Answer:

Pentacarbon heptasilicide.

Explanation:

In order to name the following compound, we need to identify whether it is molecular or ionic.

Molecular compounds consist of non-metal atoms, while ionic compounds would have metal cations in their composition.

In the given compound, $C_5Si_7$ , we have two non-metals, carbon and silicon, meaning we should follow the molecular compound naming rules. The rules involve using prefixes to state the number of individual atoms.

The two prefixes required here are 'penta' for 'five' to indicate 5 carbon atoms present and 'hepta' for 'seven' to indicate 7 silicon atoms present.

The first part of the name would be pentacarbon (notice that the standard name for the first element is used). The second part would be heptasilicide (notice that the second atom would have an ending of -ide followed by the standard beginning of silicon).

Combustion of Fossil Fuels

Explanation:

The combustion of fossil fuels is a major contributor to unbalancing of the carbon cycle which causes more carbon dioxide to be released into the air than can be naturally processed.

Combustion of fossil fuel is an anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide emission. This chemical process is used to power internal combustion engines and industrial activities. The by product is usually carbon dioxide.

Plants that use carbon dioxide for their life processes cannot completely absorb all of this anthropogenic emission.

Naturally, animal respiration and decomposition provides enough carbon dioxide for use during photosynthesis. Combustion of fossil fuels tips this balance.

Describe what happens when a bond is created between magnesium and bromine. Be specific and explain in terms of electrons.

Allushta [10]

Answer: Magnesium and Bromine/MgBr2 = Ionic compounds

Explanation: When atoms form together they can form between Ionic Compounds and molecules; this could depend on if they're joined by Covalent bonds as well because when atoms form with Covalent bonds, it forms Molecules.

7. A 2.0 L container had 0.40 mol of He(g) and 0.60 mol of Ar(g) at 25°C.

Finger [1]

Answer:

a) Ek Ar > Ek He

b) v Ar < v He

c) If v Ar = 431 m/s ⇒ v He = 1710.44 m/s

d) Pt = 12.218 atm

e) P He = 4.887 atm and P Ar = 7.33 atm

Explanation:

container:

∴ V = 2.0 L

∴ n He = 0.4 mol

∴ n Ar = 0.6 mol

∴ T = 25°C ≅ 298 K

a) Internal energy (U) :

∴ U = Ek + Ep = kinetic energy + potential energy

∴ Ep: the potential interaction energy is neglected, assuming ideal gas mixture

⇒ U = Ek = N(1/2mv²)= 3/2 NKT

∴ N = nNo ....number of moleculas

∴ K = 1.380 E-23 J/K....Boltzmann's constant

∴ No = 6.022 E23 molec/mol....Avogadro's number

for He:

⇒ N = (0.4)(6.022 E23) = 2.4088 E23 molec

⇒ Ek = (3/2)(2.4088 E23)(1.380 E-23 J/K)(298) = 1485.892 J

for Ar:

⇒ N = (0.6)(6.022 E23) = 3.6132 E 23 molec

⇒ Ek = (3/2)(3.6132 E23)(1.380 E-23 J/K)(298) = 2228.838 J

** Ar gas has a greater average kinetic energy

b) He:

∴ N(1/2)mv² = (3/2)NKT

⇒ mv² = 3KT

⇒ v² = 3KT/m

⇒ v = √3KT/m

∴ m He = (0.4 mol)(4.0026 g/mol) = 1.601 g He = 1.601 E-3 Kg He

⇒ v = √(3(1.380 E-23)(298)/(1.601 E-3)) = 2.776 E-9 m/s He

Ar:

∴ m Ar = (0.6)(39.948 g/mol) = 23.969 g = 0.0239 Kg Ar

⇒ v = 6.99 E-10 m/s

** v Ar < v He

c) r = V Ar / v He = (6.99 E-10 m/s)/(2.776 E-9 m/s) = 0.252

∴ If v Ar = 431 m/s

⇒ v He = v Ar/0.252 = 431 m/s / 0.252 = 1710.44 m/s

d) Pt = ntRT / V

∴ nt = 0.4 + 0.6 = 1 mol

⇒ Pt = (1mol)(0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298 K)/(2.00 L) = 12.218 atm

e) P He = nRT/V = (0.4)(0.082)(298)/2 = 4.8872 atm

⇒ P Ar = Pt - PHe = 12.218 - 4.8872 = 7.33 atm
