<u>Given:</u>
Mass of Ag = 1.67 g
Mass of Cl = 2.21 g
Heat evolved = 1.96 kJ
<u>To determine:</u>
The enthalpy of formation of AgCl(s)
<u>Explanation:</u>
The reaction is:
2Ag(s) + Cl2(g) → 2AgCl(s)
Calculate the moles of Ag and Cl from the given masses
Atomic mass of Ag = 108 g/mol
# moles of Ag = 1.67/108 = 0.0155 moles
Atomic mass of Cl = 35 g/mol
# moles of Cl = 2.21/35 = 0.0631 moles
Since moles of Ag << moles of Cl, silver is the limiting reagent.
Based on reaction stoichiometry: # moles of AgCl formed = 0.0155 moles
Enthalpy of formation of AgCl = 1.96 kJ/0.0155 moles = 126.5 kJ/mol
Ans: Formation enthalpy = 126.5 kJ/mol
Explanation:
Ionic solids are defined as the solids in which atoms of opposite charge are held together by strong forces of attraction. As a result, in solid state these atoms are not present in free state.
Hence, they cannot move as ions from one place to another. On the other hand, metals are able to conduct electricity because of the presence of free electrons in it.
As we know that electricity is the flow of ions or electrons from one place to another. Therefore, metals are able to conduct electricity in their solid state.
Answer:
To have the electronic configuration equal to 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷, the chemical element must have an electrical charge equal to 27, that is, it must have 27 electrons, such as Cobalt (Co), for example.
Explanation:
The electronic configuration shown in the question above is known as the Linus Pauling distribution and represents the energy sub-levels that an electrically charged atom can have in relation to the amount of electrons it has.
The layers sub-levels are presented in the following order 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹º 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹º 5p⁶ 6s² 4f14 5d¹º 6p⁶ 7s² 5f14 6d¹º 7p⁶. Where the small numbers represent the number of electrons in each sub-level and the large numbers represent the layers of electronic distribution.
Accordingly, we can see that an atom that has the configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷ has 27 electrons, like Cobalt.
