Explanation:
Defining law of definite proportions, it states that when two elements form more than one compound, the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers.
A. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn.
Mass of the oxide = 100g
Mass of Mn = 63.2 g
Mass of O = 100 - 63.2
= 36.8 g
Ratio of Mn to O = 63.2/36.8
= 1.72
Another oxide (Oxide 2) contains 77.5% Mn.
Mass of oxide = 100 g
Mass of Mn = 77.5 g
Mass of O = 100 - 77.5
= 22.5 g
Ratio of Mn to O = 77.5/22.5
= 3.44
Therefore, the ratio of the masses of Mn and O in Oxide 1 and Oxide 2 is in the ratio 1.72 : 3.44, which is also 1 : 2. So the law of multiple proportions is obeyed.
B.
Oxide 1
Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O
= 77.5/22.5
= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.
Oxide 2
Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O
= 77.5/22.5
= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.
This means that there are 7 protons in the nucleus of a nitrogen atom.
Answer:
ΔH = -20kJ
Explanation:
The enthalpy of formation of a compound is defined as the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements. For H₂S(g) the reaction that describes this process is:
H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g)
Using Hess's law, it is possible to sum the enthalpies of several reactions to obtain the change in enthalpy of a particular reaction thus:
<em>(1) </em>H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) → SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) ΔH = -519 kJ
<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ
<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ
The sum of -(1) + (2) + (3) gives:
<em>-(1) </em>SO₂(g) + H₂O(g) → H₂S(g) + ³/₂O₂(g) ΔH = +519 kJ
<em>(2) </em>H₂(g) + ¹/₂O₂(g) → H₂O(g) ΔH = -242 kJ
<em>(3) </em>S(g) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g) ΔH = -297 kJ
<em>-(1) + (2) + (3): </em><em>H₂(g) + S(g) → H₂S(g) </em>
<em>ΔH =</em> +519kJ - 242kJ - 297kJ = <em>-20 kJ</em>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. If an object is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If an object has kinetic energy, then it is moving. Many students confuse kinetic energy with potential energy.
They move because of convection currents in the mantle
