Answer:
C
Explanation:
A negative deltaH means that the reaction has to give up heat in order to happen. You have to treat deltaH as a reactant. So the question is do you need to add heat to the reactants to make the products. If you do, deltaH is plus.
Heat is required to make a solid go to a gas. deltaH is plus. A is not the answer.
A lot of heat is required for B (something like 400 Kj / mole. Like A, deltaH is plus and B is not the answer.
C: The liquid has to give up heat in order for the this reaction to take place. C is the answer.
D requires heat. It is not the answer.
Answer:
- <u>Cadmium has larger atomic radius than sulfur.</u>
Explanation:
Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period: when a proton is added the pull of the electrons towards the nucleus is larger, so the size of the atom decreases.
Hence, you can compare the elements that belong to a same period and predict that the atom with lower atomic number (number of protons) will haver larger atomic radius. With that:
- Oxygen and fluorine are in the period 3, being oxygen to the left of fluorine, so oxygen is larger than fluorine.
- Sulfur and chlorine are in the period 4, being sulfur to the left of chlorine, so sulfur is larger than chlorine.
Now see whan happens down a group. Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group due to electron shielding. That permits you to compare the size of the elements in a group:
- Fluorine and chlorine are in the same group (17), with chlorine directly below fluorine, so the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than the atomic radius of fluorine.
- Sulfur and oxygen are in the same group (16), with sulfur directlly below oxygen, so sulfur the atomic radius of sulfur is larger than the atocmi radius of oxygen.
So far, you can rank the atomic radius of sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen, in increasing order as:
- O < F < Cl < S, concluding that O, F, and Cl have smaller atomic radius than S.
Cadmiun, Cd, is to the left and below sulfur, so both electron shielding (down a group) and increase of the number of protons (down a period) lead to predict the cadmium has a larger atomic radius than sulfur.
