Answer: The given compound is a covalent compound.

Explanation:

Covalent compound is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound. These are usually formed when two non-metals react.

An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom. These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical name as nitrogen triiodide.

This compound is formed by the combination of nitrogen and iodine atoms. Both these elements are non-metals and thus form covalent compound.

The chemical formula for the given compound is $NI_3$

Hence, the given compound is a covalent compound.

Nitrogen triiodide is the inorganic compound with the formula NI3. It is an extremely sensitive contact explosive: small quantities explode with a loud, sharp snap when touched even lightly, releasing a purple cloud of iodine vapor; it can even be detonated by alpha radiation. NI3 has a complex structural chemistry that is difficult to study because of the instability of the derivatives.

How much energy must be removed from a 125 g sample of benzene (molar mass= 78.11 g/mol) at 425.0 K to liquify the sample and lo

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer : The energy removed must be, -67.7 kJ

Solution :

The process involved in this problem are :

$(1):C_6H_6(g)(425.0K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(g)(353.0K)\\\\(2):C_6H_6(g)(353.0K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(l)(353.0K)\\\\(3):C_6H_6(l)(353.0K)\rightarrow C_6H_6(l)(335.0K)$

The expression used will be:

$\Delta H=[m\times c_{p,g}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+m\times \Delta H_{vap}+[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]$

where,

$\Delta H$ = heat released by the reaction = ?

m = mass of benzene = 125 g

$c_{p,g}$ = specific heat of gaseous benzene = $1.06J/g^oC$

$c_{p,l}$ = specific heat of liquid benzene = $1.73J/g^oC$

$\Delta H_{vap}$ = enthalpy change for vaporization = $33.9kJ/mole=33900J/mole=\frac{33900J/mole}{78.11g/mole}J/g=434.0J/g$

Molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$\Delta H=[125g\times 1.06J/g.K\times (353.0-(425.0))K]+125g\times -434.0J/g+[125g\times 1.73J/g.K\times (335.0-353.0)K]$

$\Delta H=-67682.5J=-67.7kJ$

Therefore, the energy removed must be, -67.7 kJ

For the equilibrium PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), Kc = 2.0 × 101 at 240°C. If pure PCl5 is placed in a 1.00-L container and allowed

Cloud [144]

Answer:

the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M

Explanation:

for the reaction

PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

where

Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 2.0*10¹ M = 20 M

and [A] denote concentrations of A

if initially the mixture is pure PCl₅ , then it will dissociate according to the reaction and since always one mole of PCl₃(g) is generated with one mole of Cl₂(g) , the total number of moles of both at the end is the same → they have the same concentration → [PCl₃(g)] = [Cl₂]=0.27 M

therefore

Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 0.27 M* 0.27 M /[PCl₅] = 20 M

[PCl₅] = 0.27 M* 0.27 M / 20 M = 3.64*10⁻³ M

[PCl₅] = 3.64*10⁻³ M

the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M
