Answer:

Strontium (St)

Explanation:

The atom that will have a larger radius than zinc is strontium, Sr.

Atomic radius is defined as the half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.

Across the period atomic radii decreases progressively due to the increase in nuclear charge.
Down a group atomic radii increase progressively due to the successive shells of electrons being added.
Since strontium satisfies the criteria, it has the larger atomic radius.

Which of the following changes will always be true for a spontaneous reaction? (3 points)

Alika [10]

Answer is: - delta G.
The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG), at constant temperature and pressure, is: ΔG=ΔH−TΔS.
ΔH is the change in enthalpy.
ΔS is change in entropy.
T is temperature of the system.
When ΔG is negative, a reaction (occurs without the addition of external energy) will be spontaneous (exergonic).

Which relationship can be used to aid in the determination of the heat absorbed by bomb calorimeter?

NARA [144]

Answer:

ΔH = $q_{p}$

Explanation:

In a calorimeter, when there is a complete combustion within the calorimeter, the heat given off in the combustion is used to raise the thermal energy of the water and the calorimeter.

The heat transfer is represented by

$q_{com}$ = $q_{p}$

where

$q_{p}$ = the internal heat gained by the whole calorimeter mass system, which is the water, as well as the calorimeter itself.

$q_{com}$ = the heat of combustion

Also, we know that the total heat change of the any system is

ΔH = ΔQ + ΔW

where

ΔH = the total heat absorbed by the system

ΔQ = the internal heat absorbed by the system which in this case is $q_{p}$

ΔW = work done on the system due to a change in volume. Since the volume of the calorimeter system does not change, then ΔW = 0

substituting into the heat change equation

ΔH = $q_{p}$ + 0

==> ΔH = $q_{p}$

How many moles of oxygen are needed for the complete combustion of 29.2 grams of acetylene?

podryga [215]

Moles of Oxygen= 2.8075 moles

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

29.2 grams of acetylene

Required

moles of Oxygen

Solution

Reaction(Combustion of Acetylene) :

2 C₂H₂ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

Mol of Acetylene :

= mass : MW Acetylene

= 29.2 g : 26 g/mol

= 1.123

From equation, mol ratio of Acetylene(C₂H₂) : O₂ = 2 : 5, so mol O₂ :

= 5/2 x mol C₂H₂

= 5/2 x 1.123

= 2.8075 moles
