Answer:

To be stable an atom will gain, lose, or share electrons to complete the outer most energy level (electron shell). Octet Rule because levels 2 and 3 need 8 electrons to be stable.

Find the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene, C2H4(g), given the following data: C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) --> 2CO2(g) + 2 H2O

Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The formation reaction of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-1411kJ$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.5kJ$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-285.8kJ$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equation, we get :

(1) $2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=+1411kJ$

(2) $2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-393.5kJ)=-787kJ$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=2\times (-285.8kJ)=-571.6kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+1411kJ)+(-787kJ)+(-571.6kJ)$

$\Delta H=52.4kJ$

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

state the conditions under which copper reacts with sulphuric (vi) acid and give an equation for the reaction

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

When the metal reacts with hot, concentrated sulphuric acid, the products of the reaction are copper (II) sulphate, sulphur dioxide and water. Cu + 2H2SO4 = CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O. This is a typical redox reaction in which the acid is reduced to SO2, but no hydrogen is produced here

Answer:

Sand

Explanation:

with salt distillation will work, heat the solution and collect the water in a seperate beaker

With sugar you do the same, boil away the water and collect the water vapour, you'll be left with sugar in the original container and water if you collected it

Use a fraction of column and heat the solution, the alcohol will be seperated out

Sand is the only one that uses mechanical filtration

Electromagnetic forces are the predominant force in holding what subatomic particles together?

vova2212 [387]

The strong forces oppose the electromagnetic force of repulsion between protons. Like ”glue” the strong force keeps the protons together to form the nucleus. · The strong forces and electromagnetic forces both hold the atom together.
