<span>All metals have similar properties BUT, there can be wide variations in melting point, boiling point, density, electrical conductivity and physical strength.<span>To explain the physical properties of metals like iron or sodium we need a more sophisticated picture than a simple particle model of atoms all lined up in close packed rows and layers, though this picture is correctly described as another example of a giant lattice held together by metallic bonding.</span><span>A giant metallic lattice – the <span>crystal lattice of metals consists of ions (NOT atoms) </span>surrounded by a 'sea of electrons' that form the giant lattice (2D diagram above right).</span><span>The outer electrons (–) from the original metal atoms are free to move around between the positive metal ions formed (+).</span><span>These 'free' or 'delocalised' electrons from the outer shell of the metal atoms are the 'electronic glue' holding the particles together.</span><span>There is a strong electrical force of attraction between these <span>free electrons </span>(mobile electrons or 'sea' of delocalised electrons)<span> (–)</span> and the 'immobile' positive metal ions (+) that form the giant lattice and this is the metallic bond. The attractive force acts in all directions.</span><span>Metallic bonding is not directional like covalent bonding, it is like ionic bonding in the sense that the force of attraction between the positive metal ions and the mobile electrons acts in every direction about the fixed (immobile) metal ions of the metal crystal lattice, but in ionic lattices none of the ions are mobile. a big difference between a metal bond and an ionic bond.</span><span>Metals can become weakened when repeatedly stressed and strained.<span><span>This can lead to faults developing in the metal structure called 'metal fatigue' or 'stress fractures'.</span><span>If the metal fatigue is significant it can lead to the collapse of a metal structure.</span></span></span></span>

A is Ea, which stands for activating energy. Energy is needed to get the reaction underway and Ea is the energy needed to “start” the reaction.

B is the temperature either released or absorbed.

The diagram shows that the reaction is exothermic based on the fact that the products energy is lower than the reactants. That is because energy (which is temperature in this case) is released during the process. If the reactants would have been lower than the products, the reaction would be endothermic.

13.8g element consist 4.6 ×10^22 atoms what is atomic mass of element?​
Keith_Richards [23]
<h2>~<u>Solution</u> :-</h2>
  • Here, to find the atomic mass of element, we must;

We know that,

  • 4.6 x $ \sf{10^{22}}$ atoms of an element weigh 13.8g.

Thus,

The atoms of $ \sf{ 6.02 \times 10^{13}}$ will weigh;

=   \sf{\frac{13.8  \times 6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }{4.6 \times {10}^{22} } } \\

=  \sf{180.6 \: g \:  \: (molar \: mass)}

  • Hence, the molar mass (atomic mass) will be <u>180.6 g.</u>

Given the following equation, N2O(g) + NO2(g) → 3 NO(g) ΔG°rxn = -23.0 kJ
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

ΔG°rxn = -69.0 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

N₂O(g) + NO₂(g) → 3 NO(g) ΔG°rxn = -23.0 kJ

Since ΔG°rxn < 0, this reaction is exergonic, that is, 23.0 kJ of energy are released. The Gibbs free energy is an extensive property, meaning that it depends on the amount of matter. Then, if we multiply the amount of matter by 3 (by multiplying the stoichiometric coefficients by 3), the ΔG°rxn will also be tripled.

3 N₂O(g) + 3 NO₂(g) → 9 NO(g) ΔG°rxn = -69.0 kJ
