Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-827.4 kJ}}$

Explanation:

We have three equations:

1. 2H₂S(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2S(s, rhombic) + 2H₂O(g) ; ∆H = -442.4 kJ

2. S(s, rhombic) + O₂(g) ⟶ SO₂(g); ∆H = -296.8 kJ

3. PbO(s) + H₂S(g) ⟶ PbS(s) + SO₂(g); ∆H = -104.3 kJ

From these, we must devise the target equation:

4. 2PbS(s) + 3O₂(g) ⟶2PbO(s) + 2SO₂(g); ΔH = ?

The target equation has PbS(s) on the left, so you reverse Equation 3 and double it.

When you reverse an equation, you reverse the sign of its ΔH.

When you double an equation, you double its ΔH.

5. 2PbS(s) + 2H₂O(g) ⟶ 2PbO(s) + 2H₂S(g); ∆H = 208.6 kJ

Equation 5 has 2H₂O on the left. That is not in the target equation.

You need an equation with 2H₂O on the right, so you copy Equation 1.

6. 2H₂S(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2S(s, rhombic) + 2H₂O(g) ; ∆H = -442.4 kJ

Equation 6 has 2S(s, rhombic) on the right. That is not in the target equation.

You need an equation with 2S(s, rhombic) on the left, so you double Equation 2.

7. 2S(s, rhombic) + 2O₂(g) ⟶ 2SO₂(g); ∆H = -593.6 kJ

Now, you add equations 5, 6, and 7, cancelling species that appear on opposite sides of the reaction arrows.

When you add equations, you add their ΔH values.

You get the target equation 4:

5. 2PbS(s) + 2H₂O(g) ⟶ 2PbO(s) + 2H₂S(g); ∆H = 208.6 kJ

6. 2H₂S(g) + O₂(g) ⟶ 2S(s) + 2H₂O(g) ; ∆H = -442.4 kJ

7. 2S(s) + 2O₂(g) ⟶ 2SO₂(g); ∆H = -593.6 kJ

4 . 2PbS(s) + 3O₂(g) ⟶ 2PbO(s) + 2SO₂(g); ΔH = -827.4 kJ

$\Delta H \text{ for the reaction is $ \large \boxed{\textbf{-827.4 kJ}}$}$

An ion of iron has an 26 protons, 30 neutrons, and 23 electrons. What are its atomic number, atomic mass, and net charge?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Atomic number 26,atomic mass 26+30=56 dalton and net charge is 3+

Explanation:

The total number of proton present in an atom is known as the atomic number of that atom.From that point of view the atomic number of iron ion is 26.

The total number proton and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom or ion is termed as atomic mass.From that point of view the the atomic mass of iron ion is 26+30=56 dalton

According to the given question iron ion contain 3 more protons than electrons as a result the iron ion will contain 3 unit positive charge.

user100 [1]

Answer: Barium is +2, Fluorine is -1

Explanation:

The charge of barium is +2, and the charge of fluorine is -1. You can determine this from the periodic table groups.

The formula for barium fluoride is thus BaF2.
