Explanation:
H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl
Hmm redox reaction.
Energy is needed to break the bonds of H-H in H2 and Cl-Cl in Cl2
3 electrons would be in the 2p orbital
Answer:
A i. Internal energy ΔU = -4.3 J ii. Internal energy ΔU = -6.0 J B. The second system is lower in energy.
Explanation:
A. We know that the internal energy,ΔU = q + w where q = quantity of heat and w = work done on system.
1. In the above q = -7.9 J (the negative indicating heat loss by the system). w = 3.6 J (It is positive because work is done on the system). So, the internal energy for this system is ΔU₁ = q + w = -7.9J + 3.6J = -4.3 J
ii. From the question q = +1.5 J (the positive indicating heat into the system). w = -7.5 J (It is negative because work is done by the system). So, the internal energy for this system is ΔU₂ = q + w = +1.5J + (-7.5J) = +1.5J - 7.5J = - 6.0J
B. We know that ΔU = U₂ - U₁ where U₁ and U₂ are the initial and final internal energies of the system. Since for the systems above, the initial internal energies U₁ are the same, then we say U₁ = U. Let U₁ and U₂ now represent the final energies of both systems in A i and A ii above. So, we write ΔU₁ = U₁ - U and ΔU₂ = U₂ - U where ΔU₁ and ΔU₂ are the internal energy changes in A i and A ii respectively. Now from ΔU₁ = U₁ - U, U₁ = ΔU₁ + U and U₂ = ΔU₂ + U. Subtracting both equations U₁ - U₂ = ΔU₁ - ΔU₂
= -4.3J -(-6.0 J)= 1.7 J. Since U₁ - U₂ > 0 , U₂ < U₁ , so the second system's internal energy increase less and is lower in energy and is more stable.
Answer: Mg is the excess reactant for the forward reaction.
Explanation: It is a stoichiometry problem and solved with the help of given grams and using balanced equation. Grams of both the reactants are converted to moles and divided by their coefficients. The excess reactant is the one for which we get the highest number on doing above steps.
The balanced equation is:
Molar mass of silicon tetra chloride is 169.9 gram per mol and the molar mass of Mg is 24.3 gram per mol.
= 
= 2.67 mol Mg
From balanced equation, the coefficient of silicon tetra chloride is 1 and that of Mg is 2. So, we will divide the moles of silicon tetra chloride by 1 and that of Mg by 2 and see which one gives highest number.
For silicon tetra chloride, 
= 0.317
and for Mg, 
= 1.34
The highest number is for Mg and so the excess reactant for the forward reaction is Mg.
The last question depends on the scientific method.
Scientific Method
1. Make an observation of what u are testing 2. Form a question about ur observations. 3. Make a hypothesis 4. Conduct your experiment 5. Record information and results.
The first question depends what you will need to use first for the experiment.
