No, it is not feasible. Three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond

Answer: No it is not feasible.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here the non metal is sulfur having an oxidation state of -2 and thus the formula of an ionic compound containing sulfur can never be X_3S as the neutral compound is formed by exchange of oxidation states. Thus the subscript of X has to be 2.

g A gas is compressed in a cylinder from a volume of 20.0 L to 2.0 L by a constant pressure of 10.0 atm. Calculate the amount of
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.

Explanation:

Thermodynamic work is called the transfer of energy between the system and the environment by methods that do not depend on the difference in temperatures between the two. When a system is compressed or expanded, a thermodynamic work is produced which is called pressure-volume work (p - v).

The pressure-volume work done by a system that compresses or expands at constant pressure is given by the expression:

W system= -p*∆V

Where:

  • W system: Work exchanged by the system with the environment. Its unit of measure in the International System is the joule (J)
  • p: Pressure. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the pascal (Pa)
  • ∆V: Volume variation (∆V = Vf - Vi). Its unit of measurement in the International System is cubic meter (m³)

In this case:

  • p= 10 atm= 1.013*10⁶ Pa (being 1 atm= 101325 Pa)
  • ΔV= 2 L- 20 L= -18 L= -0.018 m³ (being 1 L=0.001 m³)

Replacing:

W system= -1.013*10⁶ Pa* (-0.018 m³)

Solving:

W system= 18234 J

<u><em>The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.</em></u>
