Why is there Roman numerals (II) in copper(II) chloride, but no (III) in Aluminum chloride?

This is because copper is a transition metals.

Transition metals don't have a definite charge, you can see this on the periodic table. However, Alkali Earth, Alkali, Metalloids, Non-metals, Halogens, Noble Gases, etc, all have a specified charge.

Although, there are exceptions: Zinc, Gold, and Cadmium.

Aluminum is a poor metal, but it has it's own charge (3+).

Therefore, Copper has roman numerals due to the fact that it's a transition metal and Aluminum is a poor metal.

Hope this helps!

There are Roman numerals in Copper Chloride because those elements are transitional metals. Aluminum is a metal. Elements that are metals and non-metals don’t use Roman numerals, but elements that are transitional metals such as Copper(II) Chloride must use Roman numerals.

A 1.800-g sample of solid phenol (C6H5OH(s)) was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/?C. The temp

vichka [17]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation:

$C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)$

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 32.454 kJ/g

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 3,050 kJ/mol

Explanation:

$C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)$

Heat capacity of calorimeter = C = 11.66 kJ/°C

Initial temperature of the calorimeter = $T_1= 21.36^oC$

Final temperature of the calorimeter = $T_2= 26.37^oC$

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = Q

$Q=C\times \Delta T$

Heat released during reaction = Q'

Q' = -Q ( law of conservation of energy)

Energy released on combustion of 1.800 grams of phenol = Q' = -(58.4166 kJ)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

$\frac{Q'}{1.800 g}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ}{1.800 g}=32.454 kJ/g$

Molar mass of phenol = 94 g/mol

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

$\frac{Q'}{\frac{1.800 g}{94 g/mol}}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ\times 94 g/mol}{1.800 g}=3,050 kJ/mol$

When chemicals react with each other which factors decide that a successful reaction has taken place ?

Elodia [21]

The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:

nature of the reactant - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently. For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
surface area- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
temperature of reaction- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
concentration- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
presence of a catalyst- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃
