Before starting, we will convert all the givens into standard units as follows:
1.8 * 10^14 KJ/sec = 1.8 * 10^14 * 1000 = 1.8 * 10^17 J/sec
24 hours = 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 second

Now, we are given that:
The earth receives 1.8 * 10^17 J/sec. We will begin by calculating the total energy received by the earth in 24-hours
Total energy = 1.8 * 10^17 * 86400 = 1.5552 * 10^22 Joules

Then we will get the mass from the following rule:
E = m * c^2 where:
E is the total energy = 1.5552 * 10^22 Joules
m is the mass we need to find
c is the speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/sec

Substitute with the givens to get the mass as follows:
1.5552 * 10^22 = m * (3*10^8)^2
m = 172800 kg

Determine which of the following pairs of reactants will result in a spontaneous reaction at 25°C. None of the above pairs will
Alla [95]

Answer:

Only Fe^{3+}+Mg gives spontaneous reaction.

Explanation:

A redox reaction will be spontaneous if standard reduction potential (E^{0}) of the reaction is positive. Because it leads to negative standard gibbs free energy change (\Delta G^{0}), which is a thermodynamic condition for spontaneity of a reaction.

E^{0}=E^{0}(reduction)-E^{0}(oxidation)

Where E^{0}(reduction) and E^{0}(oxidation) represents standard reduction potential of reduction half cell and standard reduction potential of oxidation half cell.

(1) Oxidation:         Mg-2e^{-}\rightarrow Mg^{2+} ;  E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=-2.38V

Reduction:         Fe^{3+}+3e^{-}\rightarrow Fe ; E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}=-0.04V

So, E^{0}=E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}-E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=(-0.04+2.38)V=2.34V

Hence this pair will give spontaneous reaction.

(2) Similarly as above, E^{0}=E_{Pb^{2+}\mid Pb}^{0}-E_{Au^{+}\mid Au}^{0}=(-0.13-1.69)V=-1.82 V

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(3) Similarly as above, E^{0}=E_{Ag^{+}\mid Ag}^{0}-E_{Br_{2}\mid Br^{-}}^{0}=(0.80-1.07)V=-0.27 V

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(4)  Similarly as above, E^{0}=E_{Li^{+}\mid Li}^{0}-E_{Cr^{3+}\mid Cr}^{0}=(-3.04+0.74)V=-2.30 V

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

When 551. mg of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 100 g of benzonitrile (CH,CN), the freezing point of the solutio
arsen [322]

Answer:

1.12g/mol

Explanation:

The freezing point depression of a solvent for the addition of a solute follows the equation:

ΔT = Kf*m*i

<em>Where ΔT is change in temperature (Benzonitrile freezing point: -12.82°C; Freezing point solution: 13.4°C)</em>

<em>ΔT = 13.4°C - (-12.82) = 26.22°C</em>

<em>m is molality of the solution</em>

<em>Kf is freezing point depression constant of benzonitrile (5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹)</em>

<em>And i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for all solutes in benzonitrile)</em>

Replacing:

26.22°C = 5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹*m*1

4.90mol/kg = molality of the compound X

As the mass of the solvent is 100g = 0.100kg:

4.9mol/kg * 0.100kg = 0.490moles

There are 0.490 moles of X in 551mg = 0.551g, the molar mass (Ratio of grams and moles) is:

0.551g / 0.490mol

= 1.12g/mol

<em>This result has no sense but is the result by using the freezing point of the solution = 13.4°C. Has more sense a value of -13.4°C.</em>
