<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. It involves loss of electrons.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Oxidation occurs when electrons are lost by an atom while reduction refers to the gain of electrons by an atom.
  • <u><em>In this case, magnesium atom reacts with sulfur to form magnesium sulfide by loosing two electrons and forming magnesium ion (Mg2+). Therefore magnesium undergoes oxidation.</em></u>
  • Sulfur, on the other hand will gain electrons to form Sulfide ions, therefore it undergoes reduction.
  • Therefore;<em><u> In magnesium sulfide (MgS), magnesium loses two electrons and becomes a cation with a positive-two charge. Likewise, sulfur obtains the two electrons lost from magnesium and becomes an anion with a negative-two charge. However, the overall charge of MgS is zero.</u></em>

It takes 281.7 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electrons from the atoms on the surface of lithium metal. If lithium metal is ir
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule

Explanation:

We know that total energy

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}  ------------ (1)

Here h = plank's constant = 6.62 × 10^{-34} J s

c = speed of light = 3 × 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

\lambda = 261 nm = 261  × 10^{-9} m

Put all these values in equation (1) we get

E = 7.6   × 10^{-19} J

We know that

Total energy = Energy to remove an electron + K.E of electron

Energy to remove an electron = \frac{281.7 (1000)}{(6.023)10^{23} }

Energy to remove an electron = 4.67  × 10^{-19} J

K.E of electron = Total energy - Energy to remove an electron

K.E of electron = 7.6   × 10^{-19} -  4.67  × 10^{-19}

K.E of electron = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule

Therefore the maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule

A mixture of XO2 (P = 3.00 atm) and O2 (P = 1.00 atm) is placed in a container. This elementary reaction takes place at 27 °C: 2
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

a) \triangle G^{0} = 7.31 kJ/mol

b) K_{-1} = 0.0594 m^{-1} s^{-1}

Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

                                     2 XO_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) \rightleftharpoons 2XO_{3} (g)

Initial pressure                  3              1              0

Pressure change             2P           1P             2P

Total pressure = (3-2P) + (1-P) + (2P)

Total Pressure = 3.75 atm

(3-2P) + (1-P) + (2P) = 3.75

4 - P = 3.75

P = 4 - 3.75

P = 0.25 atm

Let us calculate the pressure of each of the components of the reaction:

Pressure of XO2 = 3 - 2P = 3 - 2(0.25)

Pressure of XO2 =2.5 atm

Pressure of O2 = 1 - P = 1 -0.25

Pressure of O2 = 0.75 atm

Pressure of XO3 = 2P = 2 * 0.25

Pressure of XO3 = 0.5 atm

From the reaction, equilibrium constant can be calculated using the formula:

K_{p} = \frac{[PXO_{3}] ^{2} }{[PXO_{2}] ^{2}[PO_{2}] }

K_{p} = \frac{0.5^2}{2.5^2 *0.75} \\K_{p} = 0.0533 = K_{eq}

Standard free energy:

\triangle G^{0} = - RT ln k_{eq} \\\triangle G^{0} = -(0.008314*300* ln0.0533)\\\triangle G^{0} = 7.31 kJ/mol

b) value of k−1 at 27 °C, i.e. 300K

K_{1} = 7.8 * 10^{-2} m^{-2} s^{-1}

K_{c} = K_{p}RT\\K_{c} = 0.0533* 0.0821 * 300\\K_{c} = 1.313 m^{-1}

K_{-1} = \frac{K_{1} }{K_{c} } \\K_{-1} = \frac{7.8 * 10^{-2}  }{1.313 }\\K_{-1} = 0.0594 m^{-1} s^{-1}
