Well on the periodic table Cl is in the section saying it is a non metal. In addition, it is nonmetls because it is usually a gas while metals are not. Finally, it is a non metal because it usually gains electrons instead of losing them during a reaction unlike metals.
Answer:
It is important to know if a resource is renewable or non-renewable because renewable resources are self-sustaining (unlike non-renewable resources). If a non-renewable resource is used too often, that resource may eventually become non-existant. This can also happen to renewable resources, but it is more difficult.
Answer: C. ethanol
The enthalpy of combustion is the amount of heat produced when one mole of ethanol undergoes complete combustion at 25 ° C and 1 atmosphere pressure, yielding products also at 25 ° C and 1 atm.
<u>The enthalpy of combustion of the unknown compound is</u>
ΔH = - 320 kJ / 0.25 mol = - 1280 kJ / mol
<u>To choose a probable compound according to this combustion enthalpy, we must evaluate the deviation in relation to the values reported in the literature for the three probable compounds</u> (methane, ethylene and ethanol). The deviation (e%) will be calculated according to the following equation,
e% = ( | ΔHx - ΔH | / ΔHx ) x 100%
where ΔHx is the enthalpy of combustion of the probable compound.
The following table shows the combustion enthalpies of the probable compounds and their deviation in relation to the enthalpy of ΔH = - 1280 kJ / mol
Compound Enthalpy of combustion (kJ/mol) Deviation
Methane - 890.7 43.8%
Ehylene -1411.2 9.3%
Ethanol -1368.6 6.5%
According to the previous table, we can say that the most probable compound is ethanol, since it has the smallest deviation in relation to the experimental enthalpy value of combustion.
They are gases at room temperature
Hope this helps:)
