What ion the element P forms? Explain.

1 answer:

5 0

Phosphorus is in group 15 meaning it have 5 valence electrons. This means that it needs 3 more electrons to create a full outer shell. As these three electrons are negatively charged it means that P is a 3- ion (it’s an anion [negatively charged ion])

Carbon, hydrogen and ethane each burn exothermically in an excess of air. AHⓇ =-393.7 kJ mol. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) H2(g) + % O2

Salsk061 [2.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 51.8 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and water follows:

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=-393.7kJ$ ( × 2)

(2) $H_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_2=-285.9kJ$ ( × 2)

(3) $2C_2H_4(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-1411kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[2\times \Delta H_1]+[2\times \Delta H_2]+[1\times (-\Delta H_3)]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (-393.7))+(2\times (-285.9))+(1\times -(-1411))]=51.8kJ$

Hence, the $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 51.8 kJ.

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, to NO2 and O2 is a first-order reaction. At 60°C, the rate constant is 2.8 × 10

Sati [7]

Answer:

a. 113 min

Explanation:

Considering the equilibrium:-

2N₂O₅ ⇔ 4NO₂ + O₂

At t = 0 125 kPa

At t = teq 125 - 2x 4x x

Thus, total pressure = 125 - 2x + 4x + x = 125 - 3x

125 - 3x = 176 kPa

x = 17 kPa

Remaining pressure of N₂O₅ = 125 - 2*17 kPa = 91 kPa

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = $2.8\times 10^{-3}$ min⁻¹

Initial concentration $[A_0]$ = 125 kPa

Final concentration $[A_t]$ = 91 kPa

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

$91=125e^{-2.8\times 10^{-3}\times t}$

$125e^{-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t}=91$

$-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t=\ln \left(\frac{91}{125}\right)$

$t=113\ min$

a physical property can be observed while the substance remains the same in its chemical composition. true false

sweet [91]

While the material retains its chemical makeup, the physical property may be examined. The given statement is true.

The matter can undergo variations in physical or chemical properties. The physical changes of a matter occur when the matter undergoes changes in its physical properties like changes in the state of matter, weight, color, etc.

But the chemical composition of matter will remain constant if it undergoes a physical change. Whereas in chemical change, the matter undergoes a change in the composition of the substance but there will be no change in the physical properties.

Hence, The assertion is correct in that physical properties can be seen while the substance's chemical makeup stays constant.

How is the mantle different from the core?

Pepsi [2]

Answer:The Earth's mantle is made up of semisolid rocks. ... The core consists of extremely hot metal layers instead of rock. Iron and nickel make up the outer section of the core, while the interior is almost entirely iron. The inner core is almost totally solid and shaped like a ball.
