Answer:

A solution that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a negative ion. 

Explanation:

Atoms in their original state have equal number of protons and electrons. The subatomic particles that take part in reaction are electrons. When the electrons of an atom involve in a reaction an atom may lose or gain electrons and reach ionic state.

Ions can be positively charged or negatively charged and the charge acquired depends on whether electrons are gained or lost. The process of losing electrons make an atom a positively charged ion and gaining electrons make an atom a negatively charged ion. 

In this case the number of electrons is more than the number of protons which means there is an excess of negative charge and the atom has become a negatively charged ion.

Answer: The value of $\Delta G^o$ of the reaction is 28.38 kJ/mol

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction:

$SO_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow SO_2Cl_2(g)$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{(reactant)}]$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(SO_2Cl_2(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(SO_2(g))})+(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(Cl_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H^o_f_{(SO_2Cl_2(g))}=-364kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(SO_2(g))}=-296.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(Cl_2(g))}=0kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-364))]-[(1\times (-296.8))+(1\times 0)]=-67.2kJ/mol=-67200J/mol$

The equation used to calculate entropy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_f_{(reactant)}]$

The equation for the entropy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta S^o_{(SO_2Cl_2(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta S^o_{(SO_2(g))})+(1\times \Delta S^o_{(Cl_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta S^o_{(SO_2Cl_2(g))}=311.9J/Kmol\\\Delta S^o_{(SO_2(g))}=248.2J/Kmol\\\Delta S^o_{(Cl_2(g))}=223.0J/Kmol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(1\times 311.9)]-[(1\times 248.2)+(1\times 223.0)]=-159.3J/Kmol$

To calculate the standard Gibbs's free energy of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\Delta H^o_{rxn}-T\Delta S^o_{rxn}$

where,

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ = standard enthalpy change of the reaction =-67200 J/mol

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}$ = standard entropy change of the reaction =-159.3 J/Kmol

Temperature of the reaction = 600 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=-67200-(600\times (-159.3))\\\\\Delta G^o_{rxn}=28380J/mol=28.38kJ/mol$

Hence, the value of $\Delta G^o$ of the reaction is 28.38 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Solar energy causes water to evaporate, which is the driving force of the water cycle. Water from the ocean evaporates and comes back down as rain and it gives life to the Earth and so it continues.
