Silver chloride breaks down to form silver and chlorine in the presence of light. What type of reaction is this?

Calculate ΔH o rxn for the following: CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CCl4(l) + HCl(g)[unbalanced] ΔH o f [CH4(g)] = −74.87 kJ/mol ΔH o f [CCl

anzhelika [568]

Answer: ΔH for the reaction is -277.4 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$CH_4(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow CCl_4(l)+HCl(g)$

The expression for enthalpy change is,

$\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H(products)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H(reactant)]$

$\Delta H=[(n_{CCl_4}\times \Delta H_{CCl_4})+(n_{HCl}\times B.E_{HCl}) ]-[(n_{CH_4}\times \Delta H_{CH_4})+n_{Cl_2}\times \Delta H_{Cl_2}]$

where,

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$\Delta H=[(1\times -139)+(1\times -92.31) ]-[(1\times -74.87)+(1\times 121.0]$

$\Delta H=-277.4kJ$

Therefore, the enthalpy change for this reaction is, -277.4 kJ

The naturally occurring radioactive decay series that begins with 23592U stops with formation of the stable 20782Pb nucleus. The

dsp73

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e$

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e$

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

The enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of ice at -50.0 ∘c to water at 60.0∘c is ________ kj. the specific heats of ice, wat

guajiro [1.7K]

First, we have to get:

1- The heat required to increase T of ice from -50 to 0 °C:

according to q formula:

q1 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of ice = mol * molar mass

= 1 mol * 18 mol/g

= 18 g

and C is the specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 J/g-K

and ΔT change in temperature = 0- (-50) = 50°C

by substitution:

∴q1 = 18 g * 2.09 J/g-K *50°C

= 1881 J = 1.881 KJ

2- the heat required to melt this mass of ice is :

q2 = n*ΔHfus

when n is the number of moles of ice = 1 mol

and ΔHfus = 6.01 KJ/mol

by substitution:

q2 = 1 mol * 6.01 KJ/mol

= 6.01 KJ

3- the heat required to increase the water temperature from 0°C to 60 °C is:

q3 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of water = 18 g

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g-K

ΔT is the change of Temperature of water = 60°C - 0°C = 60°C

by substitution:

∴q3 = 18 g * 4.18 J/g-K * 60°C

= 4514 J = 4.514 KJ

∴the total change of enthalpy = q1+q2+q3

= 1.881 KJ +6.01 KJ + 4.514 KJ

= 12.405 KJ

When studying atoms, scientists can ignore the

vekshin1

When studying atoms, scientists can ignore <u>the Gravitational</u> force between charged particles that make up the atoms because it is many millions of times smaller than other forces in the atom.

Explanation:

Scientists can ignore the gravitational force because the gravitational force is considered to be negligible as compared to the other forces due to its smaller value.We all know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object which result in a small force value.When the value of this small force is compared to the value of the electrical force between protons and electrons in atoms the we can say that the electrical force is million times stronger than the gravitational force

Thus we can say that scientists can ignore <u>the Gravitational</u> force between charged particles that make up the atoms because it is many millions of times smaller than other forces in the atom.
