Answer:

\large \boxed{ \text{B. 2 kJ}}

Explanation:

We have two equations:

1. C(s, graphite) + O₂(g) ⟶ CO₂(g);  ∆H = -394 kJ  

2. C(s, diamond) + O₂(g) ⟶CO₂(g); ∆H = -396 kJ  

From these, we must devise the target equation:

3. C(s, graphite) ⟶ C(s,diamond); ΔH = ?

The target equation has C(s, graphite) on the left, so you rewrite Equation 1.

4. C(s, graphite) + O₂(g) ⟶ CO₂(g);  ∆H = -394 kJ  

Equation 4 has CO₂ on the right, and that is not in the target equation.

You need an equation with CO₂ on the left, so you reverse Equation 2.  

When you reverse an equation, you reverse the sign of its ΔH.

5.  CO₂(g)⟶ C(s, diamond) + O₂(g); ∆H = +396 kJ  

Now, you add equations 4 and 5, cancelling species that appear on opposite sides of the reaction arrows.

When you add equations, you add their ΔH values.

You get the target equation 3:

4. C(s, graphite) +<u> O₂(g)</u> ⟶ <u>CO₂(g)</u>; ∆H =  -394 kJ  

5. <u>CO₂(g)</u><u> ⟶ C(s, diamond) + </u><u>O₂(g</u>); ∆H = <u>+396 kJ </u>

3. C(s, graphite) ⟶ C(s, diamond);   ΔH =        2 kJ

\Delta H \text{ for the reaction is $\large \boxed{\textbf{2 kJ/mol}}$}

Explain the reason for low melting and boiling point of a covalent compound ​
mylen [45]

Answer:

Covalent compounds have weak forces of attraction between the binding molecules. Thus less energy is required to break the force of bonding. Therefore covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.

A gas mixture contains HBr, NO2, and C2H6 at STP.If a tiny hole is made in the container, which gas will effuse fastest?Which ga
MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide gas = 46 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol

Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

So, the gas with least molar mass will effuse out fastest from the container and that is ethane gas.

The formula for average kinetic energy is:

K.E=\frac{3}{2}kT

where,

k = Boltzmann’s constant = 1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K

T = temperature = 273.15 K ( at STP)

As we can see from the formula that kinetic energy depends upon only temperature of the gas molecule.

So, from this we can say that all the gas molecules have the same average kinetic energy at this temperature.

A volume of a fixed gas is doubled and the temperature is doubled. What happens to the pressure of the gas?
Montano1993 [528]
We first assume that this gas is an ideal gas where it follows the ideal gas equation. The said equation is expressed as: PV = nRT. From this equation, we can predict the changes in the pressure, volume and temperature. If the volume and the temperature of this gas is doubled, then the pressure still stays the same.
