calculate the heat required in joules to convert 18.0 grams of water ice at a temperature of -20 c to liquid water at the normal

KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat required to convert ice to ice at 0⁰C

= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

= 18 x 2.09 x 20

= 752.4 J .

heat required to convert ice at 0⁰C to water at 0⁰C

mass x latent heat of fusion

= 18 x 336

= 6048 J

Heat required to increase the temperature of water to 100⁰C

= 18 x 4.2 x 100

= 7560 J

Total heat required

7560 + 6048 + 752.4

= 14360.4 J

A tank at is filled with of sulfur tetrafluoride gas and of sulfur hexafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal g

dangina [55]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A 7.00 L tank at $21.4^oC$ is filled with 5.43 g of sulfur hexafluoride gas and 14.2 g of sulfur tetrafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas. Round each of your answers to significant digits.

Answer: The mole fraction of sulfur hexafluoride is 0.221 and that of sulfur tetrafluoride is 0.779

Explanation:

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

For sulfur hexafluoride:

Given mass of sulfur hexafluoride = 5.43 g

Molar mass of sulfur hexafluoride = 146.06 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sulfur hexafluoride}=\frac{5.43g}{146.06g/mol}=0.0372mol$

For sulfur tetrafluoride:

Given mass of sulfur tetrafluoride = 14.2 g

Molar mass of sulfur tetrafluoride = 108.07 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sulfur tetrafluoride }=\frac{14.2g}{108.07g/mol}=0.1314mol$

Total moles of gas in the tank = [0.0372+ 0.1314] mol = 0.1686 mol

Mole fraction is defined as the moles of a component present in the total moles of a solution. It is given by the equation:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$ .....(2)

where n is the number of moles

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\chi_{SF_6}=\frac{0.0372}{0.1686}=0.221$

$\chi_{SF_4}=\frac{0.1314}{0.1686}=0.779$

Hence, the mole fraction of sulfur hexafluoride is 0.221 and that of sulfur tetrafluoride is 0.779

Xenon forms several compounds with oxygen and fluorine. It is the most reactive non-radioactive noble gas because a. its large r

muminat

Answer:

d. its effective nuclear charge is lower than the other noble gases.

Explanation:

Xenon belongs to group O on the periodic table. Most of the elements here are unreactive.

Due to the large size of Xenon, the outermost electrons have very low effective nuclear charge. Effective nuclear charge is the effect of the positive charges of the nucleus on the electrons in orbits. This effect decreases outward as atomic shell increases.

Xenon has a very large atomic radius and there is weak a nuclear charge on the outermost electrons. The more electronegative elements would be able to attract some of its outermost electrons easily and form chemical bonds with xenon much more readily.
