Answer:

E_{ionization}=5.45\times 10^{-19}\ J

Explanation:

E_n=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times \frac{1}{n^2}\ Joules

For transitions:

Energy\ Difference,\ \Delta E= E_f-E_i =-2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2})\ J=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J

So, n_i=2 and n_f=\infty (As the hydrogen has to ionize)

Thus,

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{2^2} - \dfrac{1}{{\infty}^2})\ J

\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{2^2})\ J

E_{ionization}=5.45\times 10^{-19}\ J

g The reaction; 4 Ag(s) + O2(g) ----&gt; 2 Ag2O(s), is exothermic. Which statement about the reaction is correct? (A) It is spon
melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. It is spontaneous only at low temperatures.

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum of reversible work that may be performed by a thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and pressure.

The spontaneity of a reaction is given by the equation:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

where:

ΔH: enthalpy variation

T: absolute temperature

ΔS: entropy variation

As the reaction is exothermic, ΔH<0

As the reaction order increases (the reagents are solid and gas and their product is solid), ΔS<0

Therefore, the reaction will be spontaneous when ΔG is negative.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

That is, the entropy term must be smaller than the enthalpy term.

Hence, the reaction will be spontaneous only at low temperatures.

In which instance is a gas most likely to behave as an ideal gas?A.) At low temperatures, because the molecules are always far a
kiruha [24]

Answer:

C.) At room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apart.

Explanation:

For gas to behave as an ideal gas there are 2 basic assumptions:

  • The intermolecular forces (IMF) are neglectable.
  • The volume of the gas is neglectable in comparison with the volume of the container.

<em>In which instance is a gas most likely to behave as an ideal gas?</em>

<em>A.) At low temperatures, because the molecules are always far apart.</em> FALSE. At low temperatures, molecules are closer and IMF are more appreciable.

<em>B.) When the molecules are highly polar, because IMF are more likely.</em> FALSE. When IMF are stronger the gas does not behave as an ideal gas.

<em>C.) At room temperature and pressure, because intermolecular interactions are minimized and the particles are relatively far apart.</em> TRUE.

<em>D.) At high pressures, because the distance between molecules is likely to be small in relation to the size of the molecules.</em> FALSE. At high pressures, the distance between molecules is small and IMF are strong.
