Friedrich Mohs devised a scale that tested mineral <span>hardness, </span>which means the resistance of a mineral to being scratched. This scale (from 1 to 10) is known as the Mohs Hardness Test. Objects are used as tools to perform the hardness test:
<span>fingernail (hardness = 2,5).
copper penny (hardness = 3)
glass plate or steel knife (hardness = 5,5)
<span>steel file (hardness = 6,5).
According to this scale </span></span><span>hardness of the mineral is between 5,5 and 6,5.</span>

95. Using the standard enthalpy of formation data in Appendix G, calculate the bond energy of the carbon-sulfur double bond in C
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

+523 kJ.

Explanation:

The following data will be used to calculate the average C-S bond energy in CS2(l).

S(s) ---> S(g)

ΔH = 223 kJ/mol

C(s) ---> C(g)

ΔH = 715 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of formation of CS2(l)

ΔH = 88 kJ/mol

CS2(l) ---> CS2(g)

ΔH = 27 kJ/mol

CS2(g) --> C(g) + 2S(g)

So we must construct it stepwise.

1: C(s) ---> C(g) ΔH = 715 kJ

2: 2S(s) ---> 2S(g) ΔH = 446 kJ

adding 1 + 2 = 3

ΔH = 715 + 446

= 1161 kJ

3: C(s) + 2S(s) --> C(g) + 2S(g) ΔH = 1161 kJ

4: C(s) + 2S(s) --> CS2(l) ΔH = 88 kJ

adding (reversed 3) from 4 = 5

ΔH = -1161 + 88

= -1073 kJ

5: C(g) + 2S(g) --> CS2(l) ΔH = -1073 kJ

6: CS2(l) ---> CS2(g) ΔH = 27 kJ

adding 5 + 6 = 7

ΔH = -1073 + 27

= -1046 kJ

7. C(g) + 2S(g) --> CS2(g) ΔH = -1046 kJ

Reverse and divide by 2 for C-S bond enthalpy

= -(-1046)/2

= +523 kJ.
