Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The size of the hydration enthalpy of a system depends on the attraction between the ions and the water molecules. Stronger attractions exist between water and smaller ions. The smaller the ion, the higher the hydration enthalpy is.

In the first pair, Na+ is smaller than Cs+ hence Na+ has a larger change in hydration enthalpy.

In the second pair, Sr2+ is smaller than Rb+ hence Sr2+ has a larger change in hydration enthalpy.

In the third pair, Na+ is smaller than Cl- hence Na+ has a larger change in hydration energy.

F- is smaller than O2- hence F- has a larger change in hydration energy.

OH- is smaller than the SH- hence the OH- has a larger change in hydration energy.

Draw the lewis structure for so42-. How many equivalent resonance structures can be drawn?

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.

Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ .

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $SO_4^{2-}$

As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $SO_4^{2-}$ = 6 + 4(6) + 2 = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of $SO_4^{2-}$ is shown below.

1: At which temperature would a reaction withΔH = -102 kJ/mol, ΔS = -0.188 kJ/(mol×K) be spontaneous? 2: At which temperature wo

Naddik [55]

Answer:

1: At temperatures below 542.55 K

2: At temperatures above 660 K

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the thermodynamic definition of the Gibbs free energy, it is possible to write the following expression:

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

Whereas ΔG=0 for the spontaneous transition. In such a way, we proceed as follows:

$0=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\\T=\frac{-102kJ/mol}{-0.188kJ/mol-K} \\\\T=542.55K$

It means that at temperatures lower than 542.55 K the reaction will be spontaneous.

$0=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\\T=\frac{132kJ/mol}{0.200kJ/mol-K} \\\\T=660K$

It means that at temperatures higher than 660 K the reaction will be spontaneous.

Best regards!

Using VSEPR theory which of the following would be the correct shape for nitrogen trifluoride?

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

In NF3, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Now we must remember that according to the VSEPR theory, the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape.

Here, the nitrogen atom is the central atom and its outermost shell is surrounded by four electron pairs - one lone pair and three bond pairs. This means that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

However, due to the lone pair, the three fluorine atoms are arranged in a trigonal pyramidal geometry. Hence the correct shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal.
