Answer:
Fluorine is much more reactive than chlorine (despite the lower electron affinity) because the energy released in other steps in its reactions more than makes up for the lower amount of energy released as electron affinity.
Explanation:
Answer:
isolated system (plural isolated systems) (physics) A system that does not interact with its surroundings. Depending on context this may mean that its total energy and/or momentum stay constant.
Explanation:
An isolated system is a thermodynamic system that cannot exchange either energy or matter outside the boundaries of the system. ... The system may be enclosed such that neither energy nor mass may enter or exit.
is there both?
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1. Word equation:</u>
- <em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>
<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>
<u>3. Mole ratio</u>
Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:
<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>
Use the equation for ideal gases:
<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>
<u>6. Convert to mass</u>
- mass = # moles × molar mass
- molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol
- mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g
Explanation:
Each element in the periodic table has different but fixed number of the protons in nucleus of it's atom, which is known as the atomic number.
Transmutation of one chemical element into the another involves the changing of the atomic number. Such nuclear reaction requires millions of the times more energy as compared to normal chemical reactions. Thus, the dream of the alchemist of transmuting the lead into the gold was never achievable chemically .
Conversion of lead to gold in today's world:
This conversion is indeed possible. The requirements are a particle accelerator, tremendous supply of the energy. Nuclear scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory located in California, more than 30 years ago, succeeded in producing very minute amounts of the gold from the bismuth. Bismuth is a metallic element which is adjacent to the lead on periodic table. Same process would work for the lead but isolating gold at end of reaction would prove much more difficult because lead is available in many isotopes. The homogeneous nature of the element means that it is easier to separate the gold from the bismuth as compared to separate the gold from the lead which has four isotopic identities which all are stable.
The average weight of an atom of an element, formerly based on the
weight of one hydrogen atom taken as a unit or on 1/16 (0.0625) the
weight of an oxygen atom, but after 1961 based on 1/12 the weight of the
carbon-12 atom.
