The subscript 2 indicate that there are two atoms of chlorine in the compound.

Explanation

Subscript in the chemical formula indicate the number of atoms of the element immediately before the subscript.

In MgCl₂ there are two(2) atoms of chlorine since Subscript 2 is immediately after chlorine.

What is the energy of a photon of green light whose frequency is 6.85 X 1014/seC?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Frequency of photon = is 6.85 X 10¹⁴ sec⁻¹

Energy of photon , E = hv

where h is Planck's constant, v is the frequency of photon

E = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s x 6.85 X 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

E = 4.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore, the energy of a photon of green light is 4.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.

the molar enthalpy of formation of carbondioxide is -393kjmol. calculate the heat released by the burning of 0.327g of carbon to

Arte-miy333 [17]

This is equivalent to having a standard enthalpy change of reaction equal to 10.611 kJ

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy change of reaction, Δ H ∘ , is given to you in kilojoules per mole, which means that it corresponds to the formation of one mole of carbon dioxide.

C (s] + O 2(g] → CO 2(g]

Remember, a negative enthalpy change of reaction tells you that heat is being given off, i.e. the reaction is exothermic.

First to convert grams of carbon into moles,

use carbon's molar mass(12.011 g).

Moles of C = mass in gram / molar mass

= 0.327 g / 12.011 g

Moles of C = 0.027 moles

Now, in order to determine how much heat is released by burning of 0.027 moles of carbon to form carbon-dioxide.

= 0.027 moles C $\times$ 393 kJ

Heat released = 10.611 kJ.

So, when 0.027 moles of carbon react with enough oxygen gas, the reaction will give off 10.611 kJ of heat.

This is equivalent to having a standard enthalpy change of reaction equal to 10.611 kJ

You’re going on a plane from Alaska to Florida and you’re taking your bike. It’s the middle of the winter. You fill up your tire

12345 [234]

Answer:

5.52atm

Explanation:

Using the pressure law formula:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the question, the following information were provided;

P1 = 4.72 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = -3.50°C = -3.50 + 273 = 269.5K

T2 = 42°C = 42 + 273 = 315K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

4.72/269.5 = P2/315

CROSS MULTIPLY

4.72 × 315 = 269.5 × P2

1,486.8 = 269.5P2

P2 = 1,486.8 ÷ 269.5

P2 = 5.52atm

A concentration cell is constructed by using the same half-reaction for both the cathode and anode. What is the value of standar

Akimi4 [234]

Solution :

A cell that is concentrated is constructed by the same half reaction for the anode as well as he cathode.

We know,

In a standard cell,

the reduction half cell reaction is :

$Ag^+(aq)+e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) E^0 = -0.80 \ V$

The oxidation half ell reaction :

$Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq) + e^- \ E^0= +0.80 \ V$

Thus the complete reaction of the cell is :

$Ag^+(aq)+ Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq)+Ag(s)$

$E^0$ cell = $E_R - E_L = 0.00 \ \text{volts}$
