Why is cl2 a subcript​

Chemistry
1 answer:
vazorg [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

In Cl_2, the 2 is a subscript because it indicates there are 2 of the same elements. The Lewis structure would display it as Cl-Cl.

On the other hand, a superscript would indicate a specific charge.

All subscripts show the amount of the specific element there is.

An example would be O_2\\ or N_2, they both show that there are 2 of the same elements.

If the subscript is outside a parenthesis such as Ca_3(PO_4)_2 it indicates there are 2 PO_4 molecules.

Calculate the standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol at its boiling point, 352 K. The standard molar enthalpy of vaporizati
Korvikt [17]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) +115 J/mol.K

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T_b}

where,

\Delta S = change in entropy

\Delta H_{vap} = change in enthalpy of vaporization = 40.5 kJ/mol

T_b = boiling point temperature = 352 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{T_b}

\Delta S=\frac{40.5kJ/mol}{352K}

\Delta S=115J/mol.K

Therefore, the standard entropy of vaporization of ethanol at its boiling point is +115 J/mol.K

A container is filled with a mixture of gases:
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The partial pressure of chlorine gas in the mixture is 1.55 atm.

Explanation:

Partial pressure of oxygen gas = p_1=1.0 atm

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas = p_2=0.75 atm

Partial pressure of chlorine gas = p_3=?

Total pressure of the mixture of gases = P = 3.30 atm

Using Dalton's law of partial pressure:

P=p_1+p_2+p_3

3.30 atm=1.0 atm+ 0.75 atm+p_3

p_3=3.30atm - (1.0 atm+ 0.75 atm)=1.55 atm

The partial pressure of chlorine gas in the mixture is 1.55 atm.
