Fluorine. 

Because:- Atoms want to become stable, for an atom to become stable, they need 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, it only needs one more electron to become stable and have an octet. An octet is when an atom/element has 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine will need to gain an electron, it will have a negative charge, and become an anion.

Determine total H for bonds broken and formed, the overall change in H, and the final answer with units. Is it ENDOthermic or EX
Mrac [35]
  • E(Bonds broken) = 1371 kJ/mol reaction
  • E(Bonds formed) = 1852 kJ/mol reaction
  • ΔH = -481 kJ/mol.
  • The reaction is exothermic.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

2 H-H + O=O → 2 H-O-H

There are two moles of H-H bonds and one mole of O=O bonds in one mole of reactants. All of them will break in the reaction. That will absorb

  • E(Bonds broken) = 2 × 436 + 499 = 1371 kJ/mol reaction.
  • ΔH(Breaking bonds) = +1371 kJ/mol

Each mole of the reaction will form two moles of water molecules. Each mole of H₂O molecules have two moles O-H bonds. Two moles of the molecule will have four moles of O-H bonds. Forming all those bond will release

  • E(Bonds formed) = 2 × 2 × 463 = 1852 kJ/mol reaction.
  • ΔH(Forming bonds) = - 1852 kJ/mol

Heat of the reaction:

  • \Delta H_{\text{rxn}} = \Delta H(\text{Breaking bonds}) + \Delta H(\text{Forming bonds})\\\phantom{ \Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} = +1371 + (-1852) \\\phantom{ \Delta H_{\text{rxn}}} = -481 \; \text{kJ} / \text{mol}

\Delta H_{\text{rxn}} is negative. As a result, the reaction is exothermic.

Type the correct answer in each box.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

5SiO2 + 2CaC2 = 5Si + 2CaO + 4CO2

Explanation:

balancing equations is a lot of trial and error. My strategy to approaching this equation was to get the O's balanced. After trying several combonations I found that I needed 10 O's on each side of the equation for the other elements to match up. After I balanced the O's, I balanced my C's to 4 on each side. Then I balanced my Ca's to have 2 on each side. And last but not least I balanced my Si to have 5 on each side.

Two aircraft rivets, one of iron and the other of copper, are placed in a calorimeter that has an initial temperature of 10°c.
Dominik [7]

a) Copper is at a higher temperature, so the flow of heat will take place from copper to iron. Heat is a form of energy, which always flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.  

b) To determine the actual final temperature, the heat capacity of the calorimeter must be known. A calorimeter constant refers to a constant, which quantifies the heat capacity of a calorimeter. It may be determined by using a known amount of heat to the calorimeter and measuring the corresponding change in temperature of the calorimeter.

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 meters. At what height does the ball have a velocity of 10 meters/second?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

15m

Explanation:

vi = 0

vf = 10

a = -9.8

10^2 = 0 + 2(-9.8)(x2-x1) = -5.1

20-5.1 = 14.9m = 15m
