I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The smallest particle of a covalently bonded compound is a molecule. Molecules are made up of atom s that are held together by chemical bonds. Hope this answers the question.

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:

12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: $n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}$

∴ mass of S in 2 moles of S: $w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g$

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:

$x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ$

$\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J$

$(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)$

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J

.7 liters of CO represents how many molecules?

Ronch [10]

Answer:

1.88 × 10²² Molecules of CO

Explanation:

At STP for an ideal gas,

Volume = Mole × 22.4 L/mol

Or,

Mole = Volume / 22.4 L/mol

Mole = 0.7 L / 22.4 L/mol

Mole = 0.03125 moles

Now,

No. of Molecules = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 0.03125 × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 1.88 × 10²² Molecules of CO

Select all statements that are correct:____

topjm [15]

Answer:

A, C and D are correct.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the vapor pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent as stated by the Raoult's law:

$P_{vap}^{solution}=x_{solvent}P_{solvent}$

Since the solute is not volatile, the mole fraction of the solute is not taken into account for vapor pressure of the solution, therefore A is correct whereas B is incorrect.

Moreover, since the higher the vapor pressure, the weaker the intermolecular forces due to the fact that less more molecules are like to change from liquid to vapor and therefore more energy is required for such change, we can evidence that both C and D are correct.

Best regards.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

A. The conditions are:

I. Reactant particles must collide with the right orientation.

II. There must be effective collisions.

III. The reactant particles must possess enough energy to break old bonds so that new bonds can be formed.

B. The activated complex occurs where the maximum energy of the reaction is attained along the reaction pathway, that is, at the peak of the activation energy.
