Explain how synthesis and decomposition reactions can be reverse of one another

1 answer:

5 0

Decompostion reaction have the general chemical reaction of: AB = A + B while synthesis reactions are of the general equation A + B = AB. These reaction can be the reverse of each other because ones building a compound (synthesis) and ones breaking down a compound (decomposition). For example, when reacting carbon and oxygen for a synthesis reaction we have: C + O2 = CO2 and for a decomposition reaction we have: CO2 = C + O2. Thus, these two reactions are the reverse of each other.

Bess [88]

Explanation:

$E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev$

where,

$E_n$ = energy of $n^{th}$ orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number

a) Energy change due to transition from n = 1 to n = ∞ ,hydrogen atom .

Z = 1

Energy of n = 1 in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_1=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{1^2}eV=-13.6 eV$

Energy of n = ∞ in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_{\infty}=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{(\infty)^2}eV=0$

Let energy change be E for 1 atom.

$E=E_{\infty}-E_1=0-(-13.6 eV)=13.6 eV$

$1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{-23}$

Energy for 1 mole = E'

$E'=6.022\times 10^{-23} mol^{-1}\times 13.6 eV$

$1 eV=1.60218\times 10^{-22} kJ$

$E'=6.022\times 10^{23}\times 13.6 \times 1.60218\times 10^{-22} kJ/mol$

$E'=1,312.17 kJ/mol$

The energy required to remove the electron in the ground state is 1,312.17 kJ/mol.

b) Energy change due to transition from n = 1 to n = ∞ , $B^{4+}$ atom .

Z = 5

Energy of n = 1 in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_1=-13.6\times \frac{5^2}{1^2}eV=-340 eV$

Energy of n = ∞ in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_{\infty}=-13.6\times \frac{5^2}{(\infty)^2}eV=0$

Let energy change be E.

$E=E_{\infty}-E_1=0-(-340eV)=340 eV$

$1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{-23}$

Energy for 1 mole = E'

$E'=6.022\times 10^{-23} mol^{-1}\times 340eV$

$1 eV=1.60218\times 10^{-22} kJ$

$E'=6.022\times 10^{23}\times 340\times 1.60218\times 10^{-22} kJ/mol$

$E'=32,804.31 kJ/mol$

Energy of n = ∞ in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_{\infty}=-13.6\times \frac{3^2}{(\infty)^2}eV=0$

Let energy change be E.

$E=E_{\infty}-E_1=0-(-122.4 eV)=122.4 eV$

$1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{-23}$

Energy for 1 mole = E'

$E'=6.022\times 10^{-23} mol^{-1}\times 122.4 eV$

$1 eV=1.60218\times 10^{-22} kJ$

$E'=11,809.55 kJ/mol$

The energy required to remove the electron in the ground state is 11,809.55 kJ/mol.

d) Energy change due to transition from n = 1 to n = ∞ , $Mn^{24+}$ atom .

Z = 25

Energy of n = 1 in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_1=-13.6\times \frac{25^2}{1^2}eV=-8,500 eV$

Energy of n = ∞ in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_{\infty}=-13.6\times \frac{25^2}{(\infty)^2}eV=0$

Let energy change be E.

$E=E_{\infty}-E_1=0-(-8,500 eV)=8,500 eV$

$1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{-23}$

(please, I need some help)

olga55 [171]

c) the salt solubility decreases with temperature.

Salts usually dissolve in water at a given temperature. When water cannot dissolve anymore salt at that same temperature, it is known as a saturation point. With most substances the solubility increases with increase in temperature. Same is the case for a salt like potassium nitrate. With increase in temperature the ability of it to dissolve in water increases. And so with decrease in temperature, the solubility decreases.
