Answer:

-1190.24 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy change in a chemical reaction that produces or consumes  gases is given by the expression:

ΔH = ΔU + Δngas RT

where  Δn gas is the change of moles of gas, R is the gas constant,and T is temperature.

Now from the given   balanced chemical reaction, the change in number of mol gas is equal to:

Δn gas = mole gas products - mole gas reactants =  2 - 5/2 = -1/2 mol

Sionce we know ΔU and the temperature (298 K), we are in position to calculate the change in enthalpy.

ΔH = -1189 x 10³ J + (-0.5 mol ) 8.314 J/Kmol x 298 K

ΔH = -1.190 x 10⁶ J = -1.190 x 10⁶ J x 1 kJ/1000 J = -1.190 x 10³ J

Complete the following radioactive decay problem.<br>222 86 RN to 4 2 HE + ?​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Properties of alpha radiations:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

What is the mass of one mole of H
lakkis [162]

Answer: The molar mass of a single hydrogen atom is 1 g/mol.

Explanation: The molar mass of a hydrogen molecule is 2 x 1 g/mol = 2 g/mol. Likewise, a molecule of oxygen gas has the formula O2 .

In the ocean, light is used by phytoplankton in order to produce sugar.  10% of the energy from the sun is available to the zooplankton that eat the phytoplankton, the rest of the energy is lost as heat or through powering body building/functions/reproduction.  Whatever eats the zooplankton receives 10% of that energy in order to grow

Considering that the mantle is 44.8% oxygen and 21.5% silicon by mass, calculate the mole ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms
horrorfan [7]

The mantle has a mass of around 4.278 X 10 ^2^4 kg that is around 68.4% of earth's mass.

So to calculate moles we need to first find out the mass of oxygen and silicon present in mantle. It is given that oxygen is 44.8% by mass in mantle and 21.5% by mass in mantle, therefore to calculate its mass, we need to use \text{mass percentage }=\frac{\text{mole of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}}\times100

Now, to calculate mass percentage of oxygen

44.8 =\frac{x}{4.278X10^2^4kg}\times100

x= 191.65\times10^2^2kg

Similarly the mass of silicon can be calculated

21.5 =\frac{x}{4.278X10^2^4kg}\times100

x=91.977\times10^2^2kg

Now, the moles of any substance is calculated by

\text{moles}= \frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}

\text{moles of oxygen}= \frac{191.65\times10^2^2kg}{2.6566962\times10^-^2^6kg}

where, mass of oxygen in kilograms is 2.6566962\times10^-^2^6kg

So,\text{moles of oxygen}=72.1384\times10^4^8\text{moles of O}

Similarly \text{moles of silicon}= \frac{91.977\times10^2^2kg}{4.663\times10^-^2^6kg}

\text{moles of silicon}=19.724\times10^4^8\text{moles of Si}

Now, to calculate mole ratio we need to divide every moles to the lowest calculated mole that is the moles of Si and round it off to the nearest whole number.

\text{mole ratio of oxygen}= \frac{72.138\times10^4^8kg}{19.724\times10^4^8kg}

=3.65\approx 4

\text{mole ratio of Silicon}=\frac{19.724\times10^4^8}{19.724\times10^4^8}

=1

\text{Mole ratio of Oxygen : Mole ratio of Silicon} = 4:1
