Answer and Explanation:

Mercury combines with sulfur as follows -

Hg + S = HgS

Hg = 200,59

S = 32,066 Therefore 1.58 g of Hg will react with -

1.58 multiply with 32,066 divide by 200,96 of sulfur.

= 0.25211 g S

This will form 1.58 + 0.25211 g HgS = 1.83211 g HgS

The amount of S remaining = 1.10 - 0.25211 = 0.84789 g

I2(g) + Cl2(g)2ICl(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surroundings when 1.62 mol

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation of iodine gas = $\Delta H_f_{(I_2)}=62.438 kJ/mol$

Enthalpy of formation of chlorine gas = $\Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)}=0 kJ/mol$

Enthalpy of formation of ICl gas = $\Delta H_f_{(ICl)}=17.78 kJ/mol$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$I_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ICl(g),\Delta H_{rxn}=?$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(ICl)})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(I_2)})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)})]$

$=[2\times 17.78 kJ/mol]-[1\times 0 kJ/mol+1\times 62.436 kJ/mol]=-26.878 kJ/mol$

Enthaply change when 1.62 moles of iodine gas recast:

$\Delta H= \Delta H_{rxn}\times 1.62 mol=(-26.878 kJ/mol)\times 1.62 mol=-43.542 kJ$

Entropy of the surrounding = $\Delta S^o_{surr}=\frac{\Delta H}{T}$

$=\frac{-43.542 kJ}{298 K}=\frac{-43,542 J}{298 K}=-146.11 J/K$

1 kJ = 1000 J

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.

Part 1: Name the type of chemical reaction that occurs when calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3).

liberstina [14]

Answer:

For 1: Neutralization reaction

For 2: Zinc is more reactive than lead and less reactive than calcium.

Explanation:

For (1):

When a base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water molecule, it is known as a neutralization reaction. The general equation follows:

$HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O$

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and nitric acid follows:

$Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

For (2):

A single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The general chemical equation follows:

$A+BX\rightarrow AX+B$

where,

Metal A is more reactive than metal B

The reactivity of metals is judged by the reactivity series where a metal lying above in the series is more reactive than the metal lying below it.

From the reactivity series below,

Zinc lies above in the series than lead thus is more reactive and will easily replace lead from its aqueous solution.

While zinc lies below in the series than calcium thus is less reactive and will not easily replace calcium from its aqueous solution.

$Zn(s)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)+Pb(s)$

$Zn(s)+CaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$
