A student is using a coffee-cup calorimeter to determine the enthalpy change of the endothermic reaction of two aqueous solution

s. After both solutions are added to the cup, the student neglects to put the lid on the cup. This would cause the magnitude of the calculated ΔH° value to be: the answer is: too small, since the solution will absorb heat from the room. But why? Wouldn't depend on if the reaction releases or absorbs heat. Wouldn't it be too large because heat escapes the cup? I'm so confused

Answer:

Explanation:

In all calorimetric experiment , the calorimeter must be isolated from the surrounding . Otherwise the heat change in the experiment can not be determined with precision .

The reaction is endothermic . Hence, there is lowering of temperature due to absorption of heat in the reaction equal to ΔH°. The value of ΔH° can be calculated by measuring fall in the temperature of the content . The fall in the temperature will be less when heat is allowed to come from the surrounding . Less fall of temperature will result in less ΔH° to be calculated .

Hence in the given experiment , if the student neglects to put lid on the cup , the experiment will give less value of ΔH°.

5. An element whose highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel <br> contain electrons
Mumz [18]

Answer:

                    Transition Element

Explanation:

                     Transition elements are defined as those elements which can form at least one stable ion and has partially filled d-orbitals. They are also characterized by forming complex compounds and having different oxidation states for a single metal element.

                      Transition metals are present between the metals and the non metals in the periodic table occupying groups from 3 to 12. There general electronic configuration is as follow,

                                                   (n-1)d ¹⁻¹⁰ns ¹⁻²

The general configuration shows that for a given metal, the d sublevel will be in lower energy level as compared to corresponding s sublevel. For example,

Scandium is present in fourth period hence, its s sublevel is present in 4rth energy level so its d sublevel will be present in 3rd energy level respectively.

Hence, we can conclude that for transition metals the electron are present in highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel .

Draw four possible Lewis structures of the molecule xenon trioxide, XeO3, one each with zero, one, two, or three Xe−O double bon
algol [13]

Answer:

See the image below  

Explanation:

To draw a Lewis structure of a molecule, you place the least electronegative atom (Xe) as the central atom, with the more electronegative atoms (O) surrounding it.

Then you distribute the electrons around the atoms, giving every one an octet and placing any extra electrons on the central atom.

This procedure gives you four possible Lewis structures, so the actual structure is a resonance hybrid of them all.

Structure D has no formal charges, so it is the major contributor.

An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has
VikaD [51]
<span>For an atom to have no charge, that is neutral, the number of electrons should be the same to the number of electrons. If the number of electron is more than the number of proton, the atom is negatively charged. Also, when the number of proton is more than the number of electron, the atom is positively charged. The answer to this item is letter C. </span>

How many moles of hydrogen are in 1.1 mol of quinine?
koban [17]
To know the answer to this problem, you can search online or in any textbooks for the chemical formula of quinine. This is essential because you can detect from the chemical formula the number of hydrogen atoms. 

Quinine has the chemical formula C₂₀H₂₄N₂O₂. So, the ratio of hydrogen to quinine is 24/1.

<em>Moles of hydrogen = 1.1 mol quinine * 24/1 = 26.4 mol</em>
