Answer:

the reason why Mars is red is because of its regolith, or surface material, contains lots of iron oxide — the same compound that gives blood and rust their hue

The ideal gas heat capacity of nitrogen varies with temperature. It is given by:

hammer [34]

Answer:

A) 1059 J/mol

B) 17,920 J/mol

Explanation:

Given that:

Cp = 29.42 - (2.170*10^-3 ) T + (0.0582*10^-5 ) T2 + (1.305*10^-8 ) T3 – (0.823*10^-11) T4

R (constant) = 8.314

We know that:

$C_p=C_v+R$

We can determine $C_v$ from above if we make $C_v$ the subject of the formula as:

$C_v$ $=C_p-R$

$C_V = 29.42-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4-8.314$

$C_V = 21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4$

A).

The formula for calculating change in internal energy is given as:

$dU=C_vdT$

If we integrate above data into the equation; it implies that:

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T+(5.82*10^{-7})T2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4\,) du$

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T/1+(5.82*10^{-7})T2/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1= 1059J/mol$

Hence, the internal energy that must be added to nitrogen in order to increase its temperature from 450 to 500 K = 1059 J/mol.

B).

If we repeat part A for an initial temperature of 273 K and final temperature of 1073 K.

then T = 273 K & T2 = 1073 K

∴

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})T/1+(5.82*10^{-7})T2/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1=\int\limits^{500}_{450}(21.106-(2.7*10^{-3})273/1+(5.82*10^{-7})1073/2-(1.305*10^{-8})T3/3-(8.23*10^{-12})T4/4\,)$

$U2-U1= 17,920 J/mol$

True or false the si in sih4 does not follow the octet rule because hydrogen is in an unusual oxidation stat

ExtremeBDS [4]

The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.

Na2CrO4 + PbCL2<br> Formula in double replacement

Marta_Voda [28]

Na₂CrO₄ + PbCl₂ → PbCrO₄ + 2 NaCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a double displacement reaction, the reactants which are involved in the reaction exchanging their ions thereby produces 2 new compounds. Here sodium chromate and lead chloride are undergoing double displacement reaction, the ions exchanges their position there by forming sodium chloride and lead chromate. So the double displacement reaction is given as,

Na₂CrO₄ + PbCl₂ → PbCrO₄ + 2 NaCl
