When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises. When a substance is cooled, it loses thermal energy, which causes its particles to move more slowly and its temperature to drop.
Answer:
514.5 g.
Explanation:
- The balanced equation of the reaction is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
- It is clear that every 2.0 moles of NaOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of 2H₂O.
- Since NaOH is in excess, so H₂SO₄ is the limiting reactant.
- We need to calculate the no. of moles of 355.0 g of H₂SO₄:
n of H₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (355.0 g)/(98.0 g/mol) = 3.622 mol.
Using cross multiplication:
∵ 1.0 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 1.0 mol of Na₂SO₄.
∴ 3.622 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 3.662 mol of Na₂SO₄.
- Now, we can get the theoretical mass of Na₂SO₄:
∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ = no. of moles x molar mass = (3.662 mol)(142.04 g/mol) = 514.5 g.
Answer:
C. The lowest-energy electron configuration of an atom has the maximum number of unpaired electrons, all of which have the same spin, in degenerate orbitals.
Explanation:
The Hund's rule is used to place the electrons in the orbitals is it states that:
1. Every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied;
2. All of the electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin.
So, the electrons first seek to fill the orbitals with the same energy (degenerate orbitals) before paring with electrons in a half-filled orbital. Orbitals doubly occupied have greater energy, so the lowest-energy electron configuration of an atom has the maximum number of unpaired electrons, and for the second statement, they have the same spin.
The other alternatives are correct, but they're not observed by the Hund's rule.
