What is the difference between an endothermic and an exothermic reaction?

Chemistry

goldenfox [79]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Endothermic Reaction:

These type of reactions are those reactions which absorb energy from the surroundings to form products. They also create a cooling effect in the surrounding as they absorb heat and thus the surrounding area gets cooled.

Exothermic Reaction:

These are reactions that release energy,  mostly in the form of heat or light.

The products will release energy there can be a heating effect in the surroundings.

A solution is made using 148.5 g of dimethyl ether (MM = 46.07 g/mol) and 90.0 g of methanol (MM = 32.04 g/mol). What is the mol
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

0.534

Explanation:

Mole fraction can be calculated using the formula:

Mole fraction = number of moles of solute ÷ number of moles of solvent and solute (solution).

In this question, solute is dimethyl ether while the solvent is methanol.

Mole (n) = mass (M) ÷ molar mass (MM)

Mole of solute (dimethyl ether) = 148.5 ÷ 46.07

= 3.22moles.

Mole of solvent (methanol) = 90 ÷ 32.04

= 2.81moles.

Total moles of solute and solvent = 3.22 + 2.81 = 6.03moles.

Mole fraction of dimethyl ether = number of moles of dimethyl ether ÷ number of moles of solution (dimethyl ether + methanol)

Mole fraction = 3.22/6.03

= 0.534

What is the electron shielding effect? What is the trend for it? How and why does it happen?
andriy [413]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In an atom, the inner electrons may shield the outer electrons from the attractive force of the nucleus. We, refer to this phenomenon as the <u><em>shielding effect</em></u>, It is defined as a decrease in the magnitude of attraction between an electron and the nucleus of an atom having more than one electron shell (energy level).

Shielding effect increases down the group due to addition of more shells but decreases across the period due to the increase in the size of the nuclear charge.

As the magnitude of shielding increases down the group, ionization of electrons becomes easier and the first ionization energies of elements decreases as we move down the group. Since shielding effect decreases across the period, the first ionization energies of elements increases across the period.
