The model of the atom is crucial to understanding chemistry and in explaining the behavior of matter because it will help us see what the atom is. Having knowledge of its model will give us an idea how and why they can react to other atoms.

Using standard heats of formation, calculate the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction. 2H2S(g) 3O2(g)2H2O(l) 2SO2
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

\Delta _rH=-1124.14kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the standard enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is stood for the enthalpy of reaction, for the given reaction:

2H_2S(g) +3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l) +2SO_2(g)

We set up the enthalpy of reaction considering the enthalpy of formation of each species in the reaction at the specified phase and the stoichiometric coefficient:

\Delta _rH=2\Delta _fH_{H_2O,liq}+2\Delta _fH_{SO_2,gas}-2\Delta _fH_{H_2S,gas}-3\Delta _fH_{O_2,gas}

In such a way, by using the NIST database, we find that:

\Delta _fH_{H_2O, liq}=-285.83kJ/mol\\\\\Delta _fH_{SO_2, gas}=-296.84kJ/mol\\\\\Delta _fH_{O_2,gas}=0kJ/mol\\\\\Delta _fH_{H_2S,gas}=-20.50kJ/mol

Thus, we plug in the enthalpies of formation to obtain:

\Delta _rH=2(-285.73kJ/mol)+2(-296.84kJ/mol)-2(-20.50kJ/mol)-3(0kJ/mol)\\\\\Delta _rH=-1124.14kJ/mol

Consider two equal-volume flasks of gas at the same temperature and pressure. One gas, oxygen, has a molecular mass of 32. The o
san4es73 [151]

Answer: The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of moles.

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Thus as oxygen and nitrogen are at same temperature and pressure and are in equal volume flasks , they have same number of moles and thus have same number of molecules.

The ratio of the number of oxygen molecules to the number of nitrogen molecules in these flasks is 1: 1

Which of the following statements describes a difference between a chemical change and a physical change in a substance
siniylev [52]

Explanation:

A physical change is one that alters the physical properties of matter (particularly the form and state).

A chemical change is one in which new kind of matter is formed. It is always accompanied by energy changes (evolution or absorption of energy in form of heat or light or both).

Now, the salient differences between physical and chemical changes;

  1. Physical changes are easily reversible whereas chemical changes are not easily reversible.
  2. Physical changes lead to the production of no new kinds of matter whereas chemical changes leads to the production of new kinds of matter.
  3. Physical changes involves no change in mass whereas chemical changes involves change in mass.
  4. Physical changes require little energy whereas considerable amount of energy is needed for chemical changes.

When electrolyzing copper (ll) chloride, what reaction takes place at the anode? What reaction takes place at the cathode?
klemol [59]

Answer:

Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎

Explanation:

During electrolysis,  the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.

At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)

Thus the half equation is as follows:

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎
