N2 (g) + 2O2(g) = 2NO2 (g) ΔH = 66.4 kJ 2NO (g) + O2 (g) = 2NO2 (g) ΔH = -114.2 kJ the enthalpy of the reaction of the nitrogen
RSB [31]

Answer:

ΔH  = 180.6 kJ

Explanation:

Given that:

N2 (g) + 2O2(g) = 2NO2 (g)           ΔH = 66.4 kJ

<u>2NO (g) + O2 (g) = 2NO2 (g)         ΔH = -114.2 kJ                     </u>

N2 (g) + O2 (g) = 2NO (g)              ΔH  = ????

The subtraction of both equations would yield the unknown ΔH , therefore:

ΔH = 66.4 - ( - 114.2 kJ)

ΔH  = 180.6 kJ

Why do all atoms of an element have the same atomic number, although they may have different mass numbers?. What do we call atom
3241004551 [841]
The isotopes of an element differ in the number or neutrons whereas the number of protons or electrons of a neutral atom stays the same. The molar mass of the element is based on the percent abundances of different isotopes and the individual molar mass of each isotope.

The density of osmium, which is the densest metal, is 22.57 g/cm^3. What is the mass of a block of osmium that measures 1.00 cm
olganol [36]
Density = Mass / Volume
V = 1.00 * 4.00 * 2.50 = 10 cm³
22.57 g/cm³ = Mass / 10 cm³
M = 22.57 g/cm³ * 10 cm³
M = 225.7 g
Answer: The mass of the block of osmium is 225.7 g.

Scientists in a lab are working with two different samples of the element mercury. They know that the different samples are diff
NeTakaya

Answer:

the mass number

Explanation:

Isotopes are numerous forms of one single element. In simple terms, atomic weights are different for the isotopes. Isotopes refer to the atoms that have the same number of protons but different neutron numbers. The physical properties of the isotopes vary because these properties also based on mass. These variations can be used to distinguish isotopes of an element from each other by applying methods such as fractional distillation and diffusion.
