Answer:

c) The electron configuration of the ions will match that of a noble gas

Explanation:

The electron configuration of a noble gas is gives it the lowest energy.

a) and d) are wrong. The odd or even number of electrons don't necessarily make an ion more stable.

b) is wrong. The ions will not have the electron configuration of a halogen.

Write the complete balanced equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when aqueous hydroiodic acid, HI, and sodium hy

Serhud [2]

Answer:

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Explanation:

The complete reaction when hydroiodic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate combine, would be as follows -

HI + NaHCO3 ----> NaI + H2O + CO2

net reaction

H2CO3 is highly unstable, and thus decomposes into the water and carbon dioxide you see present as the reactants. If you didn't know already, H2CO3 is also reffered to as carbonic acid. The rest of the elements present on the reactant side are Iodine and Sodium, which is why they are present on the product side as NaI.

Let me include the " physical states " in this reaction as well -

HI ( aq ) + NaHCO3 ( aq ) ----> NaI ( aq ) + H2O ( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Now the complete ionic equation would simply be each compound present as ions in an aqueous solution, so there is no need for an explanation on this step -

H+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + Na+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) -------> Na+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

The spectator ions in this reaction are I- and Na+, so canceling them out, you would receive the following net ionic equation -

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Hope that helps!

Using the equations 2 Sr(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 SrO (s) ∆H° = -1184 kJ/mol SrO (s) + CO₂ (g) → SrCO₃ (s) ∆H° = -234 kJ/mol CO₂ (g) → C(

Answer: The $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 72 kJ.

Explanation:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

$2SrCO_3(s)\rightarrow 2Sr(s)+2C(s)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $2Sr(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SrO(s)$ $\Delta H_1=-1184kJ$

(2) $SrO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow SrCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H_2=-234kJ$ ( × 2)

(3) $CO_2(g)\rightarrow C(s)+O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_3=394kJ$ ( × 2)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (\Delta H_1)]+[2\times (-\Delta H_2)]+[2\times (\Delta H_3)]$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-1184))+(2\times -(-234))+(2\times (394))]=72kJ$

Hence, the $\Delta H^o_{rxn}$ for the reaction is 72 kJ.

What part of the atom determines if it will combine or break apart from other substances?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The atom consist of three parts, proton, neutron and electrons. The electrons determine that i will combine or beak from other substances.

Explanation:

The atom consist of three parts which are following

proton
neutron
electron

The proton and neutron form nucleus of an atom. It is present at center of an atom. They have positive charges, while electrons remained outside the nucleus in particular energy levels or shell around the nucleus.

During combination or breaking of substances ,only arrangements of electrons take place. The valence shell electrons decide whether they have to combine or not, while nucleus remained unchanged during any reactions.
