IrinaVladis [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Our aim is to draw a structure of XeO2F2 whith the least formal charges. We must remember that the compound has 34 valence electrons.

To obtain the least formal charges then Xe must have a total of twelve electrons on its valence shell instead of eight.

The other atoms around the central Xe atom are arranged as shown in the image attached.

29) What type of chemical reaction is given by the following balanced equation: Al2O3 → Al + O2
Law Incorporation [45]

Decomposition.

Decomposition is the chemical reaction in which a compound breaks down into the two elements or molecules that formed the compound. In this case, Dialuminium Trioxide has broken down into the basic components of Al2 and O2.

Hope this helps!

1. A 250g chunk of metal is heated with 400 joules of energy and the temperature goes from 20 °C to 25°C. What is its specific h
Paha777 [63]

The specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal is equal to 0.32 J/g°C.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of metal = 250g
  • Quantity of energy = 400 Joules
  • Initial temperature = 20°C
  • Final temperature = 20°C

To determine the specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal:

<h3>The formula for quantity of heat.</h3>

Mathematically, quantity of heat is given by the formula;

Q = mc\theta

<u>Where:</u>

  • Q represents the quantity of heat.
  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • c represents the specific heat capacity.
  • ∅ represents the change in temperature.

Making c the subject of formula, we have:

c = \frac{Q}{m\theta}

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

c = \frac{400}{250 \times (25-20)}\\\\c = \frac{400}{250 \times 5}\\\\c = \frac{400}{1250 }

Specific heat, c = 0.32 J/g°C.

Solid ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, is formed by the reaction of gaseous ammonia, NH3, and hydrogen chloride, HCl. NH3(g)+HCl(g)⟶NH4
Mashutka [201]

9.41 atm is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas remaining in the flask

<h3>What is the pressure in atmospheres?</h3>

The equation NH3(g) + HCl(g) ==> NH4Cl(s) is balanced.

Divide the moles of each reactant by its coefficient in the balanced equation, and the limiting reagent is identified as the one whose value is less. With the issue we now have...

6.44 g NH3 times 1 mol NH3/17 g equals 0.3688 moles of NH3 ( 1 = 0.3688)

HCl: 6.44 g of HCl times one mole of HCl every 36.5 g equals 0.1764 moles ( 1 = 0.1764). CONTROLLING REAGENT

NH4Cl will this reaction produce in grams

0.1764 moles of HCl multiplied by one mole of NH4Cl per mole of HCl results in 9.44 g of NH4Cl (3 sig. figs.)

the gas pressure, measured in atmospheres, that is still in the flask

NH3(g) plus HCl(g) results in NH4Cl (s)

0.3688......0.1764............0..........

Initial

-0.1764....-0.1764........+0.1764...Change

Equilibrium: 0.1924.......0...............+0.1924

There are 0.1924 moles of NH3 and no other gases in the flask. This is at a temperature of 25 °C (+273 = 298 °K) in a volume of 0.5 L. After that, we may determine the pressure by using the ideal gas law (P).

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V = 0.1924 mol, 0.0821 latm/mol, and 298 Kmol / 0.5 L

P = 9.41 atm

9.41 atm is the pressure in atmospheres of the gas remaining in the flask
