Answer:

ΔG° = -533.64 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

Hg₂Cl₂(s) ⇄ Hg₂²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)

The standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔG° = ∑np × ΔG°f(products) - ∑nr × ΔG°f(reactants)

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

ΔG°f(i) are the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of reactants and products

ΔG° = 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂²⁺) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Cl⁻) - 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂Cl₂)

ΔG° = 1 mol × 148.85 kJ/mol + 2 mol × (-182.43 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-317.63 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = -533.64 kJ

Why do the elements in a group all behave similarly
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The elements of the periodic table that belong to the same group (each column) have similar physical and chemical properties. This is because they have the same number of electrons in their last electronic layer.

Example of electronic configuration of elements of GROUP IA:

Hydrogen: 1s ^ 1

Lithium: 1s ^ 2 2s ^ 1

A car with a mass of 1,000 kg is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is the car's kinetic energy?
shtirl [24]

The answer would be 200000 J. the equation for kinetic energy is 1/2 mass times velocity squared. 1/2 of 1,000 is 500. and 20*20 is 400. So, multiply 400 by 500, and that gives you your answer,
