The gold leaf (not foil) is to give a sculpture or a painting appeal. Without it, it would discolour quicker.The gold leaf can be easily removed if needed to be.

How many moles are there in 8.50 X 1024 molecules of sodium sulfate, Na2SO3?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

<h2>14.12 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{8.50 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 14.119601...

We have the final answer as

<h3>14.12 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

The ionization energies of rubidium and silver are 4.18 and 7.57 eV, respectively. Calculate the ionization energies of an H ato
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0.544 eV; Ag is a smaller atom.

Explanation:

1. Ionization energy of hydrogen

The outermost electrons in Rb and Ag are in 5s orbitals.

The formula for the energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is

E = -13.6/n² eV

For a hydrogen atom in a 5s orbital,

E = -13.6/5² = -13.6/25 = -0.544 eV

The ionization energy would be 0.544 eV.

2. Rb vs Ag

The first electrons to be removed from Rb and Ag are in 5s orbitals.

The atomic radius of Ag is less than that of Rb because, as you go from left to right across the Row, you are adding 10 protons to the nucleus and 10 electrons to the outer shell.

The added electrons do not effectively shield each other from the attraction of the nucleus, so the 5s electron of Ag is closer in.

It takes more energy to remove the electron from silver, so the ionization energy of Ag is greater than that of Rb.

How do you predict a reaction outcome for Ni(s) + H2O(L)?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Ni(s) + H₂O(l) -------------> [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺

Explanation:

Data Given:

Reactants:

Ni(s) + H₂O(l)

Product = ?

Solution:

Names of the Reactants

Ni = Nickel

H₂O = water

Reaction:

Normally nickel directly does not react with water under normal condition. But indirectly in acidic or neutral condition it form complex ion.

For this it first dissolve slowly in dilute acid, in this reaction it liberate Ni²⁺ ions these nickel ions form light green complex ions in aqueous solution.

              Ni(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) -------> Ni²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂

This is a type of complex formation in which Nickel react with water and produced a light green color new complex ion or product.

Complete reaction is as under

                  Ni(s) + H₂O(l) -------------> [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺

Balance Reaction:

                   Ni(s) + 6 H₂O(l) -------------> [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺

So.

by this reaction one product is formed that is [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ named as hexaqua nickel ion

A student dissolves 10.7 g of lithium chloride (LiCl) in 300. g of water in a well-insulated open cup. He then observes the temp
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

1) Exothermic.

2) Q_{rxn}=-8580J

3) \Delta _rH=-121.0kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello there!

1) In this case, for these calorimetry problems, we can realize that since the temperature increases the reaction is exothermic because it is releasing heat to solution, that is why the temperature goes from 22.0 °C to 28.6 °C.

2) Now, for the total heat released by the reaction, we first need to assume that all of it is absorbed by the solution since it is possible to assume that the calorimeter is perfectly isolated. In such a way, it is also valid to assume that the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/(g°C) as it is mostly water, therefore, the heat released by the reaction is:

Q_{rxn}=-m_{Total}C(T_2-T_1)\\\\Q_{rxn}=-(300g+10.7g)*4.184 \frac{J}{g\°C} (28.6\°C-22.0\°C)\\\\Q_{rxn}=-8580J

3) Finally, since the enthalpy of reaction is calculated by dividing the heat released by the reaction over the moles of the solute, in this case LiCl, we proceed as follows:

\Delta _rH=\frac{Q_{rxn}}{n_{LiCl}} \\\\\Delta _rH=\frac{-8580J}{10.7g*\frac{1mol}{150.91g} }*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}  \\\\\Delta _rH=-121.0kJ/mol

Best regards!
