How does the potential energy of the reactants compare to the potential energy of the products in an exothermic reaction, and wh

ere does the energy that is given off come from?

In an endothermic reaction the products have less potential energy than the reactants. I'm not sure about the second question though.

How many chlorine molecules are in 35.5g of chlorine gas

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Since chlorine is one of the 7 diatomic elements we know that chlorine appears as Cl₂ gas naturally. That means that the molar mass of a chlorine gas is 70.9g/mol. That being said, first you need to find the number of moles of chlorine gas that are present in a 35.5g sample. To do this divide 35.5g by the molar mass of chlorine gas (70.9g/mol) to get 0.501mol of chlorine. Then you have to multiply 0.501mol by 6.02×10²³ to get the number of chlorine gas molecules. Therefore 3.01×10²³ molecules of chlorine gas are present in a 35.5g sample.

I hope that helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

What is not true about radiation? it travels out in all directions from its source. it is one of three methods of heat transfer.

Alika [10]

The answer is the last one (it needs a medium through which to travel) it is not true about radiation. A radiation is the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium. This includes; electromagnetic radiation, such as a radio wave, microwaves, visible light, x rays, and gamma radiation.

Part B Identify the sets of quantum numbers that describe all the electrons in the ground state of a neutral beryllium atom, Be.

dmitriy555 [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The set of quantum numbers for the electrons in Be atom are (2, 1, -1, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, -1/2) and (2, 0, 0, -1/2)

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 4 quantum numbers:

Principal Quantum number (n) specifies the energy of the electron in a shell.
Azimuthal Quantum number (l) specifies the shape of an orbital. The value of it lies in the range of 0 to (n-1)
Magnetic Quantum number (m) specifies the orientation of the orbital in space. The value of it lies in the range of -l to +l
Spin Quantum number (s) specifies the spin of an electron in an orbital. It can either have a value of $+\frac{1}{2}$ or $-\frac{1}{2}$

Berylium (Be) is the 4th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^2$

<u>For electrons in 1s-orbital, the quantum numbers can be:</u>

For first electron:

$n=1\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=+\frac{1}{2}$

For second electron:

$n=1\\l=0\\m=0\\s=-\frac{1}{2}$

<u>For electrons in 2s-orbital, the quantum numbers can be:</u>

For first electron:

$n=2\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=+\frac{1}{2}$

For second electron:

$n=2\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=-\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the set of quantum numbers for the electrons in Be atom are (2, 1, -1, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, -1/2) and (2, 0, 0, -1/2)

In a pure metal, the electrons can be thought of as [concentrated] around atoms throughout the metal. Using molecular orbital theory, there [is ] an energy gap between the filled molecular orbitals and empty molecular orbitals. The [antibonding] orbitals are typically higher in energy and are mostly (filled]

Forces and Motion:Question 1

defon

Answer:

Velocity = 12 km/h

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the division between distance traveled and the time it took for that distance to be traveled:

Velocity = Distance / Time

With the above information in mind, we can calculate the velocity of the bicycle:

Velocity = 18 km / 1.5 h

Velocity = 12 km/h

Thus the velocity of the bicycle is 12 kilometers per hour.
