In the case of Zn, it is likely eligible for one charge, as its 3d is full, it can lose the electrons from the 4s2 level that it does to become Zn2+.

Iron has 6 electrons in the 3d energy level, which signifies that it would give up 6+2 to get to the next stable energy level. It is much convenient for it to give up the 4s2 and then one more out of the 3d6 to produce Fe2+ and Fe3+ respectively.  

Sodium has one electron to give away in the 3s energy level, as soon as it gives its one electron, it will look like Ne. In silver, the 4d10 energy level is full, it can only give up the 5s1 electron easily.  

In the case of cobalt, the electrons can be taken from the 4s2 energy level and then one more out of the 3d7 energy level, and after that more and more again. Thus, it can go from +5 to -1 charge, due to much more happening in the 3d7 energy level.  

Therefore, cobalt can likely form ions with multiple charges.

How does the appearance of a substance change when it<br> changes phase?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Melting: the substance changes back from the solid to the liquid. Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid. Vaporization: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ?H during the following reaction: Fe (s) + 2HCl (g) ? FeCl2 (s) + H2 (g) =?H?157.kJ Use t
erik [133]

Correct Question:

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ΔH during the following reaction: Fe(s) + 2HCl(g)-->FeCl2(s) + H2 ΔH=-157.0 kJ. Use this information to complete the table below. Round each of your answers to the nearest kJ/mol

Answer:

-314 kJ

+628 kJ

+157 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of a reaction measures the amount of heat that is lost or gained by it. If ΔH >0 the heat is gained, and the reaction is called endothermic, if ΔH<0, the heat is lost, and the reaction is called exothermic.

If the reaction is inverted, the value of ΔH is inverted too (the opposite endothermic reaction is exothermic), and if the reaction is multiplied by a constant, ΔH will be multiplied by it too.

1) 2Fe(s) + 4HCl --> 2FeCl2(s) + 2H2(g)

This reaction is the product of the given reaction by 2, so

ΔH = 2*(-157) = -314 kJ

2) 4FeCl2(s) + 4H2(g) --> 4Fe(s) + 8HCl(g)

This reaction is the inverted reaction given multiplied by 4, so

ΔH = 4*(157) = +628 kJ

3) FeCl2(s) + H2(g) --> Fe(s) + 2HCl

This reaction is the inverted reaction given, so

ΔH = +157 kJ

Your apple juice has a molarity of 3.4 M and a volume of 0.895 litres. What does a student have to do to decrease the molarity t
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

4.285 L of water must be added.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for this dilution-like problems, we need to figure out the final volume of the resulting solution so that we would be able to obtain the correct volume of diluent (water) to be added. In such a way, we can obtain the final volume, V2, as shown below:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}

Thus, by plugging in the initial molarity, initial volume and final molarity (0.587 M) we obtain:

V_2=\frac{3.4M*0.895 L}{0.587M}\\\\V_2=5.18L

It means we need to add:

V_{H_2O} ^{added}=5.18L-0.895L=4.285L

Of diluent water.

Regards!
