Answer:

Explanation:

Droplets or aerosols. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, droplets or tiny particles called aerosols carry the virus into the air from their nose or mouth. Anyone who is within 6 feet of that person can breathe it into their lungs.

Airborne transmission. Research shows that the virus can live in the air for up to 3 hours. It can get into your lungs if someone who has it breathes out and you breathe that air in.

Surface transmission. Another way to catch the new coronavirus is when you touch surfaces that someone who has the virus has coughed or sneezed on. You may touch a countertop or doorknob that's contaminated and then touch your nose, mouth, or eyes. The virus can live on surfaces like plastic and stainless steel for 2 to 3 days. To stop it, clean and disinfect all counters, knobs, and other surfaces you and your family touch several times a day.

Fecal-oral. Studies also suggest that virus particles can be found in infected people's poop. But experts aren't sure whether the infection can spread through contact with an infected person's stool. If that person uses the bathroom and doesn't wash their hands, they could infect things and people that they touch.

Using standard heats of formation, calculate the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction. 2H2S(g) 3O2(g)2H2O(l) 2SO2

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

$\Delta _rH=-1124.14kJ/mol$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the standard enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is stood for the enthalpy of reaction, for the given reaction:

$2H_2S(g) +3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l) +2SO_2(g)$

We set up the enthalpy of reaction considering the enthalpy of formation of each species in the reaction at the specified phase and the stoichiometric coefficient:

$\Delta _rH=2\Delta _fH_{H_2O,liq}+2\Delta _fH_{SO_2,gas}-2\Delta _fH_{H_2S,gas}-3\Delta _fH_{O_2,gas}$

In such a way, by using the NIST database, we find that:

$\Delta _fH_{H_2O, liq}=-285.83kJ/mol\\\\\Delta _fH_{SO_2, gas}=-296.84kJ/mol\\\\\Delta _fH_{O_2,gas}=0kJ/mol\\\\\Delta _fH_{H_2S,gas}=-20.50kJ/mol$

Thus, we plug in the enthalpies of formation to obtain:

$\Delta _rH=2(-285.73kJ/mol)+2(-296.84kJ/mol)-2(-20.50kJ/mol)-3(0kJ/mol)\\\\\Delta _rH=-1124.14kJ/mol$

Draw a structural formula for the alkene you would use to prepare the alcohol shown by hydroboration/oxidation.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because the image of the alcohol is missing. However, I will try give you a general picture of the reaction known as hydroboration of alkenes.

This reaction occurs in two steps. In the first step, -BH2 and H add to the same face of the double bond (syn addition).

In the second step, alkaline hydrogen peroxide is added and the alcohol is formed.

Note that the BH2 and H adds to the two atoms of the double bond. The final product of the reaction appears as if water was added to the original alkene following an anti-Markovnikov mechanism.

Steric hindrance is known to play a major role in this reaction as good yield of the anti-Markovnikov like product is obtained with alkenes having one of the carbon atoms of the double bond significantly hindered.
