Answer:

Formula weight of H₂O molecule is  18.02 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Formula weight of H₂O = ?

Atomic mass of H = 1.008 amu

Atomic mass of O = 16.00 amu

Solution:

Formula weight:

"It is the sum of all the atomic weight of atoms present in given formula"

Formula weight of H₂O = 2×1.008 amu + 1×16.00 amu

Formula weight of H₂O = 18.02 amu

Thus, formula weight of H₂O molecule is  18.02 amu.

Use the data given below to construct a Born-Haber cycle to determine the heat of formation of KCl. Δ H°(kJ) K(s) → K(g) 89 K(g)
AURORKA [14]

Explanation:

The net equation will be as follows.

          K(s) + Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow KCl(s)

So, we are required to find \Delta H_{formation} for this reaction.

Therefore, steps involved for the above process are as follows.

Step 1:  Convert K from solid state to gaseous state

          K(s) \rightarrow K(g),    \Delta H_{1} = 89 kJ

Step 2:  Ionization of gaseous K

           K(g) \rightarrow K^{+}(g) + e^{-},    H_{2} = 418 KJ

Step 3:  Dissociation of Cl_{2} gas into chlorine atom .

            \frac{1}{2} Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow Cl(g),   \Delta H_{3} = \frac{244}{2} = 122 KJ

Step 4: Iozination of chlorine atom.

              Cl(g) + e^{-} \rightarro Cl^{-}(g),      H_{4} = -349 KJ

Step 5:  Add K^{+} ion and Cl^{-} ion formed above to get KCl .

              K^{+}(g) + Cl^{-}(g) \rightarrow KCl(s),   H_{5} = -717 KJ

Now, using Born-Haber cycle, value of enthalpy of the formation is calculated as follows.

      \Delta H_{f} = \DeltaH_{1} + \Delta H_{2} + \Delta H_{3} + \Delta H_{4} + \Delta H_{5}

                  = 89 + 418 + 122 - 349 - 717

                  = - 437 KJ/mol

Thus, we can conclude that the heat of formation of KCl is - 437 KJ/mol.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the reaction. 8H +( aq) + Cr 2O 7 2–( aq) + 3SO 3 2–( aq) → 2Cr 3+( aq) +
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

SO₃²⁻ is the reducing agent and Cr₂O₇²⁻ is the oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction:

3SO₃²⁻ (aq) + 3H₂O (l) → 3SO₄²⁻ (aq) + 6H⁺ (aq) + 6e⁻                  

Reduction reaction:

Cr₂O₇²⁻ (aq) + 14H⁺ (aq) + 6e⁻ → 2Cr ³⁺ (aq) + 7H₂O (l)

Now, adding the oxidation and the reduction reactions we get the full net reaction:

Cr₂O₇²⁻ (aq) + 3SO₃²⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) → 2Cr ³⁺ (aq) + 3SO₄²⁻ (aq) + 4H₂O(l)

Since, the S in SO₃²⁻, present in the +4 oxidation state is oxidized to +6 oxidation state in SO₄²⁻, by the loss of 2e⁻.

<u>Therefore, SO₃²⁻ is the reducing agent. </u>

And, the Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻, present in the +6 oxidation state is getting reduced to +3 oxidation state, Cr ³⁺, by the gain of 6e⁻.

<u>Therefore, Cr₂O₇²⁻ is the oxidizing agent.</u>
