What is the ground state electron configuration for B3+ ?

1 answer:

5 0

The ground state electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom with lower energy levels. The electrons occupying the orbitals of varying energy levels naturally falls towards the lowest energy state or ground state.

Find the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene, C2H4(g), given the following data: C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) --> 2CO2(g) + 2 H2O

Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

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

The formation reaction of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$2C(s)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)$ $\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-1411kJ$

(2) $C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=-393.5kJ$

(3) $H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=-285.8kJ$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1, multiply reaction 2 and 3 by 2 then adding all the equation, we get :

(1) $2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=+1411kJ$

(2) $2C(s)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-393.5kJ)=-787kJ$

(3) $2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_3=2\times (-285.8kJ)=-571.6kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+1411kJ)+(-787kJ)+(-571.6kJ)$

$\Delta H=52.4kJ$

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of ethylene is, 52.4 kJ

How many bromine atoms are present in 39.4 g of CH2Br2

strojnjashka [21]

37.8 g CH2Br2 X (1 mol CH2Br2 / 173.83 g) = 4.60X10^-3 mol CH2Br2

<span>4.60X10^-3 mol CH2Br2 X (2 mol Br / 1 mol CH2Br2) X 6.02X10^23 atoms/mol = 5.54X10^21 bromine atoms</span>

What does the atmosphere do for us

Rasek [7]

The atmosphere protects us and what is on earth from the suns rays and also harmful radiation. It's kind of like a barrier between the sun's direct rays and earth. <span />
