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.

: How much energy is required to heat an iron nail with a mass of 25.5 grams from 65°C until it becomes red hot at 720°C?
Evgen [1.6K]

Q = mct  

-Q= energy in Joules  

-m = mass in grams  

-c= specific heat capacity in J/g degree C  

-t = delta temperature in degrees Celsius  

So,  

Q = m c t  

Q = (7 grams)(0.448J/g C)(750 C - 25 C)  

Q = 2273.6 J  

Your final answer = 2273.6 Joules

A sample of carbon dioxide gas occupies a volume of 250 mL at 25c what volume will it occupy at 95c
anzhelika [568]

Considering the Charles's law, the sample of carbon dioxide gas will occupy 308.72 mL.

<h3>Charles's law</h3>

Charles's law establishes the relationship between the temperature and the volume of a gas when the pressure is constant. This law says that the volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas: for a given sum of gas at constant pressure, as the temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases and as the temperature decreases, the volume of the gas decreases.

Mathematically, Charles's law states that the ratio between volume and temperature will always have the same value:

\frac{V}{T} =k

Considering an initial state 1 and a final state 2, it is fulfilled:

\frac{V1}{T1} =\frac{V2}{T2}

<h3>Final volume in this case</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • V1= 250 mL
  • T1= 25 C= 298 K (being 0 C=273 K)
  • V2= ?
  • T2= 95 C= 368 K

Replacing in Charles's law:

\frac{250 mL}{298 K} =\frac{V2}{368 K}

Solving:

V2=368 K\frac{250 mL}{298 K}

<u><em>V2= 308.72 mL</em></u>

Finally, the sample of carbon dioxide gas will occupy 308.72 mL.

Which change favors the products in this reversible reaction n2o4(g)+58 kj 2no2 (g)?
Ksenya-84 [330]

<span>According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change, the position of equilibrium will move so that the concentration of products of chemical reaction increase, if:</span>

<span>1) increase temperature, because this endothermic reaction.</span>

<span>2) increase concentration of reactant.</span>

<span>3) decrease pressure of the system, so reaction moves to direction where is more molecules.</span>
