The nucleus of an atom located at the center of the atom contains nearly all of the atoms mass. This has a positive charge because of the protons inside it. There are also neutrons with zero charge. Electrons are orbiting outside the atom. The answer to this problem is d. <span>contains nearly all of the atoms volume.</span>

Answer: d. contains nearly all of the atoms volume.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest entity of a substance which consists of three subatomic particles called as neutrons, protons and electrons.

The most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the centre of an atom and is called as nucleus. Protons and neutrons are collectively called as nucleons as they are present in the nucleus and contribute to the mass of the nucleus. Nucleus is very dense as it occupies very less space and most of the space in the atom is empty.

Protons carry positive charge and neutrons does not carry any charge. Thus the nucleus is positively charged.

Electrons carry negative charge and revolve around the nucleus in fixed energy paths called as orbitals.

The boiling point of chloroform is 61.7 C. The enthalapy of vaporization is 31.4 kj/mol. Caculate the entropy of vaporization. D

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Δ S = 93.8 J/mol-K

Explanation:

Given,

Boiling point of chloroform = 61.7 °C

= 273 + 61.7 = 334.7 K.

Enthalapy of vapourization = 31.4 kJ/mol.

Using Gibbs free energy equation

Δ G = Δ H - T (ΔS)

at equilibrium (when the liquid is boiling), Δ G = 0

so, 0 = ΔH - T (Δ S)

T (Δ S) = Δ H

and ΔS = ΔH / T

Δ S = (31400 J/mol.) / 334.7 K

Δ S = 93.8 J/mol-K

If 3 moles of a compound use 12 J of energy in a reaction, what is the Hreaction in kJ/mol

igomit [66]

Answer:

$\Delta _RH=4x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{mol}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the molar enthalpy of reaction is obtained by dividing the involved energy by the reacting moles:

$\Delta _RH=\frac{12J}{3mol} =4\frac{J}{mol}$

Thus, it is important to notice that the compound "uses" the energy, it means that it absorbs the energy, for that reason the sign is positive. Moreover, computing the result in kJ/mol we finally obtain:

$\Delta _RH=4\frac{J}{mol}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} =4x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{mol}$

Best regards.

When molten sulfur reacts with chlorine gas, a vile-smelling orange liquid forms that has an empirical formula of SCl. The struc

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The structure is shown below.

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) is the charge that is more close to the actual charge in the real molecules and ions. It can be calculated based on the number of valence electrons (V), the shared electrons (S) and the electrons in the lone pairs (L) by the equation:

FC = V - (L + S/2)

Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons, and chlorine is from group 17 of the periodic table, and so it has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can share only one electron, so it is stable. Sulfur can expand its octet (because it's from the third period) and can have more than 8 electrons when stable.

The possible formulas, from the empiric one, are:

SCl, S₂Cl₂, and S₃Cl₃.

To have FC = 0, chlorine must done only one bond, because S = 2, and L = 6, so:

FC = 7 - (6 + 2/2) = 0

So, it can not be the central atom of a structure. In the SCl, it will hav only a simple bond, so for sulfur, S = 2, and L = 4 (only the lone pairs are counted)

FC = 6 - (4+ 2/2) = +1

For S₂Cl₂, the two sulfurs must be bonded to a simple bond, and each one to one chlorine, thus, for both od them S = 4, and L = 4. so

FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0

So, it is the correct structure. The lewis structure represents the bonds by lines and the lone pairs of electrons by dots, and it is shown below.
