A non-metal usually forms 2 covalent bonds in its compounds.How many electrons will it take in its valence shell?

In covalent bonds, non-metals share electrons to attain full valence shells.

This non-metal usually forms 2 covalent bonds. This leads me to believe that it has 6 valence electrons to begin with and will take 2 more, one from each bonds. Such that it ends with a full valence shell of 8 electrons.

Use the given data at 500 K to calculate ΔG°for the reaction
Anton [14]

Answer : The  value of \Delta G^o for the reaction is -959.1 kJ

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

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

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction (\Delta H^o).

\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}

\Delta H^o=[n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2O)}+n_{SO_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(SO_2)}]-[n_{H_2S}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2S)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}]

where,

\Delta H^o = enthalpy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

\Delta H_f^0 = standard enthalpy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\Delta H^o=[2mole\times (-242kJ/mol)+2mole\times (-296.8kJ/mol)}]-[2mole\times (-21kJ/mol)+3mole\times (0kJ/mol)]

\Delta H^o=-1035.6kJ=-1035600J

conversion used : (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now we have to calculate the entropy of reaction (\Delta S^o).

\Delta S^o=S_f_{product}-S_f_{reactant}

\Delta S^o=[n_{H_2O}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(H_2O)}+n_{SO_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(SO_2)}]-[n_{H_2S}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(H_2S)}+n_{O_2}\times \Delta S_f^0_{(O_2)}]

where,

\Delta S^o = entropy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

\Delta S_f^0 = standard entropy of formation

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\Delta S^o=[2mole\times (189J/K.mol)+2mole\times (248J/K.mol)}]-[2mole\times (206J/K.mol)+3mole\times (205J/K.mol)]

\Delta S^o=-153J/K

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy of reaction (\Delta G^o).

As we know that,

\Delta G^o=\Delta H^o-T\Delta S^o

At room temperature, the temperature is 500 K.

\Delta G^o=(-1035600J)-(500K\times -153J/K)

\Delta G^o=-959100J=-959.1kJ

Therefore, the value of \Delta G^o for the reaction is -959.1 kJ

Consider four different samples: aqueous LiBr , molten LiBr , aqueous AgBr , and molten AgBr . Current run through each sample p
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a) Aqueous LiBr = Hydrogen Gas

b) Aqueous AgBr = solid Ag

c) Molten LiBr = solid Li

c) Molten AgBr = Solid Ag

Explanation:

a) Aqueous LiBr

This sample produces Hydrogen gas, because the H+ (conteined in the water) has a reduction potential higher than the Li+ from the salt. Therefore the hydrogen cation will reduce instead of the lithium one and form the gas.

b) Aqueous AgBr

This sample produces Solid Ag, because the Ag+ has a reduction potential higher than the H+ from the water. Therefore the silver cation will reduce instead of the hydrogen one and form the solid.

c) Molten LiBr

In a molten binary salt like LiBr there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Li+, so it will reduce and form solid Li.  

c) Molten AgBr

The same as the item above: there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Ag+, so it will reduce and form solid Ag.

Will you obtain a pure solid in evaporation technique? Justify your answer
aniked [119]

Evaporation technique is used to separate a compound dissolved in a solvent by vaporizing the solvent and converting it to gaseous state. This leaves behind the solid residue present in the solution after the pure solvent is vaporized. The solvent vapors can be collected and condensed to get pure solvent. But the solid residue cannot be considered pure as it is the left over solid after all the solvent is evaporated. If the solution has some impurities, the solid left over includes all of the impurities. So, we cannot obtain a pure solid in evaporation technique.

If 41grams of water at 24°C absorbs 2208 J of heat energy, what will be the final temperature of the water?
aleksklad [387]
The problem can solved using the heat equation which is expressed as:

H = mCΔT

 where H is the energy absorbed or released, m is the mass of the substance, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

2208 J = 41 g x 4.18 J/g·°C x ( T - 24 °C) 
T = 36.88 °C
