c. table salt is a metalloid with properties of both reactants
The question is incomplete. Complete question is:
Which list represents the classification of the
elements nitrogen, neon, magnesium, and
silicon, respectively?
(1) metal, metalloid, nonmetal, noble gas
(2) nonmetal, noble gas, metal, metalloid
(3) nonmetal, metalloid, noble gas, metal
(4) noble gas, metal, metalloid, nonmetal
.................................................................................................................
Answer: The correct answer is option 2) nonmetal, noble gas, metal, metalloid
Reason:
1) Non-metal are bad conductors of electricity. Also non-metal are electronegative in nature. Hence, among the provided elements, nitrogen satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a non-metal.
2) Noble gas are the elements which have completely filled outermost shell. Hence, among the provided elements, Neon satisfied the criteria.
3) Metal are good conductors of electricity. Also metal are electropositive in nature. Hence, among the provided elements, magnesium satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a metal.
4) Metalloid have conductivity better than non-metals but poor than conductors. Hence, among the provided elements, Silicon satisfied the criteria. Hence, it is a metalloid.
We’ll be using the equation:
dG = dH - TdS (replace ‘d’ with triangle)
I’m going to assume 0 degrees Celsius.
At 0 C (273 K):
dG = dH - TdS
dG = (285,400 J) - (273 K)(-137.14 J/K)
dG = 285,400 J + 37,439.2 J
dG = 322,839.2 J or 322.84 kJ
The dG of this reaction is +322.84 kJ. This reaction is not considered spontaneous.
This answer, in this instance, would be D. If the temperature used in the question is not 0 degrees C, replace the temperature that I used for calculation with the Kelvin temperature given in the problem (K = C + 273), and simplify to find the answer.
Answer:
Single displacement reaction
Explanation:
2AI + 6HCI —> 2AlCl3 + 3H2
From the above reaction, we see clearly that Al displaces H from HCl. This is clearly a single displacement reaction.
