Answer:

  • 2K(s) + (1/8) S₈ (s) + (3/2) O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s)

Explanation:

The<em> standard enthalpy of formation </em>of a substance is the change in enthalpy that happens when one mole of the substance is formed from the elements in their standard states.

Thus, to calculate the standard state of formation of a compound you must:

  • 1. Identify the elements that form the compound
  • 2. Identify the standard form of each element
  • 3. Set the equation to form one mole of the compound, which may require to use fractional coefficients for some of the elements.

Applying that to our compound K₂SO₃

<u>1. Elements:</u>

  • potassium, K;
  • sulfur, S; and
  • oxygen, O.

<u />

<u>2. Standard forms of the elements:</u>

  • potassium: solid, K(s)
  • sulfur: solid, octatomic molecules, S₈ (s)
  • oxygen: diatomic gas, O₂(g)

<u>3. Reaction:</u>

  • K(s) + S₈ (s) + O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s)

Balance, keeping one mole of  K₂SO₃. You will need to use fractional coefficients for some elements:

  • 2K(s) + (1/8) S₈ (s) + (3/2) O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s) ← answer

Can someone please definition of atomic radius using , nucleus, valence electrons and energy.❤️
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

-The Atomic Radius of an element is the distance between the center of an atom

-nucleus and its outermost, or valence electrons. ... These changes are caused by the interaction between the positive charge of the protons

- nucleus and the negative charge of all the atom's electrons.

A fire in the Everglades damages a large area. Forest fire in Alaska of the same size experiences similar damages. Which ecosyst
grigory [225]

Answer:

Pinelands

Explanation:

Pines and many other plants that grow in this habitat thrive in open sunny areas. Periodic fires burn through the pines, killing back hammock species that would otherwise take over, by casting shade with their dense canopies. Within 15 to 25 years a fire-free, shade intolerant pine fores would be replaced by subtropical hardwoods. In the event of a fire, however, these pineland plants do well. They have evolved with several adaptations for survival. The pineland habitat is capable of returning very quickly after a fire has passed.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

That's a really cool question. Is a human was frozen, do you mean like, in a cold environment or literally ice? If so ice, then they might die from suffocation? But if they were burning the next, either in the desert or on fire, they might have already died from hypothermia or suffocation from the ice? Dunno.
