The electron configurations of two unknown elements X and Y are shown.

Svetllana [295]

X: 1S²2S²2P⁶

Y: 1S²2S²2P⁶3S²3P⁶

The statement which is most likely correct about the two elements is

They will not react because both have a complete outermost shell and are stable.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The P orbital can hold a maximum of 6 electrons,therefore the 2P orbital for x and 3P orbital for Y which are outermost subshell are fully filled .

This make element Y and x stable since they cannot react either by gaining or losing electrons.

At 298 K, what is the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for the following reaction?

9966 [12]

Answer:

(a). The Gibbs free energy change is 2.895 kJ and its positive.

(b). The Gibbs free energy change is 34.59 J/mole

(c). The pressure is 14924 atm.

(d). The Gibbs free energy of diamond relative to graphite is 4912 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 298 K

Suppose, density of graphite is 2.25 g/cm³ and density of diamond is 3.51 g/cm³.

$\Delta H\ for\ diamond = 1.897 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H\ for\ graphite = 0 kJ/mol$

$\Delta S\ for\ diamond = 2.38 J/(K mol)$

$\Delta S\ for\ graphite = 5.73 J/(K mol)$

(a) We need to calculate the value of $\Delta G$ for diamond

Using formula of Gibbs free energy change

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta G= (1897-0)-298\times(2.38-5.73)$

$\Delta G=2895.3$

$\Delta G=2.895\ kJ$

The Gibbs free energy change is positive.

(b). When it is compressed isothermally from 1 atm to 1000 atm

We need to calculate the change of Gibbs free energy of diamond

Using formula of gibbs free energy

$\Delta S=V\times\Delta P$

$\Delta S=\dfrac{m}{\rho}\times\Delta P$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta S=\dfrac{12\times10^{-6}}{3.51}\times999\times10130$

$\Delta S=34.59\ J/mole$

(c). Assuming that graphite and diamond are incompressible

We need to calculate the pressure

Using formula of Gibbs free energy

$\beta= \Delta G_{g}+\Delta G+\Delta G_{d}$

$\beta=V(-\Delta P_{g})+\Delta G+V\Delta P_{d}$

$\beta=\Delta P(V_{d}-V_{g})+\Delta G$

Put the value into the formula

$0=\Delta P(\dfrac{12\times10^{-6}}{3.51}-\dfrac{12\times10^{-6}}{2.25})\times10130+2895.3$

$0=-0.0194\Delta P+2895.3$

$\Delta P=\dfrac{2895.3}{0.0194}$

$\Delta P=14924\ atm$

(d). Here, $C_{p}=0$

So, The value of $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ at 900 k will be equal at 298 K

We need to calculate the Gibbs free energy of diamond relative to graphite

Using formula of Gibbs free energy

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta G=(1897-0)-900\times(2.38-5.73)$

$\Delta G=4912\ J$

Hence, (a). The Gibbs free energy change is 2.895 kJ and its positive.

(b). The Gibbs free energy change is 34.59 J/mole

(c). The pressure is 14924 atm.

(d). The Gibbs free energy of diamond relative to graphite is 4912 J.

Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of a substance's molecules.

Komok [63]

True

According to the molecular theory. The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy.

Does melting sea ice in the Arctic increase sea level directly? Why or why not? How would melting over Antarctica be different?

poizon [28]

Explanation:

The ice melting would make more water because ice is water and if it melts it make water.
