Answer: The given statement is true.
Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.
Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.
Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.
In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.
Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.
Answer:
ΔS = -661.0J/mol is the entropy change for the system
ΔS = -842J/mol.K is the entropy change for the surroundings
Explanation:
From the relationship between ΔG, T, ΔH and ΔS,
Mathematically, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
TΔS = ΔH - ΔS
ΔS = ΔH - ΔS / T
but ΔG = -54 kJ/mol, ΔH = -251 kJ/mol and T = 25 °C (298 K)
plugging into the equation,
ΔS = -251 kJ/mol - ( -54 kJ/mol) / 298
ΔS = -0.6610KJ/mol or in J.mol
ΔS = -661.0J/mol is the entropy change for the system
- For entropy change for the surroundings = ΔS = ΔH/T
- ΔS = -0.84KJ/mol.K or -842J/mol.K is the entropy change for the surroundings
The % yield if 500 g of sulfur trioxide reacted with excess water to produce 575 g of sulfuric acid is calculated using the below formula
% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield x100
actual yield =575 grams
to calculate theoretical yield
find the moles of SO3 used =mass/molar mass
= 500g/ 80 g/mol =6.25 moles
SO3+H2O=H2SO4
by use of mole ratio of SO3 : H2SO4 which is 1:1 the moles of H2SO4 is also= 6.25 moles
the theoretical yield of H2SO4 is therefore = moles /molar mass
= 6.25 x98= 612.5 grams
%yield is therefore= 575 g/612 g x100= 93.9 %
