Lord Kelvin, were he alive today, would be considered a Thermochemist. Thermochemistry is interested in the role of heat in chemical reactions. This includes the role of heat both as a biproduct of chemical reactions and a facilitator.

Kelvin's description of absolute zero is an important concept in thermochemistry. At absolute zero, there is no movement of molecules, and no energy available facilitate chemical reactions.

1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of magnesium phosphide from its elements, including the word “energy”
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy

Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2

Explanation:

The equation for the formation of magnesium phosphide from its elements is;

3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy

Hence we can see that three moles of magnesium atoms combines with two moles of phosphorus atoms to yield one mole of magnesium phosphide. The equation written above is the balanced chemical reaction equation for the formation of the magnesium phosphide.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction K(eq) will be given by;

Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2

Which of the following is true of evaporation? A. It is considered a cooling process and it raises the average kinetic energy of
True [87]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

C. It is considered a cooling process and it lowers the average kinetic energy of the liquid because the higher energy molecules turn to vapor.

Moreso, evaporation does not increase the average kinetic energy because it is a surface phenomenon. Also, as molecules excape at a fast moving rate, the left over molecules have a lower kinetic energy and this consequently decreases the temperature of the liquid.

When molecules absorbs heat, the evaporate and this phenomental process provides cooling in the system

Explain the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanos
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.

Use coulomb's law to calculate the ionization energy in kj/mol of an atom composed of a proton and an electron separated by 185.
Tems11 [23]
Coulomb's law mathematically is:
F = kQ₁Q₂/r²
we integrate this with respect to distance to obtain the expression for energy:
E = kQ₁Q₂/r; where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹; Q are the charges, r is the seperation
Charge on proton = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
E = (9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) / (185 x 10⁻¹²)
E = 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸ Joules per proton/electron pair
Number of pairs in one mole = 6.02 x 10²³
Energy = 6.02 x 10²³ x 1.24 x 10⁻¹⁸
= 746.5 kJ
