Answer:

m = 95.47 g

Explanation:

The reaction is missing. I found it, and here's the missing part:

SiO2(s) + 4HF(s) -> SiF4(s) + 2H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = -184 kJ

According to the reaction, 2 moles of water are produced in this reaction, and this also produces 488 kJ of energy.

To calculate the mass of any compound we use the expression:

m = n*MM

The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol. so, we need the moles of water to get the mass. The relation between the heat and energy is the following:

ΔH = Q/n ---> solving for n:

n = Q/ΔH.

So, let's calculate moles of water used here:

n = 488 * 2/184

n = 5.304 moles

Now we can calculate the mass:

m = 5.304 * 18

m = 95.47 g

Based on your answers to parts a, b, and c select the best lewis structure (electron-dot structure) for hoi.

vodomira [7]

Answer : The lewis dot structure includes the lone pair of electrons in any element and is helpful for defining the bond formation using the electrons.

In the molecule of HOI hydrogen is to the left of oxygen; oxygen is in middle and Iodine is at right of oxygen.

The picture is attached for better understanding.

What attractive force draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds?

Dmitrij [34]

The formation of chemical bonds occurs due to the attractive forces between oppositely charged ions (ionic bonds) or by sharing of electrons (covalent bonds).

An atom having tendency of attracting a shared pair of electrons towards itself and this chemical property is said to Electronegativity .

Thus, the attractive forces which draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds is electronegativity.

In which of the following reactions does a decrease in the volume of the reaction vessel at constant

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is: A) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

Explanation:

According to the Le Chatelier's principle, change in the volume of the reaction system causes equilibrium to shift in the direction that reduces the effect of the volume change.

When the volume decreases then the pressure of the reaction vessel increases, then the equilibrium shifts towards the reaction side that produces less number of moles of gas.

A) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 3 and number of moles of product is 2.

Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the product side, thereby favoring the formation of products.

B) NO₂(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant and product both is 2.

Therefore, when the volume decreases, the equilibrium does not shift in any direction.

C) H₂(g) + I₂(g) → 2HI(g)

The number of moles of reactant and product both is 2.

Therefore, when the volume decreases, the equilibrium does not shift in any direction.

D) 2O₃(g) → 3O₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 2 and number of moles of product is 3.

Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the reactant side, thereby favoring the formation of reactants.

E) MgCO₃(s) → MgO(s) + CO₂(g)

The number of moles of reactant is 1 and number of moles of product is 2.

Therefore, when volume decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the reactant side, thereby favoring the formation of reactants.
