Sulphur is located in the third period and group 16. The general electronic configuration of group 16 is ns^{2} np^{4} therefore the maximum number of valency electrons in group 16 is 6. The electronic configuration of sulphur is [Ne] 3s^{2} 3p^{4}3d^{0}. Sulphur has six valency electrons whereas sulphur can have more than eight electrons in its valency shell as it have an empty d-shell electrons can accumulate in the empty d-shell. The complete d-shell and the P_{z} orbital will be empty. As each orbital can accept 2 electrons, sulphur can have 12 valency electrons in its valency shell.

Calcium Carbide (CaC2) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C2 2- ). The reaction with water involves several s
rjkz [21]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.

Answer:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

Explanation:

When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.

Calculate ΔH∘f for NO(g) at 435 K, assuming that the heat capacities of reactants and products are constant over the temperature
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

91383 J

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction can be represented as:

\frac{1}{2} N_{2(g)}+\frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)}     ------>NO_{(g)}

Given that:

The standard enthalpy of formation of NO(g) is 91.3 kJ⋅mol−1 at 298.15 K.

The equation below shown the reaction between the enthalpy of reaction at a particular temperature to another.

\delta H^0__{R,T_2} = \delta H^0__{R,T_1} } + \int\limits^{T_2}_{T_1} {\delta C_p(T')} \, dT'

where:

\delta H^0__{R} = enthalpy of reaction

{\delta C_p(T')} = the difference in the heat capacities of the products and the reactants.

∴

\delta H^0__{R,435K} = \delta H^0__{R,298.15K} + \int\limits^{435}_{298.15} {\delta C_p(T')} \, dT'

= 1(91300 J.mol^{-1} ) +\int\limits^{435}_{298.15} [{(29.86)-\frac{1}{2}(29.38)-\frac{1}{2}29.13}]J.K^{-1}.mol^{-1} \, dT'

= 91300 J + (0.605 J.K⁻¹)(435-298.15)K

= 91382.79 J

\delta H^0__{R,435K} ≅ 91383 J

What is the empirical formula of a compound containing 5.03 grams carbon, 0.42 grams hydrogen, and 44.5 grams chlorine?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The right choice is CHCl₃

Explanation:

  • <u>To find the empirical formula firstly, change the mass to moles.</u>

For Carbon :

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (5.03 g / 12  g/mol )=  0.42 mol

<u><em>For Hydrogen  :</em></u>

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (0.42 g / 1  g/mol )=  0.42 mol

<u><em>For Chlorine :</em></u>

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (44.5 g / 35.5 g/mol )=  1.25 mol

The ratio for Carbon and Hydrogen is  1 : 1

0.42 mol / 042 mol =1.00

  • <u> Then find a ratio between the moles. </u>

The ratio of Chlorine to both Carbon and Hydrogen is 3:1

1.25 mol / 0.42 mol = 2.98 ≅ 3

So the ratio is 1 C : 1 H : 3 Cl.

So, the right choice is CHCl₃

Carbon usually forms four bonds one to Hydrogen and 3 to Chlorine atoms.

Chlorine usually forms one bond to Carbon atom.

Hydrogen usually forms one bond Carbon atom.
