This is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. 

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>

Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form hydrogen chloride (HCl (g), mc012-1.jpgHf = –92.3 kJ/mol) according to the reaction below.
Kobotan [32]

<u>Given:</u>

H2(g) + Cl2 (g) → 2HCl (g)

<u>To determine:</u>

The enthalpy of the reaction and whether it is endo or exothermic

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy of a reaction is given by the difference between the enthalpy of formation of reactants and products

ΔH = ∑nHf (products) - ∑nHf (reactants)

      = [2Hf(HCl)] - [Hf(H2) + Hf(Cl2)] = 2 (-92.3) kJ = - 184.6 kJ

Since the reaction enthalpy is negative, the reaction is exothermic

<u>Ans:</u> The enthalpy of reaction is -184. kJ and the reaction is exothermic

The energy required to ionize boron is 801 kJ/mol. You may want to reference (Pages 93 - 98) Section 2.5 while completing this p
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The frequency is  f =  2,01 * 10^{15} \  Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The energy required to ionize boron is E_b  =  801 KJ/mol

Generally the ionization energy of boron pre atom is mathematically represented as

     E_a  =  \frac{E_b}{N_A}

Here  N_A is the Avogadro's constant with value N_A  =  6.022*10^{23}

So

      E_a  =  \frac{801}{6.022*10^{23}}

=>     E_a  =  1.330 *10^{-18} \  J/atom

Generally the energy required to liberate one electron from an atom is equivalent to the ionization energy per atom and this mathematically represented as

       E =  hf  =  E_a

=>     hf  =  E_a

Here h is the Planks constant with value h = 6.626 *10^{-34}

So

       f =  \frac{1.330 *10^{-18}}{ 6.626 *10^{-34}}

=>      f =  2,01 * 10^{15} \  Hz
