Although xenon and neon are noble gases and therefore do not typically form bonds, weak attractive forces do exist between atoms
mariarad [96]

The statement that best explains why xenon has a higher boiling point than neon is that xenon has more electrons than neon.

<h3>What are intermolecular forces?</h3>

The term intermolecular forces are the force that hold matter together in a particular state such as solid liquid or gas. The more the electrons present, the greater the polarizability and the greater dispersion forces at work.

Thus, the statement that best explains why xenon has a higher boiling point than neon is that xenon has more electrons than neon.

A 10-gram sample of zinc loses 560 J of heat and has a final temperature of 100
grandymaker [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Initial temperature is 243.59°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The quantity of heat is calculated by multiplying the mass of a substance by its specific heat capacity and change in temperature.

That is; Q = m×c×ΔT

In this case;

Quantity of heat = 560 J

Mass of the Sample of Zinc = 10 g

Final temperature = 100°C

We are required to determine the initial temperature;

This can be done by replacing the known variables in the formula of finding quantity of heat,

Specific heat capacity, c, of Zinc = 0.39 J/g.°C

Therefore,

560 J = 10 g × 0.39 J/g°C × ΔT

ΔT = 560 J ÷ (3.9 J/°C)

   = 143.59°C

But, since the sample of Zinc lost heat then the temperature change will have a negative value.

ΔT = -143.59°C

Then,

ΔT  = T(final) - T(initial)

Therefore,

T(initial) = T(final) - ΔT

              = 100°C - (-143.59°C)

              = 243.59°C

Hence, the initial temperature of zinc sample is 243.59°C

CHEGG Consider the following reaction: LaTeX: Fe\left(CN\right)_6^{3-}+e^-\longrightarrow Fe\left(CN\right)_6^{4-}F e ( C N ) 6
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

E°= E°cathode- E° anode= 0.271-0.330= -0.59V

Explanation:

NB: the stoichiometry does not affect E°values,

And the more positive the E° values , the greater it's tendency to become spontaneous and hence irreversible, and the more negative the E° values the more likely to become less spontaneous and reversible, hence the above reaction is reversible
