Answer: B. 1:2
Explanation: Beryllium and chlorine forms a binary ionic compound. Ionic compound is formed when a metal loses its electrons to a receiving non metal. Beryllium (metal) has two valence electrons while chlorine (nonmetal) has seven valence electrons, and so a beryllium atom has to give out its two valence electrons to attain a duplet stable structure while a chlorine atom will gain one electron to attain its stable octet structure. In the reaction between beryllium and chlorine, two atoms of chlorine have to accept the two electrons from one beryllium atom to attain their stable octet structure.
The formula of the compound formed is BeCl2.
Answer: The early atmosphere
Explanation: Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence. The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen.
Answer: 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.
Explanation: There are two types of reaction on the basis of amount of heat absorbed or released.
1. Endothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which reactants absorb heat to form the products. The energy of the reactants is less than the energy of the products.
2. Exothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which heat is released from the chemical reactions. The energy of the products is less than the reactants.
Sign convention for
: This value is negative for exothermic reactions and positive for endothermic reactions.
For the given chemical reaction,
Energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, Hence, this reaction will be a type of exothermic reaction and energy will be released during this chemical change.
Amount of energy released = (350 - 372) kJ = -22kJ
Negative sign symbolizes the energy is being released. So, 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.
