C. Oxidized and reduced are the same.
Answer: It would take 300 light years to reach Earth.
Explanation:
Answer:
C
Explanation:
looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium
Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)
Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.
This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions
Any further clarification let me know
Answer:
-250.3kJ
Explanation:
Based in the reactions and using -<em>Hess's law-</em>:
(1) P₄(s) + 6 Cl₂(g) → 4PCl₃(g) ΔH₁ = -4439kJ
(2) 4PCl₅(g) → P₄(s) + 10Cl₂ ΔH₂ = 3438kJ
The sum of (1) + (2) is:
4PCl₅(g) → 4PCl₃(g) + 4 Cl₂ ΔH = -4439kJ + 3438kJ = -1001kJ
Dividing this reaction in 4:
PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂ ΔH = -1001kJ / 4 = <em>-250.3kJ</em>
