Calculate the free energy change for the reaction:
1 answer:
Answer:
(D) - 16.6 kcal
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the Gibbs free energy for the given reaction is computed in terms of the Gibbs free energy of formation of each species involved in the chemical reaction:
Thus, it is found for nitrogen monoxide, oxygen and nitrogen dioxide the following Gibbs free energies of formation: 87.6, 0 and 51.3 kJ/mol respectively, therefore we compute:
The closest result is (D) - 16.6 kcal, as such difference is noticed when different sources for thermochemical data are used, in this case, the NIST data were used.
Best regards.

Answer:
The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures
Explanation:
If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.
We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.
The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.
Answer: The dotted line shows a new potential energy diagram with a shorter activation energy hill than that in the original potential energy diagram.
Explanation:
Activation energy is the extra amount of energy required by the reactants to cross the energy barrier to get converted into products.
When a catalyst is added, it lowers down the activation energy which is shown by a dotted line. As now less energy is required, more of reactants can cross the energy barrier and get converted to products and thus increase the rate of reaction.
A catalyst increases the rate of reaction for both exothermic and endothermic reactions.
