Calculate the maximum amount of useful work that can be obtained and comment on the spontaneity for the reaction at 25C :

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

$1.41 *10^{3} kJ/mol$

Explanation:

First, we find in the tables the ΔH of formation of each compound. As you can see in the (image 1)

Then we solve the ecuation for ΔH°reaction

ΔH°reaction=∑ΔH°f(products)−∑ΔH°f(Reactants)

ΔH°reaction= (-2* 393.5 - 2*285.8) - (52.4 + 0) kJ/mol

ΔH°reaction = -1.41 *10^3 kJ/mol

Consider the following chemical reaction:

laiz [17]

Answer:

B. 1.65 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 SO₃(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles of SO₂

The pressure of the gas is 1.20 atm and the temperature 25 °C (298 K). We can calculate the moles using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 1.20 atm × 1.50 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K = 0.0736 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of SO₃ produced

0.0736 mol SO₂ × 2 mol SO₃/2 mol SO₂ = 0.0736 mol SO₃

Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0736 moles of SO₃ at STP

At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L.

0.0736 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.65 L

Give the formula for an ionic compound formed from each pair of ions

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Please, find the complete question in the picture attached.

Answer:

1. Na₂O

2. AlF₃

3. MgO

4. Ca₃P₂

Explanation:

1. Na⁺ and O²⁻

An ionic compound will be formed when two ions of opposite charge attract each other.

The positive ion is called cation and the negative ion is called anion.

Thus, every ionic compound has a cation and an anion electrostatically bonded.

The ions must combine in a proportion that genders a neutral compound: so you must have as many cations as negative charge has one anion and as many anions as positive charge has one cation.

This is, if the cation has charge +x, there will be x anions, and if the anion has charge -y, there will be y cations.

Simbolically:

$Cation:A^{+x}\\ \\ Anion:B^{-y}\\ \\ Compound:A_yB_x$

As you see, the subscripts for each element in the chemical formula are obtained by the exchage of the charges of the ions.

Then, for Na⁺ and O²⁻, the subscript for Na will be 2 and the subscript for O will be 1; and the formula of the ionic compound formed by this pair ot ions is:

Na₂O

2. Al³⁺ and F⁻

The subscript of Al will be 1 (because the F ion has charge 1-, and the subscript of F will be 3 (because the Al ion has charge +3).

Thus the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

AlF₃

3. Mg²⁺ and S²⁻

The charge 2+ from Mg atom wil become the subscript 2 of S atom, and the charge 2- will become the subscript 2 of Mg atom:

That results in the formula: Mg₂S₂

Except for some special compounds, the chemical formula is simplified, dividing by the least common denominator. In this case, that means that the two 2 subscripts are simplified to 1, and the final chemical formula for the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

MgO

4. Ca²⁺ and P³⁻

The charge 2+ from Ca will become subscript 2 for P and the charge 3- whill become subscript 3 for Ca.

Hence, the ionic compound formed by these two ions is:

Ca₃P₂

A kilobyte is 210. A megabyte is 220 bytes. How many kilobytes are in a megabyte? Use the exponent rule for division to find you

Sedaia [141]

<span>a kilobyte is 2^10 bytes
and you're converting 1 megabyte to kilobyte.

converting units that you learned in science class (1 megabyte / 1) * (2^20 bytes / 1 megabyte) * (1 kilobyte / 2^10 bytes)

megabyte and bytes cancels out and you're left with 2^20 kilobyte / 2^10 = 2^10 kilobyte
</span>
hope this helps
