Answer:

A single compound is simultaneously oxidized and reduced.

Explanation:

In chemistry, disproportionation is a simultaneous oxidation and reduction of a single chemical specie.

What this means is that; in a disproportionation reaction, only one compound is both oxidized and reduced. This implies that two products are formed during disproportionation. One is the oxidized product while the other is the reduced product.

Consider the disproportionation of CuCl shown below;

2CuCl -----> CuCl2 + Cu

Here, CuCl2 is the oxidized product while Cu is the reduced product.

Calculate ∆G ◦ r for the decomposition of mercury(II) oxide 2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(ℓ) + O2(g) ∆H◦ f −90.83 − − (kJ · mol−1 ) ∆S ◦ m 70.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

4. +117,1 kJ/mol

Explanation:

ΔG of a reaction is:

ΔGr = ΔHr - TΔSr (1)

For the reaction:

2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)

ΔHr: 2ΔHf Hg(l) + ΔHf O₂(g) - 2ΔHf HgO(s)

As ΔHf of Hg(l) and ΔHf O₂(g) are 0:

ΔHr: - 2ΔHf HgO(s) = 181,66 kJ/mol

In the same way ΔSr is:

ΔSr= 2ΔS° Hg(l) + ΔS° O₂(g) - 2ΔS° HgO(s)

ΔSr= 2* 76,02J/Kmol + 205,14 J/Kmol - 2*70,19 J/Kmol

ΔSr= 216,8 J/Kmol = 0,216 kJ/Kmol

Thus, ΔGr at 298K is:

ΔGr = 181,66 kJ/mol - 298K*0,216kJ/Kmol

ΔGr = +117,3 kJ/mol ≈ 4. +117,1 kJ/mol

A sample of a compound contains 41.33 g of carbon and 8.67 g of hydrogen. The molar mass of the

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

C6H15

Explanation:

First, we calculate the empirical formula as follows:

C = 41.33 g

H = 8.67 g

We convert each mass value to mole by dividing each element by its molar mass (C = 12g/mol, H = 1g/mol)

C = 41.33g ÷ 12g/mol = 3.44mol

H = 8.67g ÷ 1g/mol = 8.67mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (3.44mol)

C = 3.44mol ÷ 3.44mol = 1

H = 8.67mol ÷ 3.44mol = 2.52

We multiply this ratio by 2 to get a simple whole number ratio

C = 1 × 2 = 2

H = 2.52 × 2 = 5.04

Based on this, the whole number ratio of C and H is 2:5, hence, the empirical formula is C2H5.

The molecular mass of the compound is given as 87.18 g/mol, hence, the molecular formula is calculated as follows:

(C2H5)n = 87.18

[12(2) + 1(5)]n = 87.18

[24 + 5]n = 87.18

(29)n = 87.18

n = 87.18 ÷ 29

n = 3.006

Approximately to whole number, n = 3

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is [C2H5]3

= C6H15

A mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gases contains methane at a partial pressure of 431 mm Hg and carbon dioxide at a

KatRina [158]

Answer:

XCH₄ = 0.461

XCO₂ = 0.539

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Partial pressure of methane (pCH₄): 431 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂): 504 mmHg

Step 2: Calculate the total pressure in the container

We will sum both partial pressures.

P = pCH₄ + pCO₂

P = 431 mmHg + 504 mmHg = 935 mmHg

Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction of each gas

We will use the following expression.

Xi = pi / P

XCH₄ = pCH₄/P = 431 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.461

XCO₂ = pCO₂/P = 504 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.539

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The activation energy for an endothermic reaction is quite large and usually takes extra energy from the environment, it is normally not a natural spontaneous process.

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions require absorbing energy of the surrounding mainly in the form of heat.

Chemical energy needs energy input to break the bonds.

Examples of endothermic reactions: Photosynthesis , melting of ice , and evaporating liquid water.
