Answer:

The energy absorbed in the first move is greater than the energy released in the second move

Explanation:

Electrons require (absorb) energy to move to a higher energy level when there is a large external heat source, the presence of an electric field or by colliding with other electrons

And the amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the change in the energy state between the initial energy level of the electron and the destination energy level

Therefore, given that the energy level of the electron at level 2 is higher than the energy level of the electron when at level 1, we have;

The difference in the energy level between level 4 and level 1 is greater than the difference in the energy level between level 4 and level 2 and more energy is absorbed and therefore, released when the electron moves from level 1 to level 4 than when the electron drops from level 4 to level 2.

The most likely result is that 'the energy absorbed in the first move is greater than the energy released in the second move'.

Consider the intermediate chemical reactions. 2 equations. First: upper C a (s) plus upper C upper O subscript 2 (g) plus one ha

DochEvi [55]

<u>Answer:</u> When the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The overall chemical reaction follows:

$CaO(s)+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $Ca(s)+CO_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H_1=-812.8kJ$

(2) $2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s)$ $\Delta H_2=-1269kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (\Delta H_1)]+[\frac{1}{2}\times (-\Delta H_2)]$

Hence, when the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2

yawa3891 [41]

The % yield of Ca(OH)₂ : 62.98%

<h3>Further eplanation </h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂

mass CaO= 4.2 g

mol CaO(MW=56,0774 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{4.2}{56,0774 g/mol}\\\\mol=0.075$
