Solnce55 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃    exothermic

B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g)    exothermic

C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) endothermic

D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) exothermic

Explanation:

The question says predict not calculate. So you have to use your chemistry knowledge, experience and intuition.

A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃    is exothermic because the Haber process gives out energy

B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g)    is exothermic because it is a combustion. The majority, if not all, combustion give out energy.

C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) is endothermic because it is the reverse reaction of the combustion of hydrogen. If the reverse reaction is exothermic then the forward reaction is endothermic  

D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) is exothermic because the backward reaction is endothermic. Atomisation is always an endothermic reaction so the forward reaction is exothermic

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

_5_ AsO2−(aq) + 3 Mn2+(aq) + _2_ H2O(l) → _5_ As(s) + _3_ MnO4−(aq) + _4_ H+(aq)

Explanation:

Step 1:

The unbalanced equation:

AsO2−(aq) + 3 Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)

Step 2:

Balancing the equation.

AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)

The above equation can be balanced as follow:

There are 3 atoms of Mn on the left side of the equation and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of MnO4− as shown below:

AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)

There are 12 atoms of O on the right side and a total of 3 atoms on the left side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of AsO2− and 2 in front of H2O as shown below:

5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)

There are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of H+ as shown below:

5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + 4H+(aq)

There are 5 atoms of As on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of As as shown below:

5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → 5As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + 4H+(aq)

Now the equation is balanced

stearic acid and linoleic acid stearic acid and linoleic acid stearic acid has the higher melting point, because it has two more
elena55 [62]

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

\text { Myristic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{12} \mathrm{COOH} \\& \text { Palmitic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{14} \mathrm{COOH} \\

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

Giving it a greater surface area and therefore more intermolecular  van der waals interact than the myristic acid.

stearic arid \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16} \mathrm{COOH}

linoleic acid \mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{32} \mathrm{O}_2 (two double bond)

Stearic acid has higher Melting point, because it does not have any Carbon-Carbon double bonds, whereas linoleic acid has two cis double bonds which prevent the molecules from packing closely together.

Oleic Acid and Linoleic acid.

\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{34} \mathrm{O}_2-one double bond (cis)

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.
