Answer:

-4

Explanation:

An atom becomes charged when the number of protons does not equal the number of electrons. For example, if an element has six protons but only five electrons, the net charge of the element is +1. Conversely, if an element has six protons but seven electrons, then the net charge of the element is -1.

The decomposition of copper(II) nitrate on heating is endothermic reaction. 2Cu(NO3)2(s) → 2C10(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g) Calculate t

Basile [38]

Answer:

The enthalpy change for the given reaction is 424 kJ.

Explanation:

$2Cu(NO_3)_2(s)\rightarrow 2CuO(s) + 4NO_2(g) + O_2(g),\Delta H_{rxn}=?$

We have :

Enthalpy changes of formation of following s:

$\Delta H_{f,Cu(NO_3)_2}=-302.9 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,CuO}=-157.3 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,NO_2}= 33.2 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,O_2}= 0 kJ/mol$ (standard state)

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

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

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ =

$=(2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,CuO}+4\times \Delta H_{f,NO_2}+1 mol\times \Delta H_{f,O_2})-(2mol\times \Delta H_{f,Cu(NO_3)_2})$

$\Delta H_{rxn}$ =

$(2mol\times (-157.3 kJ/mol)+4\times 33.2 kJ/mol=1 mol\times 0 kJ/mol)-(2 mol\times (-302.9 kJ/mol)$

$\Delta H_{rxn}=424 kJ$

The enthalpy change for the given reaction is 424 kJ.

Answer:b.CaCl2

Explanation:

A compound is a substance resulting when two or more elements are are chemically bonded together either ionically or covalently in a fixed ratio.

From the given options we can see that the only compound there is CaCl2 which is an ionic compound in the fixed ratio of one calcium ion to two chloride ions.

Other options , Cu,Na and Nd are merely pure substance---Elements

write equations to show the chemical processes which occur when the first ionization and the second ionization energies of lithi

diamong [38]

Answer:

First ionization of lithium:

$\text{Li}\;(g)\to \text{Li}^{+} \; (g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Second ionization of lithium:

$\text{Li}^{+}\;(g) \to\text{Li}^{2+} \;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Explanation:

The ionization energy of an element is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom or ion of the element in gaseous state. (Refer to your textbook for a more precise definition.) Some features of the equation:

Start with a gaseous atom (for the first ionization energy only) or a gaseous ion. Write the gaseous state symbol $(g)$ next to any atom or ion in the equation.
The product shall contain one gaseous ion and one electron. The charge on the ion shall be the same as the order of the ionization energy. For the second ionization energy, the ion shall carry a charge of +2.
Charge shall balance on the two sides of the equation.

First Ionization Energy of Li:

The products shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +1 $\text{Li}^{+}\;(g)$ as well as an electron $\text{e}^{-}$ .
Charge shall balance on the two sides. There's no net charge on the product side. Neither shall there be a charge on the reactant side. The only reactant shall be a lithium atom which is both gaseous and neutral: $\text{Li}\;(g)$ .

Hence the equation: $\text{Li}\;(g) \to \text{Li}^{+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Second Ionization Energy of Li:

The product shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +2: $\text{Li}^{2+}\;(g)$ as well as an electron $\text{e}^{-}$ .
Charge shall balance on the two sides. What's the net charge on the product side? That shall also be the charge on the reactant side. What will be the reactant?

The equation for this process is $\text{Li}^{+} \; (g) \to \text{Li}^{2+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

What led Thomson to decide that Dalton's atomic model needed to be revised?

jeka94

Answer:

Discovery of electron while studying the properties of cathode ray by Thomson suggested that Dalton atomic model should be revised.

Explanation:

Electron was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.

Properties of cathode ray:

The ray is travel in straight line.

The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.

When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.

Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
