2 answers:

7 0

The entropy of the reaction can be calculated alike the enthalpy of the reaction which is equal to the difference between the summation of entropies of the products multiplied by their corresponding stoich coeff. and the summation of the entropies of the reactants multiplied by their corresponding stoich coeff. In this case, the answer is -146.8 J / mol K

Answer:

ΔS°rxn = -146.8 J/K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO₂(g)

The standard entropy change of the reaction (ΔS°rxn) is equal to the standard entropies of the products times their stoichiometric coefficients minus the standard entropies of the reactants times their stoichiometric coefficients.

ΔS°rxn = 2 mol × S°(NO₂(g)) - 2 mol × S°(NO(g)) - 1 mol × S°(O₂(g))

ΔS°rxn = 2 mol × 240.0 J/mol.K - 2 mol × 210.8 J/mol.K - 1 mol × 205.2 J/mol.K

ΔS°rxn = -146.8 J/K

The answer is: K is more reactive than Ca because K has to lose only one electron to complete its outermost shell.

Potassium is a chemical element with atomic number 19 (number of electrons is 19).

Electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉K 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

Potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

Periodic law is the arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.

For example all alkaline metals (I group of periodic table, Na, K, Cs...) loose one electron in chemical reaction and react vigorously with water.

Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle

Alekssandra [29.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.

The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

$_{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_4^2\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{98}^{245}\textrm{Cf}+_0^1\textrm{n}$

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.

This exercise uses the radioactive decay model.

Anna11 [10]

For radioactive decay, we can relate current amount, initial amount, decay constant and time using:
N = No x exp(-λt)

Half-life = ln(2)/λ
λ = ln(2) / 5730
N/No = 80% = 0.8
0.8 = exp( -ln(2)/5730 x t)
t = 1844 years
