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

Determine the oxidation number of each element in these compounds or ions. (a) au2(seo4)3 (gold(iii) selenate) au = se = o = (b)

Stels [109]

Au₂(SeO₄)₃

O = -2 × 4 = -8
Se = + 6
So,
(+6 - 8) = -2

Means (SeO₄) contains -2 charge, Now multiply -2 by 3

-2 ₓ 3 = -6
Means,
Au₂ + (-6) = 0

Au₂ = +6
Or,
Au = 6 / 2

Au = +3
Result:
Au = +3
Se = +6
O = -2

Ni(CN)₂

Cyanide (CN⁻) contains -1 charge,
So,
N = -3
C = +2
Then,
Ni + (-1)₂ = 0

Ni - 2 = 0
Or,
Ni = +2
Result:
N = -3
C = +2
Ni = +2

What are the differences between thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics? Give examples and draw a simple diagram to show what

Olenka [21]

on the basis of the reaction of heat in plastic , their are two types of plastics : 

<h2>Thermoplastic & Thermosetting plastics </h2>

Thermoplastics : Plastics which easily get deformed (become soft )on heating and also get bend easily are known as thermoplastics .

examples : polythene , polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene .

thermosetting plastics : plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics .

examples : bakelite , melamine and formica
