The elements are arranged in horizontal rows, or periods, by order of increasing atomic number, which equals the number of protons in the atomic nucleus of each element.
Answer:
Approximately 2000 J.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Thermodynamics</u>
Specific Heat Formula: q = mcΔT
- <em>q</em> is heat (in J)
- <em>m</em> is mass (in g)
- <em>c</em> is specific heat (in J/g °C)
- ΔT is change in temperature (in °C or K)
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
[Given] <em>c</em> = 0.897 J/g °C
[Given] <em>m</em> = 79 g
[Given] ΔT = 28°C
[Solve] <em>q</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>q</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Specific Heat Formula]: q = (79 g)(0.897 J/g °C)(28 °C)
- Multiply [Cancel out units]: q = (70.863 J/°C)(28 °C)
- Multiply [Cancel out units]: q = 1984.16 J
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs as our lowest.</em>
1984.16 J ≈ 2000 J
Answer:
The given molecules are SO2 and BrF5.
Explanation:
Consider the molecule SO2:
The central atom is S.
The number of domains on S in this molecule is three.
Domain geometry is trigonal planar.
But there is a lone pair on the central atom.
So, according to VSEPR theory,
the molecular geometry becomes bent or V-shape.
Hybridization on the central atom is
.
Consider the molecule BrF5:
The central atom is Br.
The number of domains on the central atom is six.
Domain geometry is octahedral.
But the central atom has a lone pair of electrons.
So, the molecular geometry becomes square pyramidal.
The hybridization of the central atom is 
.
The shapes of SO2 and BrF5 are shown below:
Although it is omitted, the reaction equation for the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride is:
PCl₅ → PCl₃ + Cl₂
The equilibrium constant's equation then becomes:
Kc = [PCl₃]*[Cl₂] / [PCl₅]
Kc = (0.02 * 0.02) / 0.0095
Kc = 0.042
The equilibrium constant is 0.042.
