Answer:What happens to the temperature of a substance during a phase change? Why does this happen?

Explanation:During a phase change the temperature remains constant. This is because the heat supplied to change the state of matter is used in breaking the intermolecular forces and other attractive forces. Therefore, the temperature remains constant as no heat is absorbed or released.

Calculate the standard free-energy change at 25 ∘C for the following reaction:

lianna [129]

Answer:

Standard free-energy change at $25^{0}\textrm{C}$ is $-3.80\times 10^{2}kJ/mol$

Explanation:

Oxidation: $Mg(s)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq.)$

Reduction: $Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^{-}\rightarrow Fe(s)$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall: $Mg(s)+Fe^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq.)+Fe(s)$

Standard cell potential, $E_{cell}^{0}=E_{Fe^{2+}\mid Fe}^{0}-E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}$

So, $E_{cell}^{0}=(-0.41V)-(-2.38V)=1.97V$

We know, standard free energy change at $25^{0}\textrm{C}$ ( $\Delta G^{0}$ ): $\Delta G^{0}=-nFE_{cell}^{0}$

where, n is number of electron exchanged during cell reaction, 1F equal to 96500 C/mol

Here n = 2

So, $\Delta G^{0}=-(2)\times (96500C/mol)\times (1.97V)=-380210J/mol=-380.21kJ/mol=-3.80\times 10^{2}kJ/mol$

A block of wood has a volume of 55 cm3 and a mass of 550 g. What would be its density? Answer in units of g/cm3.

VLD [36.1K]

given,

volume (V)=55cm3

mass(m)=550g

now density=m/v

=550/55

=10 g/ cm3

How can we calculate empirical formula

Serggg [28]

Explanation:

TO calculate emperical formula , we need percentage composition of the elements and molecular mass of a specific compound which is already given in the question

then create a table with 1.name of element, 2.percentage given and its atomic mass , 3.no. of moles

( %given/at.mass of element) ... then take the least value in the no. of moles you have found now and divide with each no. of moles value .. to get a simple digit number.

You have got the empirical formula
