It’s either a or b, but I’m not sure which one it really is, but I hoped I helped a little /:).
For AlCl3 to be a Lewis acid, it would have to react in such a way that it accepted a lone pair from some other atom or molecule from a Lewis base.AlCl3 has an electron-deficient aluminum atom. It has only six electrons in its valence shell. It readily accepts electrons from other atoms, in an attempt to get a full valence shell of eight electrons.
A. True.
Very true. The quicker or slower the reactants are used up the faster or slower the rate of reaction, and the faster or slower the products are formed, the faster or slower the rate of reaction.
Answer:
D +405.0kJ mol-¹
Explanation:
Since bond energy is the energy required to break a bond, the energy of dissociation of X₂H₆ = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.
Since there is one X-X bond and six X-H bonds,
Bond energy of one X-X bond + Bond energy of six X-H bonds = energy of dissociation of X₂H₆.
Since bond energy of one X-H bond = 395 kJ mol⁻¹, then
Bond energy of one X-X bond + Bond energy of six X-H bonds = energy of dissociation of X₂H₆
Bond energy of one X-X bond + 6 × one X-H bond = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.
Bond energy of one X-X bond + 6 × 395 kJ mol⁻¹ = +2775 kJmol⁻¹.
Bond energy of one X-X bond + 2370 kJ mol⁻¹ = 2775 kJmol⁻¹
Bond energy of one X-X bond = 2775 kJmol⁻¹ - 2370 kJ mol⁻¹
Bond energy of one X-X bond = +405 kJmol⁻¹
