The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is composed of only one kind of atom while a compound is composed of at least 2 kinds of atoms. The properties of an element and the compound the atoms has to form are different physically and chemically.Example of element are O and H, while compound examples are H2O and H2O2.

Atomic weight of gold is 197.2 ami<br> Calculate no of gram atoms in 7.5g of gold
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The atomic weight is numerically equivalent to the molar mass.
therefore molar mass of gold is - 197.2 g/mol
avagadros number states that 1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10²³ units. These units could be atoms making up elements or molecules making up compounds. 
1 mol of gold is made of 6.022 x 10²³  atoms of gold
since 1 mol weighs 197.2 g 
therefore if 197.2 g of gold contains - 6.022 x 10²³  atoms of gold
then 7.5 g contains - 6.022 x 10²³  x 7.5/ 197.2 = 2.29 x 10²² atoms of gold 
answer is 2.29 x 10²² atoms of gold

The reaction P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal is exothermic. True False
Nitella [24]

Answer: The correct answer is true.

Explanation:

There are two types of reactions based on the heat absorbed or released:

1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, heat is released. The energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants. The \Delta H for these reactions is negative.

2. Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, heat is absorbed by the reactants. The energy of the products is more than the energy of the reactants. The \Delta H for these reactions is positive.

In the given equation:

P_4+5O_2\rightarrow P_4O_{10}+712kCal

The energy is written on the product side, which means that the heat is released in the reaction. Hence, the given equation is a exothermic reaction.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

In nature, one common strategy to make thermodynamically unfavorable reactions proceed is to couple them chemically to reactions
padilas [110]

Answer:

\triangle G= -6.7 KJ/mol

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Chemical Reactions:

X=A⇌B,ΔG= 14.8 kJ/mol

Y=B⇌C,ΔG= -29.7 kJ/mol

Z=C⇌D,ΔG= 8.10 kJ/mol

Since

Hess Law

The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is independent of the number of steps taken.

Therefore

Generally the equation for the Reaction is mathematically given by

T = +1 * X +1 * Y +1 *Z

Therefore the free energy, ΔG is

\triangle G=1 * \triangle G*X +1 * \triangle G*Y +1 * \triangle G *Z

\triangle G= +1 * (14.9) +1 * (-29.7) +1 * (8.10)

\triangle G= -6.7 KJ/mol
