Pretend that you are the size of an atom, observing a reaction between a potassium atom and a fluorine atom. Write an account of

the formation of an ionic bond as the atoms react. Tell what happens to the valence electrons on each atom and how each atom is changed by losing or gaining electrons.

 <span>Each atom in an ionic compound tends either to empty or complete the shell to 8 electrons. So when the number of electrons on the external shell is near 8 , the atom tends to attract electrons to complete the shell giving a positive ion called anion 
Conversely when the number of electrons is small the atom gives these electrons to form a positive ion called a cation</span>

1. Show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature in any isolated system (hint: use entropy change
Inga [223]

Answer:

1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Explanation:

<u>1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature </u>

example :

Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )

Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment

Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )

Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

<u>2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide </u>

2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

Δs = positive

there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C

hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg  -  S⁻ HgO =

Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ

Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k

hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

An aqueous solution contains 0.100 m naoh at 25.0 °c. the ph of the solution is ________.
ikadub [295]
Recall; pH + pOH = 14
In this case [OH-] =0.100 m
therefore;
pOH = -LOG[OH-]
         = - Log (0.100)
         = 1.00
 Therefore; the pOH is 1.00
And since, pH +pOH = 14
Then pH = 14-pOH
                = 14 -1
                 = 13
Thus the pH is 13.00

Arrange the following molecules according to the strength of their dispersion forces. Organize in order from largest to smallest
ki77a [65]

Explanation:

The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.

Therefore, more is the surface area occupied by the carbon chain more will be the dispersion forces present in it. Hence, less is the surface area occupied by a molecule less will be the dispersion forces present in it.  

Hence, the given molecules are organized from largest to smallest dispersion forces as follows.

CH_{3}CH(CH_{3})C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3} > CH_{3}CH_{2}(CH_{2})_{4}CH_{2}CH_{3} > CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3} > CH_{3}C(CH_{3})2CH_{3} > CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3} > CH4
