The bond between the 2 Cl atoms in a Cl₂ molecule is a covalent bond.
to break this covalent bond, energy is required.
when new bonds form, energy is released as the bond formation makes the molecule stable. molecules with low energy levels are usually stable.
To break the covalent bond, energy is required in other words energy is absorbed.
therefore to break the covalent bond in Cl₂ molecule
1)energy is absorbed
Answer:
-250.3kJ
Explanation:
Based in the reactions and using -<em>Hess's law-</em>:
(1) P₄(s) + 6 Cl₂(g) → 4PCl₃(g) ΔH₁ = -4439kJ
(2) 4PCl₅(g) → P₄(s) + 10Cl₂ ΔH₂ = 3438kJ
The sum of (1) + (2) is:
4PCl₅(g) → 4PCl₃(g) + 4 Cl₂ ΔH = -4439kJ + 3438kJ = -1001kJ
Dividing this reaction in 4:
PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂ ΔH = -1001kJ / 4 = <em>-250.3kJ</em>
Answer:
A hot spot is an area on Earth over a mantle plume or an area under the rocky outer layer of Earth, called the crust, where magma is hotter than surrounding magma. The magma plume causes melting and thinning of the rocky crust and widespread volcanic activity.
Hope this is what you mean be hot spot!
I hope this helps you!
Have a great day
The choices for this problem are bismuth, Bi; platinum, Pt; selenium, Se; calcium, Ca and copper, Cu. I think the correct answer would be selenium. The melting point of bismuth is at a temperature of 544.4 Kelvin. At a temperature of 525 K, it would exist as solid. Platinum melts at 2041.1 K. At 525 K, platinum would be in solid form. Selenium has a melting point at 494 K so that at a temperature of 525 K, it would exist in its liquid state. Calcium has a melting point of 1112 K so it would exist as solid at 525 K. Copper has a melting point at 1358 K, so it would still exist as solid at a temperature of 525 K. Therefore, the answer would only be selenium.
