An ion of sulfur has a smaller atomic radius than a neutral atom of sulfur because it loses an electron when becoming an ion.

Answer is FALSE. Because sulfur has no tendency to loss an electron, since its electronic configuration is 16, it always want to gain 2 electron to form S^2-, following octet rule.

The answer would be yes if it can lose an electron(because when an atom loses an electron it form cation whose nuclear charge remain as same as neutral atom but number of electron decreases. As a result the nuclear charge has to act on a fewer number of electron and hence there will be more attraction between the nuclear charge and outermost electrons resulting in decrease in size) but it is not possible in case of sulfur.

Consider the change given below. At constant pressure, is work done by the system on the surroundings? By the surroundings on th
alexira [117]

Answer : At constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Explanation :

Work done : Any quantity that flows across the boundary of a system during a change in its state and it completely convertible into the lifting of a weight in the surroundings.

Formula for work done is:

w=-p_{ext}dV

Sign convention :

  • When volume expand then system work that means work done by the system.

w = (-ve)

  • When volume compress then surrounding work that means work done on the system.

w = (+ve)

The given reaction is:

Hg(l)\rightarrow Hg(g)

This is a evaporation process in which phase changes from liquid state to gaseous state at constant temperature.

At constant pressure, work depends only on volume.

In evaporation process, the volume expand that means work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Sign convention is, w = (-ve)

Thus, at constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

If the density of water is 1g/ml, what is the mass of 254ml of water?
Mariulka [41]
The mass of 254 mL of water is 254 g. Since the density of water is 1g/mL, we can simply multiply the density 1g/mL by 254 mL of water and get 254 g as our answer.  Since mL is in the numerator and denominator, mL cancels out and we are left with g only.
