A chemist fills a reaction vessel with a 0.105g mercurous chloride Hg2Cl2 solid, 0.926 M mercury (I) (Hg2^2+) aqueous solution,

and 0.573 M chloride (Cl^-) aqueous solution at a temperature of 25.0°C.
Under these conditions, calculate the reaction free energy ΔG for the following chemical reaction:
Hg2Cl2(s) ---->Hg2^2+ (aq) + 2Cl^- (aq)

Answer:

ΔG = 98.67 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let' s consider the following reaction.

Hg₂Cl₂(s) → Hg₂²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

The standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) for the reaction is:

ΔG° = 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂²⁺(aq)) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Cl⁻(aq)) - 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂Cl₂(s))

where,

ΔG°f: standard Gibbs free energy of formation

ΔG° = 1 mol × (154.72 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × (-134.08 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-215.06 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = 101.62 kJ

This is standard Gibbs free energy change per mole of reaction.

The Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔG = ΔG° - R.T.lnQ

where,

R: ideal gas constant

T: absolute temperature

Q: reaction quotient

ΔG = ΔG° - R.T.ln([Hg₂²⁺].[Cl⁻]²)

ΔG = 101.62 kJ/mol + (8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K) . (298.2 K) . ln [(0.926).(0.573)²]

ΔG = 98.67 kJ/mol

After undergoing alpha decay, an atom of radium-226 becomes
Zanzabum
The answer is b. radon-222. The alpha decay means that it will emit an alpha particle when decays. The alpha particle has two protons and two neutrons. So Radium(88) minus two protons will become Radon(86). And the atomic mass will become 226-4=222.

Case #4
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 1.) His action is not justified because he could have done something else like talking with someone.

2.) Some of the negative consequences could be Mr. King could lose his job  or worse not be able to teach again.

3.) Some other options were having him retake the test or talking to the head of the school, or many other things.
