The 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was shared by Paul Crutzen, F. Sherwood Rowland, and Mario Molina for their work concerning th

e formation and decomposition of ozone in the stratosphere. Rowland and Molina hypothesized that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the stratosphere break down upon exposure to UV radiation, producing chlorine atoms. Chlorine was previously identified as a catalyst in the breakdown of ozone into oxygen gas. Using the enthalpy of reaction for two reactions with ozone, determine the enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of chlorine with ozone. ( 1 ) ClO ( g ) + O 3 ( g ) ⟶ Cl ( g ) + 2 O 2 ( g ) Δ H ∘ rxn = − 122.8 kJ ( 2 ) 2 O 3 ( g ) ⟶ 3 O 2 ( g ) Δ H ∘ rxn = − 285.3 kJ ( 3 ) O 3 ( g ) + Cl ( g ) ⟶ ClO ( g ) + O 2 ( g ) Δ H ∘ rxn = ?

Answer:

The enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of chlorine with ozone is -162.5 kJ.

Explanation:

ClO ( g ) + O_3 ( g )\rightarrow Cl ( g ) + 2 O_2 ( g ),\Delta H^o_{1,rxn} =-122.8 kJ..[1]

2 O_3 ( g )\rightarrow 3O_2 ( g ),\Delta H^o_{2,rxn} = -285.3 kJ..[2]

O_3(g) + Cl(g)\rightarrow ClO (g)+O_2(g),\Delta H^o_{3,rxn}=?..[3]

The enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of chlorine with ozone can be calculated by using Hess's law:

[2] - [1] = [3]

\Delta H^o_{3,rxn}=\Delta H^o_{2,rxn}-\Delta H^o_{1,rxn}

=-285.3 kJ-(-122.8 kJ)=162.5 kJ

The enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of chlorine with ozone is -162.5 kJ.

What happens to gas particles when they are compressed?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

3)Some gas molecules move further apart and some move closer together.

Explanation:

because When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container. This force is called pressure. There are several units used to express pressure.

Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper U right arrow superscript 4 subscript 2 upper H e. What
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

\rm_{90}^{231}\text{Th}

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \,  _{2}^{4}\text{He} + X

Let's write X as a nuclear symbol.

\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \,  _{2}^{4}\text{He} + _{Z}^{A}\text{X}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the reaction arrow.

Then

235 = 4 + A , so A = 235 - 4 = 231, and

 92 = 2 + Z , so  Z =   92 - 2 =  90

And your nuclear equation becomes

\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \,  _{2}^{4}\text{He} +\, _{90}^{231}\text{X}

Element 90 is thorium, so  

\rm X = _{90}^{231}\text{Th}

Which substance is one that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means? (Element, pure)
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

gold wire (Au)

Explanation:

A substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means is an element.

Between the given options only gold wire is an element, Au.

A way of knowing that it is an element is noticing that its formula is a single symbol which corresponds to an element found in the periodic table, unlike a combination of said symbols (like NaCl or H₂O).

Which of the following statements is true? A) If Q < K, it means the forward reaction will proceed to form more products. B)
GuDViN [60]

Hey there!:

If Q = K, it means the reaction is at equilibrium.

The correct statments are as follows:

A. If Q < K, it means the forward reaction will proceed to form more products.

B. If Q > K, it means the backward reaction will proceed to form more reactants.

The statement C is true.

Hope this helps!
