The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.

Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming $GeH_4$ molecule which is stable in nature.

Hence, $GeH_4$ is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of Fe 3 O 4 (s) with hydrogen (g) to form iron and water vapor Fe 3 O

Mila [183]

Answer:

41.3kJ of heat is absorbed

Explanation:

Based in the reaction:

Fe₃O₄(s) + 4H₂(g) → 3Fe(s) + 4H₂O(g) ΔH = 151kJ

<em>1 mole of Fe3O4 reacts with 4 moles of H₂, 151kJ are absorbed.</em>

63.4g of Fe₃O₄ (Molar mass: 231.533g/mol) are:

63.4g Fe₃O₄ × (1mol / 231.533g) = <em>0.274moles of Fe₃O₄</em>

These are the moles of Fe₃O₄ that react. As 1 mole of Fe₃O₄ in reaction absorb 151kJ, 0.274moles absorb:

0.274moles of Fe₃O₄ × (151kJ / 1 mole Fe₃O₄) =

<h3>41.3kJ of heat is absorbed</h3>
