Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of argon is 18 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}.

Also, it is known that number of electrons in K, L and M shells of argon are 2, 8, 8.

Thus, we can conclude that an atom of argon in the ground state tends not to bond with an atom of a different element because the argon atom has a total of eight valence electrons.

So, as per the octet rule, last sub-shell of argon is completely filled. Hence, it will not form any bond with any other atom.

When 2.3 × 10^3 g of CaCO3 are heated, the actual yield of CaO is 1.09 × 10^3g. What is
iren [92.7K]

The percent yield : 4. 84.58%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

CaCO₃ ⇄ CaO+CO₂

mass CaCO₃ = 2.3 × 10³ g

mol CaCO₃ (MW=100.0869 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{2.3\times 10^3}{100,0869}\\\\mol=22.98

From the equation, mol CaCO₃ : CaO = 1 : 1, so mol CaO=22.98

mass CaO(MW=56.0774 g/mol)⇒ (theoretical) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=22.98\times 56,0774\\\\mass=1288.659~g

The percent yield :

\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{1090}{1288.659}\times 100\%\\\\\5yield=84.58\%

How much energy must be removed from a 125 g sample of benzene (molar mass= 78.11 g/mol) at 425.0 K to liquify the sample and lo
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer : The energy removed must be, -67.7 kJ

Solution :

The process involved in this problem are :

(1):C_6H_6(g)(425.0K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(g)(353.0K)\\\\(2):C_6H_6(g)(353.0K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(l)(353.0K)\\\\(3):C_6H_6(l)(353.0K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(l)(335.0K)

The expression used will be:

\Delta H=[m\times c_{p,g}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+m\times \Delta H_{vap}+[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]

where,

\Delta H = heat released by the reaction = ?

m = mass of benzene = 125 g

c_{p,g} = specific heat of gaseous benzene = 1.06J/g^oC

c_{p,l} = specific heat of liquid benzene = 1.73J/g^oC

\Delta H_{vap} = enthalpy change for vaporization = 33.9kJ/mole=33900J/mole=\frac{33900J/mole}{78.11g/mole}J/g=434.0J/g

Molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\Delta H=[125g\times 1.06J/g.K\times (353.0-(425.0))K]+125g\times -434.0J/g+[125g\times 1.73J/g.K\times (335.0-353.0)K]

\Delta H=-67682.5J=-67.7kJ

Therefore, the energy removed must be, -67.7 kJ
