Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.

If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that

i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur

ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive

For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.

Find the boiling point temperature at 760 torr of an isomer of octane, c8h18, if its enthalpy of vaporization is 38,210 j mol-1

mixas84 [53]

According to Clausius-Clayperon equation,

$ln(\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }) = \frac{delta H_{vap} }{R} (\frac{1}{T_{2} }-\frac{1}{T_{1} } )$

$P_{1}$ is the vapor pressure at boiling point = 760 torr

$P_{2}$ is the vapor pressure at T_{2} =638.43 torr

Temperature $T_{2} = 110.0^{0}C + 273 = 383 K$

Δ $H_{vap} = 38210 J/mol$

Plugging in the values, we get

$ln(\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }) = \frac{delta H_{vap} }{R} (\frac{1}{T_{2} }-\frac{1}{T_{1} } )$

ln $\frac{760 torr}{638.43 torr} =\frac{38210 J/mol}{8.314 J/(mol.K)} (\frac{1}{383 K}-\frac{1}{T_{1} }$

$T_{1} = 389 K$

Therefore, the boiling point of octane = 389 K - 273 = $116^{0}C$

What does pH measure?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Hydronium ion concentration is a measure of pH of a solution.

The mathematical equation for the same is [H3O+] = 10-pH

[H3O+] = antilog (- pH)

Hence, option D is correct

Why is this a redox reaction?

frez [133]

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.
