Explanation:

The phosphorus trifluoride ( $PF_3$ ) has a piramidal geometry as can be seen in the First figure with the three F bonded to the P.

The phosphorus pentafluoride ( $PF_5$ ) has a bipiramidal geometry as can be seen in the Second figure with all the F bonded to the P.

Determine ΔH for the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 given these data: 2 Ca + 2 C + 3 O2 → 2 CaCO3 ΔH = −2,414 kJ C + O2 → CO2 ΔH = −

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The ΔH for the reaction is -456.5 KJ

Explanation:

Here we want to determine ΔH for the reaction;

Mathematically;

ΔH = ΔH(product) - ΔH(reactant)

In the case of the first reaction;

ΔH = ΔH(CaO) + ΔH(CO2) - ΔH(CaCO3) ...........................(*)

From the other reactions, we can get the respective ΔH for the individual molecule in the reaction

In second reaction;

Kindly note that for elements, molecule of gases, ΔH = 0

What this means is that throughout the solution;

ΔH(Ca) = 0 KJ

ΔH(O2) = 0 KJ

ΔH(C) = 0 KJ

Thus, in writing the equation for the subsequent chemical reactions, we shall need to write and equate the overall ΔH for the reaction to that of the product alone

So in the second reaction

ΔH = 2ΔH(CaCO3)

Thus;

-2414/2 = ΔH(CaCO3)

ΔH(CaCO3) = -1,207 KJ

Moving to the third reaction, we have;

ΔH = ΔH(CO2)

Hence ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 KJ

For the last reaction;

ΔH = ΔH(CaO)

Hence ΔH(CaO) = -1270 KJ

Going back to equation *

ΔH = ΔH(CaO) + ΔH(CO2) - ΔH(CaCO3)

Using the values of the ΔH of the respective molecules given above,

ΔH = -1270 + (-393.5) - (-1207)

ΔH = -456.5 KJ

kirza4 [7]

N = (PV)/RT
(T = 88.78 + 273 = 361.78K)
(R = 22.4/273 = 0.082)
= (5.49 x 22.03)/(0.082 x 361.78) = ?
Put it into the calculator. It's hard to do that on a mobile phone.

Explain why water is polar. Check all that apply. View Available Hint(s) Water is known as a polar molecule because Check all th

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct statements that you must check are:

The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).

The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.

Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).

As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will be higher around the O atoms.

Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.

Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).

Changes of state are a result of a change in the______of the matter.

jasenka [17]

Answer: -

Kinetic energy.

Explanation: -

Solids have the least kinetic energy and the highest intermolecular force of attraction among the three states of matter.

When heat energy is supplied to the solid, the kinetic energy of the solid particles increases. At some point, the kinetic energy becomes comparable to the intermolecular force of attraction. At that point solids change into liquids.

When further heat energy is given, at certain point the kinetic energy becomes far greater than the intermolecular forces of attraction. At that point it becomes gas.
