Explain why groups 14 and 15 are better representatives of mixed groups than groups 13 and 16

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brrunno [24]4 years ago
3 0
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Groups 14 and 15 each contain metals, nonmetals, and metalloids while Group 13 contains metals and a metalloid, and Group 16 contains metalloids and nonmetals.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Groups 13–16 of the periodic table contain one or more metalloids, in addition to metals, nonmetals, or both.
  • Unlike other groups of the periodic table, which contain elements in one class, groups 13–16 referred to as mixed groups contain elements in at least two different classes. In addition to metalloids, they also contain metals, nonmetals, or both.
  • <em><u>Group 14 also known as the carbon group contains carbon which is a non metal, silicon and germanium which are metalloids and tin and lead which are metals.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Group 15 also known as the Nitrogen group contains non metals such as oxygen, metalloid tellurium and a metal polonium.</u></em>

At 298 K, what is the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for the following reaction?
9966 [12]

Answer:

(a). The Gibbs free energy change is 2.895 kJ and its positive.

(b). The Gibbs free energy change is 34.59 J/mole

(c). The pressure is 14924 atm.

(d). The Gibbs free energy of diamond relative to graphite is 4912 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 298 K

Suppose, density of graphite is 2.25 g/cm³ and density of diamond is 3.51 g/cm³.

\Delta H\ for\ diamond = 1.897 kJ/mol

\Delta H\ for\ graphite = 0 kJ/mol

\Delta S\ for\ diamond = 2.38 J/(K mol)

\Delta S\ for\ graphite = 5.73 J/(K mol)

(a) We need to calculate the value of \Delta G for diamond

Using formula of Gibbs free energy change

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

Put the value into the formula

\Delta G= (1897-0)-298\times(2.38-5.73)

\Delta G=2895.3

\Delta G=2.895\ kJ

The Gibbs free energy  change is positive.

(b). When it is compressed isothermally from 1 atm to 1000 atm

We need to calculate the change of Gibbs free energy of diamond

Using formula of gibbs free energy

\Delta S=V\times\Delta P

\Delta S=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\times\Delta P

Put the value into the formula

\Delta S=\dfrac{12\times10^{-6}}{3.51}\times999\times10130

\Delta S=34.59\ J/mole

(c). Assuming that graphite and diamond are incompressible

We need to calculate the pressure

Using formula of Gibbs free energy

\beta= \Delta G_{g}+\Delta G+\Delta G_{d}

\beta=V(-\Delta P_{g})+\Delta G+V\Delta P_{d}

\beta=\Delta P(V_{d}-V_{g})+\Delta G

Put the value into the formula

0=\Delta P(\dfrac{12\times10^{-6}}{3.51}-\dfrac{12\times10^{-6}}{2.25})\times10130+2895.3

0=-0.0194\Delta P+2895.3

\Delta P=\dfrac{2895.3}{0.0194}

\Delta P=14924\ atm

(d). Here, C_{p}=0

So, The value of \Delta H and \Delta S at 900 k will be equal at 298 K

We need to calculate the Gibbs free energy of diamond relative to graphite

Using formula of Gibbs free energy

\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S

Put the value into the formula

\Delta G=(1897-0)-900\times(2.38-5.73)

\Delta G=4912\ J

Hence, (a). The Gibbs free energy change is 2.895 kJ and its positive.

(b). The Gibbs free energy change is 34.59 J/mole

(c). The pressure is 14924 atm.

(d). The Gibbs free energy of diamond relative to graphite is 4912 J.

A sample of gas in a sealed container (fixed volume) is heated from room temperature to 80.0°C.
inna [77]
Hello!

A) When the temperature inside the container increases, the pressure inside the container increases as well. 

An example for that is when you have an aerosol can and start heating it. The pressure of the gas inside the aerosol can will start to increase, and that would lead to the exploding of the can if heating is kept for too long. Bombs work on this principle too: The heat from the violent chemical reaction inside the closed compartment increase the pressure of the gases until the fragments are ejected at high velocities. 

B) The effect of temperature on the pressure of a gas illustrates Gay-Lussac's Law.

This law was formulated by the famous French chemist that gives it its name. It relates the expansion of a gas with the increase in temperature when the volume is left constant. The Gay-Lussac's Law can be expressed as follows, for the case of this exercise:

\frac{P1}{T1}= \frac{P2}{T2} \\ \\ P2= \frac{P1}{T1}*T2=P1* \frac{80 degC}{25degC}= P1*3,2

You can see that the factor that is multiplying P1 is higher than 1 for the case of heating from 25 °C to 80 °C, so the pressure will increase.

C) At a molecular level, when the temperature is raised the kinetic energy of the molecules inside the container will increase. This increase in the kinetic energy will cause the molecules to move faster, and to hit the walls of the container more often. This causes an increase in the pressure inside the container because there more hits means more force on the walls of the container, and that is the definition of pressure. 

Have a nice day!

Consider the formula for glucose: C6H12O6. What does this indicate about the relationship of the reactants to glucose?
stellarik [79]

The correct option is D.

The reactants that combine together to form glucose are carbon dioxide, water and energy from the sun. Six molecules of carbon dioxide combine with six molecules of water in the presence of sunlight to form glucose. The chemical equation for the reaction is given below"

6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight = C6H12O6.
