Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When energy is absorbed in a chemical reaction then chemical bonds tend to break and cool the surroundings. This type of reaction is known as endothermic reaction.

For example, melting of ice cubes is an endothermic reaction.

Whereas when energy is released in a chemical reaction then it is because atoms come close to each other. This type of reaction is known as exothermic reaction.

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options, for a reaction to occur, energy must be absorbed to break chemical bonds.

Answer: The correct answer is absorbed.

Explanation:

Bond formation is a type of exothermic process. In these reactions when two atoms come close to each other, energy is released in this process.

On the other hand, in the breaking of bond, energy is required because the atoms are to be separated from each other. This is a type of endothermic process. So, the energy must be absorbed.

Hence, the correct answer is absorbed.

A distinct molecular species that is formed in one step of a reaction mechanism and then reacts in a subsequent step is called

Flura [38]

Notice that the oxygen atom produced in the first step of this mechanism is consumed in the second step and therefore does not appear as a product in the overall reaction. Species that are produced in one step and consumed in a subsequent step are called intermediates.

Oxidation number of sulphur in S is 0, in SCl2 is +2, in SO3 is +6, in H2S is - 2, in S2Cl2 is +1, in H2SO4 is +6.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Oxidation number is the numeric representation of the charge of the particular atom in a compound assuming the compound is 100% ionic in character. This oxidation number is calculated based on the electronegativity of the participating atoms and the valemct of the atoms.

In S, there are no other atoms except sulphur. So its an elemental atom and elemental atoms have oxidation number of 0.

In SCl2, chlorine is more electronegative than sulphur, so chlorine is given - 1 based on its valency and electronegativity. So sulphur will have the oxidation number of +2.

In SO3, oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur, so given - 2 based on its valency and electronegativity. So sulphur will be +6.

In H2S, hydrogen is electropositive than sulphur, so given +1. So the oxidation number of sulphur will be - 2.

In S2Cl2, chlorine is more electronegative than sulphur, so chlorine is given - 1 based on its valency and electronegativity. So sulphur will have the oxidation number of +1.

In H2SO4, hydrogen is electropositive than sulphur, so given +1 and oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur, so given - 2. So oxidation number of sulphur will be +6.

How many grams of Cl are in 535 g of CaCl₂?

Sliva [168]

The answer is 341.7 g.

(1) Calculate the molar mass (M) of CaCl2 which is the sum of atomic masses (A) of elements:
M(CaCl2) = A(Ca) + 2A(Cl)
A(Ca) = 40.1 g/mol
A(Cl) = 35.45 g/mol

M(CaCl2) = 40.1 + 2 * 35.45 = 40.1 + 70.9 = 111 g/mol

(2) Calculate in how many moles are 535 g:
M(CaCl2) = 111 g/mol
111g : 1mol = 535 g : xmol
x = 535 g * 1mol : 111g = 4.82 mol

(3) Calculate how many grams of Cl are in 4.82 mol:
A(Cl) = 35.45 g/mol
2A(Cl) = 2 * 35.45 = 70.9 g/mol
70.9 g : 1 mol = x : 4.82 mol
x = 70.9 g * 4.82 mol : 1 mol = 341.7 g

Convert 1.71 × 1024 atoms of carbon to moles of carbon.

beks73 [17]

You need to use Avogadro's constant to convert from atoms of carbon to moles of carbon.

1.71*10^24 atoms C * (1 mole/6.022*10^23 atoms) = 2.84 moles of carbon
