Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Explanation:

For ground state atoms you need to fill the orbitals in order.

Orbital s has max 2 electrons

Orbital p has max 6 electrons

Level 1 only has s orbital

Level 2 has s and p orbitals

Level 3 has s, p and d orbitals

You fill them in order until you reach 16 electrons:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Answer: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4$

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies. Sulphur with atomic number of 16 will have 16 electrons and thus the ground state electronic configuration is:

$S:16:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4$

A hot-water stream at 70°C enters an adiabatic mixing chamber with a mass flow rate of 3.6 kg/s, where it is mixed with a stream

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

a) 4.58 kg/s

b) 0.105 kW/K

Explanation:

a) For the energy balance

qin = qout

min*cin*Tin = mout*cout*Tout

Where min is the mass flow that is entering the system, cin is the specific heat of the substance that is entering, Tin is the temperature of the substance that is entering, and the out is from the substances that are leaving the system. Because there is only water in the system cin = cout. The energy balance will be then:

mh*Th + mc*Tc = (mh + mc)*Tmix

Where h is from the hot water, c is from the cold water, and mix for the mixture that leaves the chamber. Th = 70ºC + 273 = 343 K, Tc = 20ºC + 273 = 293 K, Tmix = 42ºC + 273 = 315 K

3.6*343 + mc*293 = (3.6 + mc)*315

293mc - 315mc = 3.6*315 - 3.6*343

- mc*(315 - 293) = -3.6*(343 - 315)

mc = 3.6*(343 - 315)/(315 - 293)

mc = 3.6*28/22

mc = 4.58 kg/s

b) The entropy balance is:

Sin + Sout - Sgen = ΔSsystem

Where Sin is the entropy of the entering substances, Sout the entropy that the leaving substances, and Sgen the entropy that is generated in the process.

The entropy variantion for an adiabatic process is 0, so ΔSsystem = 0

Sgen = Sin + Sout

The sum of entropy is:

m*cp*ln(Tfinal/Tinitial), where cp is the specific heat (4.184 kJ/kg.K)

Sgen = mc*cp*ln(Tmix/Tc) + mh*cp*ln(Tmix/th)

Sgen = 4.58*4.184*ln(315/293) + 3.6*4.184*ln(315/343)

Sgen = 1.3874 + (-1.2827)

Sgen = 0.105 kW/K

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide has an activation energy of 102 kJ/mol and ΔH°rxn = + 55 kJ/mol. What is the activati

ahrayia [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The activation energy of the reverse reaction is 47 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide follows:

$N_2O_5\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2$

We are given:

Activation energy of the above reaction (forward reaction) = 102 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of the reaction = +55 kJ/mol

As, the enthalpy of the reaction is positive, the reaction is said to be endothermic in nature.

To calculate the activation energy for the reverse reaction, we use the equation:

$E_a_{\text{(forward)}}=E_a_{\text{(backward)}}+|\Delta H|$

where,

$E_a_{\text{(forward)}}$ = Activation energy of the forward reaction = 102 kJ/mol

$E_a_{\text{(backward)}}$ = Activation energy of the backward reaction = ?

$\Delta H$ = Enthalpy of the reaction = +55 kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$102=E_a_{\text{(backward)}}+55\\\\E_a_{\text{(backward)}}=(102-55)=+47kJ/mol$

Hence, the activation energy of the reverse reaction is 47 kJ/mol
