Answer:

silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The main building block of a silicate mineral is silicon-oxygen tetrahedron. Silicon-oxygen tetrahedron belongs to the anionic group and the silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atom, arranged to determine the edges of a tetrahedron.

This silicate ion consists of one silicon atom, placed in the middle of a tetrahedron and surrounded by four oxygen atom, placed at vertices of a tetrahedron.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction AgBr(s) Picture Ag+(aq) + Br− (aq) is the solubility product constant, Ksp = 7.7 × 10−

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The reaction will be non spontaneous at these concentrations.

Explanation:

$AgBr(s)\rightarrow Ag^+(aq) + Br^- (aq)$

Expression for an equilibrium constant $K_c$ :

$K_c=\frac{[Ag^+][Br^-]}{[AgCl]}=\frac{[Ag^+][Br^-]}{1}=[Ag^+][Br^-]$

Solubility product of the reaction:

$K_{sp}=[Ag^+][Br^-]=K_c=7.7\times 10^{-13}$

Reaction between Gibb's free energy and equilibrium constant if given as:

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times R\times T\times \log K_c$

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times R\times T\times \log K_{sp}$

$\Delta G^o=-2.303\times 8.314 J/K mol\times 298 K\times \log[7.7\times 10^{-13}]$

$\Delta G^o=69,117.84 J/mol=69.117 kJ/mol$

Gibb's free energy when concentration $[Ag^+] = 1.0\times 10^{-2} M$ and $[Br^-] = 1.0\times 10^{-3} M$

Reaction quotient of an equilibrium = Q

$Q=[Ag^+][Br^-]=1.0\times 10^{-2} M\times 1.0\times 10^{-3} M=1.0\times 10^{-5}$

$\Delta G=\Delta G^o+(2.303\times R\times T\times \log Q)$

$\Delta G=69.117 kJ/mol+(2.303\times 8.314 Joule/mol K\times 298 K\times \log[1.0\times 10^{-5}])$

$\Delta G=40.588 kJ/mol$

For reaction to spontaneous reaction: $\Delta G$ .
For reaction to non spontaneous reaction: $\Delta G>0$ .

Since ,the value of Gibbs free energy is greater than zero which means reaction will be non spontaneous at these concentrations

Given the following reaction:

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Approx. 4⋅g.

Explanation:

Moles of sulfuric acid =10.0⋅g98.08⋅g⋅mol−1=0.102⋅mol.

Now we have the molar quantity of sulfuric acid that react; we also have the stoichiometric equation that shows the molar equivalence of sulfuric acid, and lithium hydroxide.

Given the stoichiometry,

mass of water =0.102⋅mol×2×18.01.g.mol−1=??⋅g.

Why did I multiply the mass in this equation by 2? Am I pulling your leg?

Name the following compound: C5Si7

skad [1K]

Answer:

Pentacarbon heptasilicide.

Explanation:

In order to name the following compound, we need to identify whether it is molecular or ionic.

Molecular compounds consist of non-metal atoms, while ionic compounds would have metal cations in their composition.

In the given compound, $C_5Si_7$ , we have two non-metals, carbon and silicon, meaning we should follow the molecular compound naming rules. The rules involve using prefixes to state the number of individual atoms.

The two prefixes required here are 'penta' for 'five' to indicate 5 carbon atoms present and 'hepta' for 'seven' to indicate 7 silicon atoms present.

The first part of the name would be pentacarbon (notice that the standard name for the first element is used). The second part would be heptasilicide (notice that the second atom would have an ending of -ide followed by the standard beginning of silicon).

Physical activity and exercise typically lead to __________.

polet [3.4K]

Physical activity and exercise typically lead to higher energy levels. As your body gets used to working hard consistently, you tend to be more prepared and in better physical condition. Your body begins to learn that you should burn up calories quickly to prepare to be active, and this results in increased energy levels even when you're not currently exercising.
