Answer:
A. endothermic.
A. Yes, absorbed.
Explanation:
Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.
2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g) ΔH = 182 kJ
The enthalpy of the reaction is positive (ΔH > 0), which means that the reaction is endothermic.
182 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of HgO react (molar mass 216.59 g/mol). The heat absorbed when 72.8 g of HgO react is:
Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.
The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is
The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.
In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.
