<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.24 × 10³ kJ/mol

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question we are given;

Heat capacity of the calorimeter =23.3 kJ/°C

Temperature change, ΔT = 76°C - 35°C

                                          =  41 °C

Mass of ethanol = 35.6 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

We are required to determine the molar enthalpy

We can use the following steps:

<h3> Step 1 : Calculate the heat change of the reaction</h3>

Heat change will be equivalent to heat gained by the calorimeter.

Therefore;

Heat = heat capacity × change in temperature

Q = CΔT

   =  23.33 kJ/°C × 41°C

   = 955.3 kJ

<h3>Step 2 : Calculate the moles of ethanol burned </h3>

Moles = mass ÷ Molar mass

Therefore;

Moles of ethanol = 35.6 g ÷ 46.07 g/mol

                            = 0.773 moles

<h3>Step 3: Calculate the molar enthalpy of the reaction </h3>

Heat change for 0.773 moles of ethanol is 955.3 kJ

0.773 moles = 955.3 kJ

1 mole will have ,

    = 955.3 kJ ÷ 0.773 moles

    = 1235.83 kJ/mol

    = 1.24 × 10³ kJ/mol

But since the reaction is exothermic (release of heat) then the enthalpy change will have a negative sign.

Thus;

ΔH = -1.24 × 10³ kJ/mol

II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)

and

III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)

will form covalent bonds, so the answer will be:

e. II and III

Explanation:

To know is what type of bond is formed between atoms we need to look at the electronegativity difference between the atoms.

If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 there is a nonpolar covalent bond.

If the electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.8 there is a polar covalent bond. (if is a metal involved we consider the bond to be ionic)

If the electronegativity difference is greater then 1.8 there is an ionic bond.

We have the following cases:

I. lithium (Li) and sulfur (S)

electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 1 (Li) = 1.5 but because there is a metal involved the bond will be ionic

II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)

electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 2.5 (C) = 0 so the bond will be nonpolar covalent

III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)

electronegativity difference = 4 (F) - 3.5 (O) = 0.5 so the bond will be polar covalent bond.

Hibernation is _______. A. An example of an abiotic cycle b. Triggered by changes in the weather c. Caused only by biotic factor
natta225 [31]

The correct answer is option b, that is, triggered by changes in the weather.  

Hibernation refers to a state of lower metabolism and inactivity usually witnessed in endotherms. This condition is featured by a slow heart rate, slow breathing, low metabolic rate, and low body temperature. It assists the majority of the endotherms to thrive in the cold seasons. For example, hibernation of a bear in winters. Therefore, weather change can stimulate hibernation.

Which statement best explains why calcium has a larger atomic radius than magnesium? A. Calcium has a stronger nuclear charge th
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. calcium has electrons in more energy levels than magnesium

Explanation:

atoms are made of three types of subatomic particles - electrons, protons and neutrons.

Neutrons and protons reside in the nucleus of the atom and electrons reside in energy shells

electronic configuration for both Ca and Mg are as follows

Mg - 2,8,2

Ca - 2,8,8,2

outermost energy shell of Mg with electrons is the third energy level

whereas outermost energy shell of Ca with electrons is the fourth energy shell

therefore Ca has a larger atomic radius than Mg as it has one more energy shell than Mg in which electrons reside
