The balanced thermochemical equation is

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

<h3>What is thermochemical equation? </h3>

A Thermochemical Equation is defined as the balanced stoichiometric chemical equation which includes the enthalpy change, ΔH.

The chemical equation for the decomposition of potassium bromide to its constituent elements bromine ans potassium :

KBr ----- K + Br2

The balanced thermochemical equation of the decomposition of potassium bromide to its constituent elements potassium and bromide as follows

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

As the heat is absorbed in this reaction therefore, heat is positive.

Thus, we concluded that the balanced thermochemical equation is

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

When 47.2 J of heat is added to 13.4 g of a liquid, its

leva [86]

Answer: 2.02 J/g°C

Explanation:

To find the heat capacity, we have to manipulate the equation for heat.

q=mCΔT becomes C=q/(mΔT) to find heat capacity. Since we are given our values, we can plug in to find C.

$C=\frac{47.2J}{13.4g*1.74°C}$

*Please ignore the capital A in front of the °C. In order to have ° in the equaiton, the A pops up.

$C=2.02J/g°C$

Select True or False: The equilibrium constant for the chemical equation 2NO(g) O2(g) 2NO2(g) is two times the equilibrium const

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The first reaction is;

NO(g) + 1/2O2(g) ---->NO2(g)

K= [NO2]/[NO] [ O2]^1/2

The second reaction is;

2NO(g) + O2(g) ---->2NO2(g)

K'= [NO2]^2/[NO]^2 [O2]

It now follows that;

K'= K^2

Hence the statement in the question is false

A student writes the following explanation of how certain molecules are formed.A process is used to chemically link smaller unit

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.

What occurs when a neutron strikes a stable isotope and causes it to become unstable? A. Energy to mass conversion

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Why some elements are radioactive (unstable). When the atoms of an element have extra neutrons or protons it creates extra energy in the nucleus and causes the atom to become unbalanced or unstable. Whether radioactive elements can become stable and if so, how. The unstable nucleus of radioactive atoms emit radiation.

Explanation:

hope this helps
