Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.

When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.

For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form F^{-} ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms Na^{+} ion.

When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.

Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.

Which of the following is not the same as 0.00684 kg?
olchik [2.2K]

kg and all the given units are units used to measure mass.

kg is the standard unit to measure mass

lets find the value of 0.00684 kg in all the given units

a. dkg

1 kg is equivalent to 100 decagram (dkg)

therefore 0.00684 kg is = 100 dkg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 0.684 dkg

this is not the given value therefore this choice is incorrect

b. 1 kg is equivalent to 1000 g

therefore 0.00684 kg = 1000 g/kg x 0.00684 kg = 6.84 g

this is the given value so this is correct

c. 1 kg is equivalent to 100 000 centigrams (cg)

therefore 0.00684 kg = 100 000 cg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 684 cg

this is the given value so this is also correct

d) 1 kg is equivalent to 1 000 000 mg

therefore 0.00684 kg = 1 000 000 mg/kg x 0.00684 kg = 6 840 mg

this too is correct

the incorrect answer is A. 0.0684 dkg

For a particular reaction, ΔH∘=20.1 kJ/mol and Δ????∘=45.9 J/(mol⋅K). Assuming these values change very little with temperature,
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The temperature should be higher than 437.9 Kelvin (or 164.75 °C) to be spontaneous

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

ΔH∘=20.1 kJ/mol

ΔS is 45.9 J/K

<u>Step 2:</u> When is the reaction spontaneous

Consider temperature and pressure = constant.

The conditions for spontaneous reactions are:

ΔH <0

ΔS  > 0

ΔG <0  The reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures

ΔH <0

ΔS  <0

ΔG <0 The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures ( ΔH - T*ΔS <0)

ΔH >0

ΔS  >0

ΔG <0 The reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures ( ΔH - T*ΔS <0)

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate the temperature

ΔG <0 = ΔH - T*ΔS

T*ΔS > ΔH

T > ΔH/ΔS

In this situation:

T > (20100 J)/(45.9 J/K)

T > 437.9 K

T > 164.75 °C

The temperature should be higher than 437.9 Kelvin (or 164.75 °C) to be spontaneous

Determine the mass of water in kg, if 4300 cal of energy is placed in water, resulting in a temperature change to 101.0 oC from
Airida [17]

Answer:

0.5059kg

Explanation:

The heat absorbed for the water is determined using the equation:7

Q = C×m×ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat absorbed (4300cal)</em>

<em>C is specific heat (1cal/g°C)</em>

<em>m is the mass in grams</em>

<em>ΔT is change in °C (101.0°C - 92.5°C = 8.5°C)</em>

<em />

Replacing:

4300cal = 1cal/g°C×m×8.5°C

505.9g = m

In kg, the mass of water is:

<h3>0.5059kg</h3>
