Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
Answer:
The boiling point is 308.27 K (35.27°C)
Explanation:
The chemical reaction for the boiling of titanium tetrachloride is shown below:
Ti
⇒ Ti
ΔH°
(Ti) = -804.2 kJ/mol
ΔH° (Ti) = -763.2 kJ/mol
Therefore,
ΔH° = ΔH° (Ti) - ΔH° (Ti) = -763.2 - (-804.2) = 41 kJ/mol = 41000 J/mol
Similarly,
s°(Ti) = 221.9 J/(mol*K)
s°(Ti) = 354.9 J/(mol*K)
Therefore,
s° = s° (Ti) - s°(Ti) = 354.9 - 221.9 = 133 J/(mol*K)
Thus, T = ΔH° /s° = [41000 J/mol]/[133 J/(mol*K)] = 308. 27 K or 35.27°C
Therefore, the boiling point of titanium tetrachloride is 308.27 K or 35.27°C.
One of the greatest examples of entropy working in everyday life is the fact that a messy room is the norm. So if you clean your room it will likely become messy over a period of time, and work will have to be put in to make it orderly again.
