svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Metals:

Copper: to make cooking utensils such as pots because it has a high heat conductivity.

Aluminium: to make aluminium foil / soda cans because it is malleable

Mercury: fills up thermometers because it can indicate the temperature when it expands. But it is toxic so fewer people are using mercury thermometers now.

Titanium: to make the body of supersonic aircrafts because it is strong and corrosion resistant

Gold: to make jewelry because it is shiny and also corrosion resistant

Non-metals:

Nitrogen: to fill up chip packages because its molecules are unreactive

Helium: to fill up balloons because it is lightweight

Hydrogen: for generating electricity in hydrogen fuel cells. It is environmentally-friendly because it does not produce any greenhouse gas or toxic pollutants.

Fluorine: added in toothpaste for strengthening the teeth. It can also prevent cavities.

Carbon: the graphite in pencils. this is one form of carbon. Other common forms (allotropes) of carbon include diamond and Buckminsterfullerene (buckyball).

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of molecules

Explanation:

According to Avogadro Law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

This law state that volume and number of moles of gas have direct relation.

When the amount of gas increases its volume will increase and when the amount of gas decreases its volume will decrease.

Mathematical relation:

V ∝ n

V/n = K

K is proportionality constant.

When number of moles change from n₁ to n₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂

expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = K , V₂/n₂ = K

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

In atmospheric chemistry, the following chemical reaction converts SO2, the predominant oxide of sulfur that comes from combusti

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information;

The chemical reaction can be well presented as follows:

$\mathtt{SO_{2(g)} + \dfrac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} }$ ⇄ $\mathtt{3SO_{2(l)}}$

Now, K is known to be the equilibrium constant and it can be represented in terms of each constituent activity:

i.e

$K = \dfrac{a_{so_3}}{a_{so_2} a_{o_2}^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

However, since we are dealing with liquids solutions;

$K = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{Pso_2}{P^0}\Big ( \dfrac{Po_2}{P^0} \Big)^{1/2}}$ since the activity of $a_{so_3}$ is equivalent to 1

Hence, under standard conditions(i.e at a pressure of 1 bar)

$K = \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}$

(b)

From the CRC Handbook, we are meant to determine the value of the Gibb free energy by applying the formula:

$\Delta _{rxn} G^o = \sum \Delta_f \ G^o (products) - \sum \Delta_fG^o (reactants) \\ \\ = (1) (-368 \ kJ/mol) - (\dfrac{1}{2}) (0) - ((1) (-300.13 \ kJ/mol)) \\ \\ = -368 \ kJ/mol + 300.13 \ kJ/mol \\ \\ \simeq -68 \ kJ/mol$

Thus, for this reaction; the Gibbs frree energy = -68 kJ/mol

(c)

Le's recall that:

At equilibrium, the instantaneous free energy is usually zero &

Q(reaction quotient) is equivalent to K(equilibrium constant)

So;

$\mathtt{\Delta _{rxn} G = \Delta _{rxn} G^o + RT In Q}$

$\mathtt{0- \Delta _{rxn} G^o = RTIn K } \\ \\ \mathtt{ \Delta _{rxn} G^o = -RTIn K } \\ \\ K = e^{\dfrac{\Delta_{rxn} G^o}{RT}} \\ \\ K = e^{^{\dfrac{67900 \ J/mol}{8.314 \ J/mol \times 298 \ K}} }$

$K =7.98390356\times 10^{11} \\ \\ \mathbf{K = 7.98 \times 10^{11}}$

(d)

The direction by which the reaction will proceed can be determined if we can know the value of Q(reaction quotient).

This is because;

If Q < K, then the reaction will proceed in the right direction towards the products.

However, if Q > K , then the reaction goes to the left direction. i.e to the reactants.

So;

$Q= \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}$

Since we are dealing with liquids;

$Q= \dfrac{1}{1 \times 1^{1/2}}$

Q = 1

Since Q < K; Then, the reaction proceeds in the right direction.

Hence, SO2 as well O2 will combine to yield SO3, then condensation will take place to form liquid.

Write the balanced nuclear equation for β− decay of silicon−32. Include both the mass numbers and the atomic numbers with each n

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$^{32}_{14}Si\rightarrow ^{32}_{15}P+e^-+\bar{v}_e$

Explanation:

Beta decay conserves the lepton number. In $\beta^-$ decay, the atomic number of the element increases which is accompanied by the release of an electron antineutrino, $e^-+\bar{v}_e$ .

For example:-

$^A_ZX\rightarrow ^A_{Z+1}X+e^-+\bar{v}_e$

The $\beta^-$ decay of silicon-32 is shown below as:-

$^{32}_{14}Si\rightarrow ^{32}_{15}P+e^-+\bar{v}_e$
