The given question is incomplete. The complete question is

The thermite reaction, in which powdered aluminum reacts with iron oxide, is highly exothermic: 2Al(s)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Al_2O_3(s)+2Fe(s). Use standard enthalpies of formation to find ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction. Express the heat of the reaction in kilojoules to four significant figures.

Answer: ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction is -851.5 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2Al(s)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Al_2O_3(s)+2Fe(s)

We have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction (\Delta H^o).

\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}

\Delta H^o=[n_{Fe}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Fe)}+n_{Al_2O_3}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Al_2O_3)}]-[n_{Al}\times \Delta H_f^0_(Al)+n_{Fe_2O_3}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(Fe_2O_3)}]

where,

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(Fe_2O_3(s))}=-824.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Al_2O_3(s))}=-1675.7kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Fe(s))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Al(s)}=0kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times 0)+(1\times -1675.5)]-[(2\times 0)+(1\times -824.2)]=-851.5kJ

ΔH∘rxn for the thermite reaction is -851.5 kJ

What is the total number of valence electrons in an atom of germanium in the ground state?
Shalnov [3]
The answer is (4) 4. Germanium is a main group element in group 4A. Therefore, like carbon, it has 4 valence electrons in the ground state.

Some versions of the periodic table show hydrogen at the top of Group 1A(1) and at the top of Group 7A(17). What properties of h
lawyer [7]

Answer:Hydrogen is placed such because it exhibits some similar characteristics of both group1 and group VII elements.

Explanation:

The reason why hydrogen is similar to group 1 metals:

#It has same valence electron and inorder achieve octet state it can lose that electron and forms H+ ion

#It acts as a good reducing agent similar to group1 metals

#It can also halides

Similarity to halogens:

#hydrogen can also gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration. It can combine with other non metals to form molecules with covalent bonding.

#It exists as diatomin molecule,H2

#Have the same electronegativity nature

#its reaction with other metal

How much (mL) of a 2.0 M sodium hydroxide solution would it take to neutralize 50 mL of a 6.0 M solution of hydrochloric acid?
Tom [10]

Answer:

150ml

Explanation:

For this question,

NaOH completely dissociates. It is a strong base

HCl also completely dissociates. It is a strong acid

So we have this equation

m1v1 = m2v2 ----> equation 1

M2 = 2m

V1= ??

M2 = 6m

V2 = 50m

When we input these into equation 1, we have:

2m x v1 = 6m x 50ml

V1 = 6m x 50ml/2

V1 = 300/2

V1 = 150ml

Therefore NaOH that is required to neutralize the solution of hydrochloric acid is 150ml.

Thank you
