23} \ particles[/tex]

[tex]8.0668*10^{24} \ particles[/tex]

The original number of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us round the 6 to a 7.

[tex]8.07 *10^{24} \ particles[/tex]

13.4 moles of carbon dioxide has approximately 8.07*10²⁴ particles.

Explanation:

A P E X

The spontaneous reaction at 298 K is the one having

ΔH = 28 kJ/mol, ΔS = 0.109 kJ/(mol-K)

We know the formula of Gibb's free energy as-

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG = 28 - (298 × 0.109)

ΔG = -4.48

If a reaction is spontaneous, change in Gibb's free energy is negative and change in entropy is positive.

Therefore, The spontaneous reaction at 298 K is the one having

ΔH = 28 kJ/mol, ΔS = 0.109 kJ/(mol-K)
