The particles are given more energy and start to vibrate faster. In certain temps the particles vibrate so much that their ordered structure breaks down to the point the solid melts into liquid
Answer:
0.1186mol Hg
Explanation:
To calculate the number of moles using the mass we divide the mass by the molar mass.
23.79g ÷ 200.59g/mol = 0.1186mol Hg
Answer: C REDUCTION
Explanation:
Guessed after knowing oxidation isn't the answer. Got right
Answer:
a. positive
b. negative
c. positive
d. negative
Explanation:
In a exothermic reaction, heat is written as a product (del H is negative), whereas in an endothermic reaction heat is written on the reaction side (del H is positive).
For a, it is endothermic process. We know this because to go from solid to liquid you need to put energy into the system. When we put energy into a chemical system it is said to be an endothermic reaction.
For b, it is exothermic reaction. This is because you have to lose the extra energy to go from less ordered states (gas) to more ordered state (liquid). Gas is less ordered because its molecules are freely moving and such. Another way of thinking about this question is just putting the heat on product side and think if I was going in reverse direction I would put heat in product because I would need to add heat to liquid to turn to gas (and if heat is added to product side we know its exothermic). Two ways of thinking whichever you prefer.
The rest have similar explaination.
