Imagine you are about to investigate what happens when sodium and potassium are mixed together. Before you begin your experiment

, a peer tells you this reaction is impossible, as both elements will not react to chemically bond to one another. Type a paragraph statement explaining why this is true. Be sure to relate this cause to chemical bonding and the elements’ positions on the periodic table.​

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium are both metals on the periodic table. Both elements are found on the s-block of the table. Therefore, it is not possible for both of them to combine to form a compound.

For a compound to form two elements must combine in a definite order to given  single product.

The combination is facilitated by a loss, gain or sharing of electrons between two species. This leads to an attraction between the combining species.

Both Sodium and potassium would prefer to lose electrons and there is no reason for them to combine to form a compound.

notka56 [123]
There are several types of surfactants, to name two: alkylbenzene sulfonates  or detergents; and lauryl sulfate or foaming agents. 

Alkylbenzene sulfonates are commonly used in the production of detergent soaps, these help clean the dirt from cloths and other materials, it also produces foam. 

Lauryl sulfate or foaming agents are commonly used in the production of dishwashing liquid or handwashing soap.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

a) ΔHºrxn = 116.3 kJ, ΔGºrxn = 82.8 kJ,  ΔSºrxn =  0.113 kJ/K

b) At 753.55 ºC or higher

c )ΔG =  1.8 x 10⁴ J

    K = 8.2 x 10⁻²

Explanation:

a)                                 C6H5−CH2CH3  ⇒  C6H5−CH=CH2  + H₂

ΔHf kJ/mol                    -12.5                           103.8                      0

ΔGºf kJ/K                        119.7                         202.5                      0

Sº J/mol                          255                          238                      130.6*

Note: This value was not given in our question, but is necessary and can be found in standard handbooks.

Using Hess law to calculate  ΔHºrxn we have

ΔHºrxn  = ΔHfº C6H5−CH=CH2 +  ΔHfº H₂ - ΔHºfC6H5−CH2CH3

ΔHºrxn =     103.8 kJ + 0 kJ  - (-12.5 kJ)

ΔHºrxn = 116.3 kJ

Similarly,

ΔGrxn = ΔGºf C6H5−CH=CH2 +  ΔGºfH₂ - ΔGºfC6H5CH2CH3

ΔGºrxn=   202.5 kJ + 0 kJ - 119.7 kJ  = 82.8 kJ

ΔSºrxn = 238 J/mol + 130.6 J/mol -255 J/K = 113.6 J/K = 0.113 kJ/K

b) The temperature at which the reaction is spontaneous or feasible occurs when ΔG becomes negative and using

ΔGrxn =  ΔHrxn -TΔS

we see that will happen when the term  TΔS  becomes greater than ΔHrxn since ΔS  is positive  , and so to sollve for T we will make ΔGrxn equal to zero and solve for T. Notice here we will make the assumption that  ΔºHrxn and ΔSºrxn remain constant at the higher temperature  and will equal the values previously calculated for them. Although this assumption is not entirely correct, it can be used.

0 = 116 kJ -T (0.113 kJ/K)

T = 1026.5 K  =  (1026.55 - 273 ) ºC = 753.55 ºC

c) Again we will use

                       ΔGrxn =  ΔHrxn -TΔS

to calculate ΔGrxn   with the assumption that ΔHº and ΔSºremain constant.

ΔG =  116.3 kJ - (600+273 K) x 0.113 kJ/K =  116.3 kJ - 873 K x 0.113 kJ/K

ΔG =  116.3 kJ - 98.6 kJ =  17.65 kJ = 1.8 x 10⁴ J ( Note the kJ are converted to J to necessary for the next part of the problem )

Now for solving for K, the equation to use is

ΔG = -RTlnK and solve for K

- ΔG / RT = lnK  ∴ K = exp (- ΔG / RT)

K = exp ( - 1.8 x 10⁴ J /( 8.314 J/K  x 873 K)) = 8.2 x 10⁻²
