A process at constant T and P can be described as spontaneous if ΔG < 0 and nonspontaneous if ΔG > 0. Over what range of t

emperatures is the following process spontaneous? Assume that gases are at a pressure of 1 atm. (Hint: Use the data below to calculate ΔH and ΔS [assumed independent of temperature and equal to ΔH° and ΔS°, respectively] and then use the definition of ΔG.)

Answer:

Incomplete question, it is lacking the data it makes reference. The missing data from Chegg is:

                              2 SO3(g)   →          2 SO2(g) + O2(g)

ΔHf° (kJ mol-1)  -395.7                        -296.8

S° (J K-1 mol-1)  256.8                         248.2              205.1

ΔH° =  kJ

S° =  J K⁻¹

Explanation:

The method to solve this problem calls for the use of the Gibbs standard free energy change:

ΔG = ΔrxnH - TΔSrxn

We know a reaction is spontaneous when ΔG is < 0, so to answer this question we need to solve for the temperature, T, at which ΔG becomes negative.

Now as mentioned in the hint, we need to determine  ΔrxnH and ΔSrxn, which are given by

ΔrxnH = ∑ ν x ΔfHº products - ∑ ν x ΔfHº reactants

where  ν  is the stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.

For ΔS we have likewise

ΔrxnS =  ∑ ν x ΔSº products - ∑ ν x ΔSº reactants

Thus,

ΔrxnH(kJmol⁻¹) =  2 x (-296.8) - 2 x ( -395.7 ) = 197.8 kJ

ΔrxnS ( JK⁻¹) = 2 x 248.2 + 205.1 - 2 x 256.8 = 187.9 JK⁻¹ = 0.1879 kJK⁻¹

So ΔG kJ =  197.8 - T(0.1879)

and the reaction will become spontaneous when the term  T(0.1879)  becomes greater that 197.8,

0 = 197.8 - 0.1879 T  ⇒ T = 1052 K

so the reaction is spontaneous at temperatures greater than 1052 K (780 ºC)

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Option A = atomic masses

Explanation:

In compound molecular mass is the sum of the individual atomic masses of the atoms.

For example

Compound NaCl.

atomic weight of sodium = 23 g/mol

atomic weight of chlorine = 35.5 g/mol

Molar mass of NaCl = 23+ 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Every atom consist of nucleus or a positive center. The protons and neutrons are present with in the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus. All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. The number of protons or number of electrons are the atomic number of an atom while the number of protons and number of neutrons are the mass number of an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of protons and electrons. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other.

How many valance electrons does group #11 have?
galina1969 [7]

It would have 11 valance electrons.

Example/Explanation:

Say we are talking about groups 10. Group 10 would have 10 valance electrons because of the atom's electronic arrangement in the periodic table.

The pH of a 0.65M solution of hydrofluoric acid HF is measured to be 1.68. Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of hydrof
sergey [27]

Answer:

Kₐ = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴

Explanation:

First lets write the equilibrium expression, Ka , for the dissociation of hydrofluoric acid:

HF + H₂O     ⇄   H₃O⁺ +   F⁻

Kₐ = [ H₃O⁺ ] [ F⁻ ] /[ [ HF ]

Since we are given the pH we can calculate the  [ H₃O⁺ ]  ( pH = - log [ H₃O⁺ ] , and because the acid dissociates into a 1: 1  relation , we will also have [F⁻ ]. The  [ HF ] is given in the question so we have all the information that is needed to  compute Kₐ.

pH = -log [ H₃O⁺ ]

1.68 = - log [ H₃O⁺ ]

Taking antilog to both sides of this equation:

10^-1.68 = [ H₃O⁺ ] ⇒ 2.1 X 10⁻²  M= [ H₃O⁺ ]

[ F⁻ ] = 2.1 X 10⁻² M

Solving for Kₐ :

Kₐ = ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) x  ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) / 0.65 = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴  

(Rounded to two significant figures, the powers of 10 have infinite precision )
