Hydrogen sulfide,H2S, is a very toxic gas with a smell of rotten eggs. using the following: H2S+3/2 O2=SO2+H2O H2+1/2O2=H2O S+O2

Serga [27]

Answer:

ΔH = -20kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of formation of a compound is defined as the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements. For H₂S(g) the reaction that describes this process is:

H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g)

Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum the enthalpies of several reactions to obtain the change in enthalpy of a particular reaction thus:

(1) H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) → SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) ΔH = -519 kJ

(2) H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

(3) S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

The sum of -(1) + (2) + (3) gives:

-(1) SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) → H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) ΔH = +519 kJ

(2) H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ

(3) S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ

-(1) + (2) + (3): H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g)

ΔH = +519kJ - 242kJ - 297kJ = -20 kJ

I hope it helps!

An atom has the following electron configuration.

Wewaii [24]

Answer: 5

Explanation: add up all the electrons and it will amount to 23. Arranging by the old model for electronic configuration, we have : 2, 8, 8, 5

The last number being 5 represent its valence electron

Which of the following alcohols will give a positive chromic acid test?

Sindrei [870]

The answer is both B and C

positive chromic acid test is indicated by disappearance of orange colour from chromic ions and appearance of blue-green color from Chromium (iii) ion (reduction of chromium ion from CrO4 - to Cr3+)

positive chromic test indicated functional groups that can be oxidized.

cyclohexanol can be oxidized to become cyclohexanone

and pentan-3-ol can be oxidized to become pentan-3-one

hence both B and C will show positive chromic acid test

A) tert butanol although contains alcohol functional group, cannot be further oxidized as it is a tertiary alcohol

The [OH-] of a solution is 7.89 10^-12 M. What is the pH of the solution? it acidic or basic? *

kompoz [17]

Answer: pH = 2,897 , basic $[H+][OH-] = 10^{-14} ==> [H+] = \frac{10^{-14}}{7,89*10^{-12} } =\frac{1}{789} \\pH= -lg([H+]) = 2,897 \\pH basic$
