How does the kinetic molecular theory explain the behavior of gases?

1 answer:

5 0

Kinetic Molecular Theory states that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions. Kinetic Molecular Theory can be used to explainboth Charles' and Boyle's Laws. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gasparticles is directly proportional to absolute temperature only.

. how many lone pairs of electrons are present in the lewis structure of calcium sulfide?

miv72 [106K]

Answer:
Four

Explanation:
Calcium Sulfide is an ionic compound made up of Ca²⁺ and S²⁻.
Ca²⁺ is formed as,

Ca → Ca²⁺ + 2 e⁻

These two electrons are accepte by Sulfur as,

S + 2 e⁻ → S²⁻

So, before accepting 2 electrons S was having six valence electrons, after accepting two electrons from Ca it has 8 electrons which are present in four pairs as shown below,

A process at constant T and P can be described as spontaneous if ΔG < 0 and nonspontaneous if ΔG > 0. Over what range of t

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Incomplete question, it is lacking the data it makes reference. The missing data from Chegg is:

2 SO3(g) → 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)

ΔHf° (kJ mol-1) -395.7 -296.8

S° (J K-1 mol-1) 256.8 248.2 205.1

ΔH° = kJ

S° = J K⁻¹

Explanation:

The method to solve this problem calls for the use of the Gibbs standard free energy change:

ΔG = ΔrxnH - TΔSrxn

We know a reaction is spontaneous when ΔG is < 0, so to answer this question we need to solve for the temperature, T, at which ΔG becomes negative.

Now as mentioned in the hint, we need to determine ΔrxnH and ΔSrxn, which are given by

ΔrxnH = ∑ ν x ΔfHº products - ∑ ν x ΔfHº reactants

where ν is the stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.

For ΔS we have likewise

ΔrxnS = ∑ ν x ΔSº products - ∑ ν x ΔSº reactants

Thus,

ΔrxnH(kJmol⁻¹) = 2 x (-296.8) - 2 x ( -395.7 ) = 197.8 kJ

ΔrxnS ( JK⁻¹) = 2 x 248.2 + 205.1 - 2 x 256.8 = 187.9 JK⁻¹ = 0.1879 kJK⁻¹

So ΔG kJ = 197.8 - T(0.1879)

and the reaction will become spontaneous when the term T(0.1879) becomes greater that 197.8,

0 = 197.8 - 0.1879 T ⇒ T = 1052 K

so the reaction is spontaneous at temperatures greater than 1052 K (780 ºC)
