A 410 L volume of nitrogen gas is cooled from 61 C to -25 C. What is the volume of the nitrogen at the lower temperature if all
Lena [83]

Answer:

304.5\text{L}

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the volume of the nitrogen gas at the lower temperature

From Charles' law, we know that volume and temperature (in Kelvin) are directly proportion

The mathematical relationship is:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}\text{ = }\frac{V_2}{T_2}

Where:

V1 is the initial volume which is 410 L

V2 is the final volume which is unknown

T1 is the initial temperature which we will convert to Kelvin by adding 273.15 K, we have it as 61 + 273.15 = 334.15 K

T2 is the final temperature which we have to convert to Kelvin by adding it to 273.15K : We have that as -25 + 273.15 = 248.15 K

Substituting the values, we have it that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{410}{334.15}\text{ = }\frac{V_2}{248.15} \\  \\ V_2\text{ = }\frac{248.15\text{ }\times410}{334.15} \\  \\ V_2\text{ = 304.5 L} \end{gathered}

Which equation is a decomposition reaction? Li2CO3 Right arrow. Li2O + CO2 Zn + HCl Right arrow. ZnCl2 + H2 Na2O + CO2 Right arr
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Li₂CO₃ ⇒ Li₂O + CO₂ is a decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a single substance decomposes, producing two or more different substances. In other words, in this type of reaction two or more substances are formed from a compound. The atoms that form a compound separate to give the products according to the formula:

AB → A + B

It can occur spontaneously, or be aided by a catalyst, heat, or electrolysis.

In this case:

Li₂CO₃ ⇒ Li₂O + CO₂ It is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound decomposes into two or more compounds. So it is a decomposition reaction.

What is the difference between electronegativity and ionization energy
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

These properties are basically the inverse of each other.

Explanation:

  • Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract an electron and make it a part of its orbital.

        Ionization enthalpy, is the energy required to remove an electron from                        an atom.

  • More electronegative atoms have high ionization enthalpies If the energy required to remove an electron is less, i.e. the atom has more tendency to give electron, it would thus have less tendency to take electron.
  • Values and tendency of electronegativity in the periodic table: In general, the electronegativity of a non‐metal is  larger than that of metal. For the elements of one period the electronegativities increase from  left to right across the periodic table. For the elements of one main group the electronegativities  decrease from top to bottom across the periodic table. To the subgroup elements, there’s no  regular rule.
  • Values and tendency of ionization potential in the periodic table: The first ionization energy is the energy which is  required when a gaseous atom/ion loses an electron to form a gaseous +1 valence ion. The  energy which is required for a gaseous +1 valence ion to loose an electron to form a gaseous +2  valence ion, is called the second ionization energy of an element.  In general, the second ionization energy is higher than the first ionization energy of an element. The first ionization energies of the elements of one period increase from the left to the right  across the periodic table. According to the elements of main group, the first ionization energies  generally decreases from top to bottom across the periodic table.
