Answer:

1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Explanation:

<u>1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature </u>

example :

Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )

Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment

Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )

Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th  ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )

Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc

∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh

                 = Q/tc - Q/th

<u>2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide </u>

2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

Δs = positive

there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C

hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg  -  S⁻ HgO =

Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ

Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k

hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Which of the halide ions (f−, cl−, br−, and i−) is the most stable base? which is the least stable base?
Nezavi [6.7K]
You should take note that the question is about stability. A compound is stable if it does not easily react with other elements. Hence, its reactivity must be low. As you move down the group, reactivity decreases. So, the halide at the very bottom is the least reactive. It would then be logical that the most stable conjugate base is I⁻ and the least stable conjugate base is the most reactive which is F⁻.

Consider the reaction 2 S + 3 O2 → 2 SO3 , which has a 75.1% yield. How much O2 is consumed if 583 g of SO3 are produced?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A/1.      10.9 mol O2

Explanation:

583 g x 1 mol SO3 x 3 mol O2 /

      80.057 g mol SO3 x 2 mol SO3

- You just need to find molar mass of SO3, which is 80.057 g.

- Everything else came from formula. Further explanation...

- Always start with what they give, such as 583 g. Then find 1 mol of what is being produced, in this it is SO3. We already found this because we did molar mass above. Next. find how many moles of what they want, which is O2. Look in equation and you can see 3 mol in from of O2. Next, do the same for SO3 and you can find 3 mol in front of that. Lastly, just do the math.

- If you need a further explanation or more help on any problems I would be happy to help, just let me know.

How would the electron configuration of nitrogen change to make a stable configuration?
lesantik [10]

Answer: The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3. Thus nitrogen has a half-filled p orbital, which is comparatively more stable. Thus the p orbital is the outermost orbital. To achieve a stable gas configuration, nitrogen needs to have a fulfilled p orbital.

Which of the following is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds? 1. Li 2. Cl 3. N 4. H 5. F
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.

Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.
