650.J is the same amount of energy as? <br>2720cal<br>1550cal<br>650.cal<br>2.72cal
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

<u>Ans: 650 J = 155 calories</u>


<u>Given:</u>

Energy in joules = 650 J

<u>To determine:</u>

The energy in calories

<u>Explanation:</u>

1 joule = 0.2388 calories

Therefore, 650 joules = 0.2388 calories * 650 J/1 J = 155 calories

Using the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab, calculate the standard reaction free energy of the following chemical
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

43.0 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy (ΔG) measures the total energy that is presented in a thermodynamic system that is available to produce useful work, especially at thermal machines. In a reaction, the value of the variation of it indicates if the process is spontaneous or nonspontaneous because the free energy intends to decrease, so, if ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.

The standard value is measured at 25°C, 298 K, and the value of free energy varies with the temperature. It can be calculated by the standard-free energy of formation (G°f), and will be:

ΔG = ∑n*G°f products - ∑n*G°f reactants, where n is the coefficient of the substance in the balanced reaction.

By the balanced reaction given:

2NOCl(g) --> 2NO(g) + Cl2(g)

At ALEKS Data tab:

G°f, NOCl(g) = 66.1 kJ/mol

G°f, NO(g) = 87.6 kJ/mol

G°f, Cl2(g) = 0 kJ/mol

ΔG = 2*87.6 - 2*66.1

ΔG = 43.0 kJ

A. Explain, in terms of particles, why NaCl(s) does not conduct electricity.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Ionic bonds hold charged particles in solid NaCl together, such that they are unable to move or conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Consider an electric current that flows through a conductor: charge moves in a uniform direction from one end of the conductor towards the other.

Thus, there are two conditions for a substance to conduct electricity:

  • The substance shall contain charged particles, and
  • These charged particles shall be free to move across the substance.

A conductor of electricity shall meet both requirements.

Now, consider the structure of solid NaCl \rm NaCl\;(s). NaCl is an ionic compound. It contains an ocean of oppositely charged ions:

  • Positive \rm Na^{+} ions, and
  • Negative \rm Cl^{-} ions.

Ions carry charge. Thus, solid NaCl contains charged particles and satisfies the first condition.

Inside solid NaCl \rm NaCl\;(s), electrostatic attractions ("ionic bonds") between the oppositely charged ions hold these ions in rigid ionic lattices. These ions are unable to move relative to each other. As a result, they cannot flow through the solid to conduct electricity. Under solid state, NaCl is unable to satisfy the second condition.

As a side note, melting NaCl into a liquid breaks the ionic bonds and free the ions from the lattice. Liquid NaCl is a conductor of electricity.
