AlexFokin [52]

Electrolysis of water is the decomposition reaction, because from one molecule (water) two molecules (hydrogen and oxygen) are produced. Water is separeted into two molecules:
Reaction of reduction at cathode: 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → H₂(g).
Reaction of oxidation at anode: 2H₂O(l) → O₂(g) + 4H⁺(aq) + 4e⁻.

Be sure to answer all parts. The equilibrium constant (Kp) for the reaction below is 4.40 at 2000. K. H2(g) + CO2(g) ⇌ H2O(g) +

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

For 1: The value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -24.636 kJ/mol

For 2: The value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -20.925 kJ/mol

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

$H_2(g)+CO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2O(g)+CO(g)$

For 1:

To calculate the $\Delta G$ for given value of equilibrium constant, we use the relation:

$\Delta G=-RT\ln K_p$ .....(1)

where,

$\Delta G$ = ? kJ/mol

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 2000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 4.40

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 2000K\times \ln (4.40)\\\\\Delta G=-24636.12J/mol$

Converting this into kilo joules, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, -24636.12 J/mol = -24.636 kJ/mol

Hence, the value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -24.636 kJ/mol

For 2:

The expression of $K_p$ for the given chemical equation is:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CO}p_{H_2O}}{p_{H_2}p_{CO_2}}$

We are given:

$p_{CO}=1.18atm\\p_{H_2O}=0.66atm\\p_{CO_2}=0.82atm\\p_{H_2}=0.27atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{1.18\times 0.66}{0.27\times 0.82}\\\\K_p=3.52$

Now, calculating the value of $\Delta G$ by using equation 1:

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 2000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.52

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 2000K\times \ln (3.52)\\\\\Delta G=-20925.68J/mol$

Converting this into kilo joules, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, -20925.68 J/mol = -20.925 kJ/mol

Hence, the value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -20.925 kJ/mol

Compare which element would have larger first ionization energy: an alkali metal in Period 2 or an alkali metal in Period 4?

maria [59]

Answer:

An alkali metal present in period 2 have larger first ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

The amount of energy required to remove the electron from the atom is called ionization energy.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus. Thus alkali metal present in period 2 have larger ionization energy because of more nuclear attraction as compared to the alkali metal present in period 4.

Calculate the pOH of a solution if the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is 1.9 x 10-5M?

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

9.28

Explanation:

pOH refers to a measure of hydroxide ions concentration. pOH tells about the alkalinity of a solution. If pOH is less than 7 then aqueous solutions are alkaline, acidic if pOH is greater than 7 and neutral if pOH is equal to 7.

Concentration of the hydroxide ions = 1.9 x 10-5 M

pH = $-log(1.9\times 10^{-5})=4.72$

pOH = 14 - pH

=14 - 4.72 = 9.28
