What is the reaction corresponding to the standard enthalpy of formation of K2SO3(s)?
nalin [4]

Answer:

  • 2K(s) + (1/8) S₈ (s) + (3/2) O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s)

Explanation:

The<em> standard enthalpy of formation </em>of a substance is the change in enthalpy that happens when one mole of the substance is formed from the elements in their standard states.

Thus, to calculate the standard state of formation of a compound you must:

  • 1. Identify the elements that form the compound
  • 2. Identify the standard form of each element
  • 3. Set the equation to form one mole of the compound, which may require to use fractional coefficients for some of the elements.

Applying that to our compound K₂SO₃

<u>1. Elements:</u>

  • potassium, K;
  • sulfur, S; and
  • oxygen, O.

<u />

<u>2. Standard forms of the elements:</u>

  • potassium: solid, K(s)
  • sulfur: solid, octatomic molecules, S₈ (s)
  • oxygen: diatomic gas, O₂(g)

<u>3. Reaction:</u>

  • K(s) + S₈ (s) + O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s)

Balance, keeping one mole of  K₂SO₃. You will need to use fractional coefficients for some elements:

  • 2K(s) + (1/8) S₈ (s) + (3/2) O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s) ← answer

A flashlight has a resistance of 2.4 . What voltage is applied by the batteries if the current in the circuit is
hammer [34]

Answer : The voltage applied by the batteries is, 6.0 V

Solution : Given,

Resistance of flashlight = 2.4 ohm

Current in the circuit = 2.5 Ampere

Formula used :

V=IR

where,

V = applied voltage

I = current in the circuit

R = resistance of light

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

V=(2.5A)\times (2.4ohm)=6volt=6V

Therefore, the voltage applied by the batteries is, 6.0 V

2. What happens to the heat in an exothermic reaction?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

An exothermic reaction occurs when the temperature of a system increases due to the evolution of heat. This heat is released into the surroundings, resulting in an overall negative quantity for the heat of reaction
