What two forces act in the nucleus to create a 'nuclear tug-of-war'?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Electrostatic repulsion, strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. protons are positively charged while neutrons possess no charge.

Since protons are positively charged, they repel each other strongly (like charges repel). This strong repulsion of like charges makes the nucleus somewhat unstable leading to spontaneous fission of heavy nuclei.

However, an opposing force called nuclear attractive force tends to hold the nucleons together. This attraction occurs when two nucleons are bonded by a particle called a π meson.

Hence, the two forces that act in the nucleus to create a  'nuclear tug-of-war' are electrostatic repulsion and a strong nuclear force.

I2(g) + Cl2(g)2ICl(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surroundings when 1.62 mol
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation of iodine gas = \Delta H_f_{(I_2)}=62.438 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of formation of chlorine gas = \Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)}=0 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of formation of ICl gas = \Delta H_f_{(ICl)}=17.78 kJ/mol

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

For the given chemical reaction:

I_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ICl(g),\Delta H_{rxn}=?

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(ICl)})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(I_2)})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)})]

=[2\times 17.78 kJ/mol]-[1\times 0 kJ/mol+1\times 62.436 kJ/mol]=-26.878 kJ/mol

Enthaply change when 1.62 moles of iodine gas recast:

\Delta H= \Delta H_{rxn}\times 1.62 mol=(-26.878 kJ/mol)\times 1.62 mol=-43.542 kJ

Entropy of the surrounding = \Delta S^o_{surr}=\frac{\Delta H}{T}

=\frac{-43.542 kJ}{298 K}=\frac{-43,542 J}{298 K}=-146.11 J/K

1 kJ = 1000 J

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.

What is the periodic table and why is it neccessary?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The periodic table is a table displaying each element and information about the elements, for example atomic number and chemical properties. This is necessary because without it it would be very hard to find information on the elements.

What is the mass grams that are in 2.57 × 10²⁵ molecules of I₂
lina2011 [118]

The mass of I₂ that contains 2.57×10²⁵ molecules is 10843.52 g

From a detailed understanding of Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ molecules. This implies that 1 mole of I₂ also 6.02×10²³ molecules i.e

<h3>6.02×10²³ molecules = 1 mole of I₂</h3>

Recall:

1 mole of I₂ = 2 × 127 = 254 g

Thus,

<h3>6.02×10²³ molecules = 254 g of I₂</h3>

With the above information, we can obtain the mass of I₂ that contains 2.57×10²⁵ molecules. This is illustrated below:

6.02×10²³ molecules = 254 g of I₂

Therefore,

2.57×10²⁵ molecules = \frac{2.57*10^{25}  * 254}{6.02*10^{23}}\\\\

<h3>2.57×10²⁵ molecules = 10843.52 g of I₂</h3>

Thus, the mass of I₂ that contains 2.57×10²⁵ molecules is 10843.52 g

Consider the group 1A elements sodium (period 3), potassium (period 4), and rubidium (period 5). What would you predict about th
enyata [817]

The correct answer is Na > K > Rb.  

The order predicted would be ionization energy of sodium is greater than the ionization energy of potassium, which is greater than the ionization energy of rubidium.  

The ionization energy refers to energy, which has to be supplemented to a gaseous atom in order to withdraw an electron and produce a positive ion. The ionization energy decreases in going down a group. The cause of the decline of the ionization energy down a group is that as one moves down a group, the size of the atom increases that signifies that the valence electrons get further away from the nucleus, and thus, less energy is required to withdraw the electrons.
