Answer:

<em> Pressure exerted by the gas is 574.85 torr</em>

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure = 751 torr

but 1 torr = 1 mmHg

therefore,

atmospheric pressure = 751 mmHg

1 mmHg = 133.3 Pa

therefore,

atmospheric pressure = 751 x 133.3 = 100108.3 Pa

distance labeled (tube section with mercury) = 176 mm

the pressure within the tube will be

P_{tube} = ρgh

where ρ is the density of mercury = 13600 kg/m^3

h is the labeled distance = 176 mm = 0.176 m

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

P_{tube}  = 13600 x 9.81 x 0.176 = 23481.216 Pa

The general equation for the pressure in the manometer will be

P_{atm} = P_{tube} + P_{gas}

where P_{atm}  is the atmospheric pressure

P_{tube}  is the pressure within the tube with mercury

P_{gas} is the pressure of the gas

substituting, we have

100108.3 = 23481.216 + P_{gas}

P_{gas} = 100108.3 - 23481.216 = <em>76627.1 Pa</em>

This pressure can be stated in mmHg as

76627.1 /133.3 =<em> 574.85 mmHg </em>

and also equal to<em> 574.85 torr</em>

Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the
sergejj [24]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
  • Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.
  • Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.
  • Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Surface tension is measured as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit of area. The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules.
  • A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions, while a molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
  • Surface tension decreases when temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with an increase of molecular thermal activity.

Sodium metal reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide according to the chemical equation shown below.
UNO [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy change of the reaction is -361.6 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of sodium = 0.025 moles

Molar mass of sodium = 23 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.025mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium}}{23g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sodium}=(0.025mol\times 23g/mol)=0.575g

We are given:

Mass of water = 100.00 g

Mass of sodium = 0.575 g

Mass of solution = 100.00 + 0.575 = 100.575 g

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed, we use the equation:

q=m\times C\times \Delta T

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of solution = 100.575 g

C = specific heat capacity of solution = 4.18 J/g°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = (T_2-T_1)=(35.75-25.00)=10.75^oC

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

q=100.575g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times 10.75^oC=4519.34J=4.52kJ

When heat is absorbed by the solution, this means that heat is getting released by the reaction.

<u>Sign convention of heat:</u>

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

For the given chemical reaction:

2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow NaOH(aq.)+H_2(g)

When 0.025 moles of sodium is reacted, the heat released by the reaction is 4.52 kJ

So, when 2 moles of sodium will react, the heat released by the reaction will be = \frac{4.52}{0.025}\times 2=361.6kJ

Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -361.6 kJ

Noble gas compounds like KrF, XeCl, and XeBr are used in excimer lasers. Draw an approximate molecular orbital diagram appropria
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

The MO diagrams of KrBr, XeCl, and XeBr are shown below.

They are similar, except for the numbering of the valence shell orbitals.

Also, I have drawn the s and p orbitals at the same energy levels for both atoms in the compounds. That is obviously not the case.

However, the MO diagrams are approximately correct.

The ground state electron configuration of KrF is

(1\sigma_{g})^{2}\, (1\sigma_{u}^{*})^{2} \, (2\sigma_{g})^{2} \, (2\sigma_{u}^{*})^{2} \, (3\sigma_{g})^{2} \,  (1\pi_{u})^{4} \, (1\pi_{g}^{*})^{4} \, (3\sigma_{g}^{*})^{1}

KrF⁺ will have one less electron than KrF.

You remove the antibonding electron from the highest energy orbital, so the bond order increases.

The KrF bond will be stronger.
