Answer:

-196 kJ

Explanation:

By the Hess' Law, the enthalpy of a global reaction is the sum of the enthalpies of the steps reactions. If the reaction is multiplied by a constant, the value of the enthalpy must be multiplied by the same constant, and if the reaction is inverted, the signal of the enthalpy must be inverted too.

2S(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)  ΔH = -790 kJ

S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g)         ΔH = -297 kJ (inverted and multiplied by 2)

2S(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)  ΔH = -790 kJ

2SO₂(g) → 2S(s) + 2O₂(g)   ΔH = +594 kJ

-------------------------------------------------------------

2S(s) + 3O₂(g) + 2SO₂(g) → 2SO₃(g) + 2S(s) + 2O₂(g)

Simplifing the compounds that are in both sides (bolded):

2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g) ΔH = -790 + 594 = -196 kJ

What is one way to test whether an unknown solution is acidic or basic
Dima020 [189]

A solution's pH will be a number between 0 and 14. A solution with a pH of 7 is classified as neutral. If the pH is lower than 7, the solution is acidic. When pH is higher than 7, the solution is basic. These numbers describe the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and increase on a negative logarithmic scale. For example, If Solution A has a pH of 3 and Solution B has a pH of 1, then Solution B has 100 times as many hydrogen ions than A and is therefore 100 times more acidic.

How many liters of oxygen gas can react with 84.0 grams of lithium metal at standard temperature and pressure? Show all of the w
ddd [48]
From the equation:
4mol Li react with 1 mol O2
Molar mass Li = 7g/mol
mol in 84g Li = 84/7 = 12 mol Li
From the equation - 12 mol Li will react with 3 mol O2

At STP 1 mol O2 has volume = 22.4L
<span> At STP 3 mol O2 has volume = 3*22.4 = 67.2L O2 gas will react. </span>

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
TEA [102]

Answer:

K=\frac{[CaO][CH_{4}][H_{2}O ]^{2}  }{[CaCO_{2}][H_{2}]^4  }

Explanation:

The equilibrium expression is the K value equal to the product of the concentrations of the products over the product of the concentrations of the reactants.  If there is a coefficient in front of the compound, raise the molecule to that power.

Since K is big, more product is expected.  This is because of mathematic principles.  A large numerator with a small denominator will produce a large number.

In each of the following sets of elements, which one will be least likely to gain or lose electrons?
klasskru [66]
1. The reactivity among the alkali metals increases as you go down the group due to the decrease in the effective nuclear charge from the increased shielding by the greater number of electrons. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the hold on the valence electron the nucleus has, and the more easily the element can lose the electron. Conversely, the lower the atomic number, the greater pull the nucleus has on the valence electron, and the less readily would the element be able to lose the electron (relatively speaking). Thus, in the first set comprising group I elements, sodium (Na) would be the least likely to lose its valence electron (and, for that matter, its core electrons).

2. The elements in this set are the group II alkaline earth metals, and they follow the same trend as the alkali metals. Of the elements here, beryllium (Be) would have the highest effective nuclear charge, and so it would be the least likely to lose its valence electrons. In fact, beryllium has a tendency not to lose (or gain) electrons, i.e., ionize, at all; it is unique among its congeners in that it tends to form covalent bonds.

3. While the alkali and alkaline earth metals would lose electrons to attain a noble gas configuration, the group VIIA halogens, as we have here, would need to gain a valence electron for an full octet. The trends in the group I and II elements are turned on their head for the halogens: The smaller the atomic number, the less shielding, and so the greater the pull by the nucleus to gain a valence electron. And as the atomic number increases (such as when you go down the group), the more shielding there is, the weaker the effective nuclear charge, and the lesser the tendency to gain a valence electron. Bromine (Br) has the largest atomic number among the halogens in this set, so an electron would feel the smallest pull from a bromine atom; bromine would thus be the least likely here to gain a valence electron.

4. The pattern for the elements in this set (the group VI chalcogens) generally follows that of the halogens. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the pull of the nucleus, and so the lesser the tendency to gain electrons. Tellurium (Te) has the highest atomic number among the elements in the set, and so it would be the least likely to gain electrons.
