Answer:

When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

WINSTONCH [101]

d G = 2 (dG NOCl) - 2 (dG NO)

= 2 * 66.08 - 2 * 87.6 = -43.04 kJ /mol

dG = - 2.303 RT log K

-43.04 = - 2.303 RT log K

7.54 = log K

K = 3.42 * 10^7

Kp = k (RT)^dn

d n = 2 - 1 -2 = -1

Kp = (3.42 * 10^7) (8.314 * 298)^-1

Kp = 1.31 * 10^4

Which of the following is NOT an exothermic reaction?
nignag [31]

Answer:

a) dissolving sugar in water to form a mixture of sugar and water

Explanation:

exothermic reaction is reaction in which is heat is released during the reaction and endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is needed or required for the reaction to take place

all the options excluding option A) is exothermic as during the process of formation of bonds in oxidation, heat is released. rusting too is a slow form of oxidation and thus an exothermic reaction.

dissolving sugar in water is not exothermic reaction because their is no heat released. the sugar molecules simply disperses in the water molecules and form a solution.

How to solve the chemical formula for Calcium Chlorate
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Ca(ClO3)2

Explanation:

The chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO3)2, which means in this molecule, Ca2+ ion is bonded to two ClO3- ions. So the formula can be expended to O3Cl-Ca-ClO3, or CaCl2O6 (basically times the numbers of the elements inside the bracket by the number outside the bracket.
