Answer:

Explanation:

sodium has 1 valence electron because of its place on the periodic table. a trick to use is included in the picture below to find out how many valence electrons an element has. to get from 1 to 8 we add 7.

I hope this helps :))

Consider the reaction N2(g) + 2O2(g)2NO2(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surr

zysi [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of nitrogen gas is reacted is 231.36 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

Entropy change is defined as the difference in entropy of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate entropy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$N_2+2O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2$

The equation for the entropy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta S^o_{(NO_2(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta S^o_{(N_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta S^o_{(O_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta S^o_{(NO_2(g))}=240.06J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(O_2)}=205.14J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(N_2)}=191.61J/K.mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (240.06))]-[(1\times (191.61))+(2\times (205.14))]\\\\\Delta S^o_{rxn}=-121.77J/K$

Entropy change of the surrounding = - (Entropy change of the system) = -(-121.77) J/K = 121.77 J/K

We are given:

Moles of nitrogen gas reacted = 1.90 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 1 mole of nitrogen gas is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be 121.77 J/K

So, when 1.90 moles of nitrogen gas is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be = $\frac{121.77}{1}\times 1.90=231.36 J/K$

Hence, the value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of nitrogen gas is reacted is 231.36 J/K

Which of the following solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most? NaCl, CaCl2!or AlBr3

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

This uses the concept of freezing point depression. When faced with this issue, we use the following equation:
ΔT = i·Kf·m
which translates in english to:
Change in freezing point = vant hoff factor * molal freezing point depression constant * molality of solution
Because the freezing point depression is a colligative property, it does not depend on the identity of the molecules, just the number of them.
Now, we know that molality will be constant, and Kf will be constant, so our only unknown is "i", or the van't hoff factor.
The van't hoff factor is the number of atoms that dissociate from each individual molecule. The higher the van't hoff factor, the more depressed the freezing point will be.
NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl-, so it has i = 2
CaCl2 will dissociate into Ca2+ and 2 Cl-, so it has i = 3
AlBr3 will dissociate into Al3+ and 3 Br-, so it has i = 4
Therefore, AlBr3 will lower the freezing point of water the most.

C-12 and C-13 are naturally-occurring isotopes of the element carbon. C-12 occurs 98.88% of the time and C-13 occurs 1.108% of t

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

c) (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of C-12 = 98.89%

Percentage of C-13 = 1.108%

Atomic mass = ?

Solution:

98.89/100 = 0.9889

1.108/ 100 = 0.01108

Atomic mass = (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Atomic mass = (11.8668 + 0.144034)

Atomic mass = 12.01084
