1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer is B. false or mistaken idea often based on illogical or invalid reasoning and facts. This includes things like generalizing when making claims, or things like the ad hominem fallacy where you try to refute one's argument by attacking the person and no the argument. There are numerous different fallacies and avoiding them is the key to making a sound argument when trying to prove something.

What is an octet of electrons? Which elements contain an octet of electrons?

8090 [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Octet, in chemistry, the eight-electron arrangement in the outer electron shell of the noble-gas atoms. This structure is held responsible for the relative inertness of the noble gases and the chemical behaviour of certain other elements.

Below are the steps of the engineering process (not necessarily in order): 1) Know the background 2) Do the work 3) Make a plan

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

4 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 - 5

Explanation:

During an engineering process, first, we need to identify the problem, or the need because the process only will occur because of some need. Then, it's necessary to know as much as possible about the problem and the things that already exist or already were tested to solve it. Knowing the background will make the work easy.

After that, it's necessary to plan the things we'll do, knowing the costs, the time needed for activities, how many people will be necessary for each step, etc. It's really important to make a plan. Then, do the work, following the plan. Thus, the process must be tested. During the test of the results, some problems must be found, so it's time to evaluate and redesign the process, to solve these problems found.

Given these reactions, where X represents a generic metal or metalloid 1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O(g)ΔH1=−241.8 kJ 1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O

Bond [772]

Answer:

ΔH = -793,6 kJ

Explanation:

It is possible to obtain ΔH of this reaction using Hess's law that says you can sum the half-reactions ΔH to obtain the ΔH of the global reaction:

If half-reactions are:

1) H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) ⟶ H₂O(g) ΔH₁ = −241.8 kJ

2) X(s) + 2Cl₂(g) ⟶ XCl₄(s) ΔH₂ = +356.9 kJ

3) ¹/₂H₂(g) + ¹/₂Cl₂(g) ⟶ HCl(g) ΔH₃ = −92.3 kJ

4) X(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ XO₂(s) ΔH₄ = −639.1 kJ

5) H₂O(g) ⟶ H₂O(l) ΔH₅ = −44.0 kJ

The sum of (4) + 4×(3) - (2) - 2×(1) - 2×(5) is:

(4) X(s) + O₂(g) ⟶ XO₂(s) ΔH = −639.1 kJ

+4×(3) 2H₂(g) + 2Cl₂(g) ⟶ 4HCl(g) ΔH = −369,2 kJ

-(2) XCl₄(s) ⟶ X(s) + 2Cl₂(g) ΔH = -356,9 kJ

-2×(1) 2H₂O(g) ⟶ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ΔH = +483,6 kJ

-2×(5) 2H₂O(l) ⟶ 2H₂O(g) ΔH = +88.0 kJ

= XCl₄(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⟶ XO₂(s) + 4HCl(g)

Where ΔH is:

ΔH = -639,1 kJ -369,2 kJ -356,9 kJ +483,6 kJ +88,0 kJ

ΔH = -793,6 kJ

I hope it helps!
