Which Formula represents an asymmetrical molecule?

In thermodynamics, we determine the spontaneity of a reaction by the sign of ΔG. In electrochemistry, spontaneity is determined

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

For A: The standard cell potential of the reaction is 4.4 V

For B: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is $-8.50\times 10^5J$

For C: The reaction is spontaneous as written.

Explanation:

For A:

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2Li(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2Li^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)$

The given half reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Li(s)\rightarrow Li^+(aq.)+e^-;E^o_{Li^+/Li}=-3.04V$ ( × 2)

Reduction half reaction: $Cl_2(g)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.);E^o_{Cl_2/2Cl^-}=+1.36V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

Here, chlorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=1.36-(-3.04)=4.4V$

Hence, the standard cell potential of the reaction is 4.4 V

For B:

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

where,

n = number of electrons transferred = $2mol\text{ e}^-$

F = Faradays constant = $96500J/V.mol\text{ e}^-$

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard cell potential = 4.4 V

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times 4.4=-849200J=-8.50\times 10^5J$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is $-8.50\times 10^5J$

For C:

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction must be negative.

From above, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction is coming out to be negative.

Hence, the reaction is spontaneous as written.

Calculate the number of miles of magnesium,chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.00 moles of magnesium perchlorate

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

5.00 mol Mg

10.0 mol Cl

40.0 mol O

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Moles of Mg(ClO₄)₂: 5.00 mol

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of Mg

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Mg is 1:1.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 1 mol Mg/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 5.00 mol Mg

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of Cl

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:2.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 2 mol Cl/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 10.0 mol Cl

Step 4: Calculate the number of moles of O

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:8.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 8 mol O/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 40.0 mol O

Calculate the freezing point (0°C) of a 0.05500 m aqueous solution of glucose.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

-0.1767°C (Option A)

Explanation:

Let's apply the colligative property of freezing point depression.

ΔT = Kf . m. i

i = Van't Hoff factot (number of ions dissolved). Glucose is non electrolytic so i = 1

m = molality (mol of solute / 1kg of solvent)

We have this data → 0.095 m

Kf is the freezing-point-depression constantm 1.86 °C/m, for water

ΔT = T° frezzing pure solvent - T° freezing solution

(0° - T° freezing solution) = 1.86 °C/m . 0.095 m . 1

T° freezing solution = - 1.86 °C/m . 0.095 m . 1 → -0.1767°C

What is the nuclear binding energy for thorium-234? 2.78 × 10-10 J 3.36 × 10-14 J 1.67 × 1017 J 5.35 x 10-23 J

grin007 [14]

The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.

Compare and contrast the concepts of average mass and relative mass. Which one is more accurate, and why? Why is the one you did

Brut [27]

Answer:

Relative and average atomic mass both describe properties of an element related to its different isotopes.

Explanation:However, relative atomic mass is a standardized number that's assumed to be correct under most circumstances, while average atomic mass is only true for a specific sample.
