Ethan is observing chemical and physical properties of a substance. He heats a substance and observes that the substance turns f

rom a brown solid to a black powder. He refers to several chemistry journals that claim this represents a chemical reaction. From his observation and research, he concludes that the substance goes through a chemical change when heated. How can Ethan best defend his conclusion?

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction which leads to change in chemical composition of the reactants due to which there occurs formation of a new compound.

For example, when Ethan heats a substance and observes that the substance turns from a brown solid to a black powder then it means heating has lead to a chemical change in the brown solid because of which it has turned into a black powder.

Whereas if there occurs no change in chemical composition of the reactants then we can say that a physical change has occurred.

For example, change in shape, size, mass etc of a substance are all physical changes.

Hence, we can conclude that Ethan best defend his conclusion as a chemical change.

<h2>Endothermic and Exothermic</h2>

Explanation:

  • An exothermic response discharges heat and endothermic absorbs to heat
  • The whole of the enthalpies of the reactants is more prominent than the product, the response will be exothermic
  • In the product that the items side has a bigger enthalpy, the reaction is endothermic
  • An exothermic method  is one that emits heat. This heat is transferred to the environment
  • An endothermic reactions is one in which heat must be provided to the system from the environment

Select correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups. Select correct examples of linear molecules for five elect
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.

                Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

So, hybridization of BeCl_{2} is as follows.

              Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]

                                    = \frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]

                                    = 2

Hybridization of BeCl_{2} is sp. Therefore, BeCl_{2} is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.

Similarly, hybridization of XeF_{2} is calculated as follows.

         Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]

                                    = \frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]

                                    = 5

Therefore, hybridization of XeF_{2} is sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2} is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options XeF_{2} is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
