Answer:
Covalent, or, elements on the right side of the ladder (on the periodic table). Covalent compounds satisfy the octet rule by sharing electrons.
Oxygen and neon are both elements. Oxygen has 8 electrons and 8 protons. Neon has 10 electrons and 10 protons. Oxygen is also a non-metal element and Neon is a noble gas.
a) First, to get ΔG°rxn we have to use this formula when:
ΔG° = - RT ㏑ K
when ΔG° is Gibbs free energy
and R is the constant = 8.314 J/mol K
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25 °C+ 273 = 298 K
and when K = 4.4 x 10^-2
so, by substitution:
ΔG°= - 8.314 * 298 *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)
= -7739 J = -7.7 KJ
b) then, to get E° cell for a redox reaction we have to use this formula:
ΔE° Cell = (RT / nF) ㏑K
when R is a constant = 8.314 J/molK
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25°C + 273 = 298 K
and n = no.of moles of e- from the balanced redox reaction= 3
and F is Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol
and K = 4.4 x 10^-2
so, by substitution:
∴ ΔE° cell = (8.314 * 298 / 3* 96485) *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)
= - 2.7 x 10^-2 V
No atoms are lost or made during the chemical reaction so the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In an atom, protons and neutrons contribute to the mass and since the number of them doesn’t change, the mass doesn’t either.
