-130KJ is the standard heat of formation of CuO.

Explanation:

The standard heat of formation or enthalpy change can be calculated by using the formula:

standard heat of formation of reaction = standard enthalpy of formation of product - sum of enthalpy of product formation

Data given:

Cu2O(s) ---> CuO(s) + Cu(s) ∆H° = 11.3 kJ

2 Cu2O(s) + O2(g) ---> 4 CuO(s) ∆H° = -287.9 kJ

CuO + Cu ⇒ Cu2O (-11.3 KJ)      ( Formation of Cu2O)

When 1 mole Cu20 undergoes combustion 1/2 moles of oxygen is consumed.

Cu20 + 1/2 02 ⇒ 2CuO (I/2 of 238.7 KJ) or 119.35 KJ

So standard heat of formation of  formation of Cu0 as:

Cu + 1/2 02 ⇒ CuO

putting the values in the equation

ΔHf = ΔH1 + ΔH2     (ΔH1 + ΔH2  enthalapy of reactants)

heat of formation = -11.3 + (-119.35)

                            = - 130.65kJ

-130.65 KJ is the heat of formation of CuO in the given reaction.

The standard heat of formation of CuO is -310.5 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To get the standard heat of formation, we have to multiply the second equation by 2 and reverse it and add it to the first equation, we will get the required compound.

2 Cu₂O(s) + O₂(g) → 4 CuO(s) ∆H° = -287.9 kJ ------ 1

Cu₂O(s) → CuO(s) + Cu(s)        ∆H° = 11.3 kJ ------ 2

Now multiplying the equation 2 by 2 and reversing it, we will get,

2 CuO(s) + 2 Cu(s) → 2 Cu₂O(s)     ∆H° = -22.6 kJ ----- 3

Now adding eq. 3 with eq. 1 we will get the formation of CuO as,

2 Cu(s) + O₂(g) → 2 CuO(s) ∆H° = -22.6 kJ - 287.9 kJ = -310.5 kJ

When atomic orbitals of two nuclei overlap, the mutual attraction between a negatively charged electron pair and the two positiv
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that when sharing of electrons take place between two combining atoms then the bond formed is known as a covalent bond. In general, a covalent bond is formed between two non-metal atoms.

For example, the compound HCl has a covalent bond between the hydrogen and chlorine atom. As hydrogen atom has 1 valence electron and chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons.

So, in order to attain stability both these atoms will share their valence electrons and hence, a covalent bond is formed.

On the other hand, when an electron is transferred from one atom to another then it tends to form an ionic bond.

For example, the compound NaCl has an ionic bond.

Thus, we can conclude that when atomic orbitals of two nuclei overlap, the mutual attraction between a negatively charged electron pair and the two positively charged nuclei forms a covalent bond.

The density of molasses is 2.28g/mL. What volume of molasses would have a mass of 392.8g?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

V = 172.28 mL

Explanation:

density is mass divided by volume

p = density

m = mass

V = volume

p = m/v

V = m/p

V = 392.8/2.28

V = 172.28 mL
