When carbon is burned in air carbon iv oxide gas is formed.
C (s) + O2 (g) = CO2(g) ΔH = - 393.5 kj/mol
The enthalpy change of the reaction is -393.5 j/mol which means that when one mole of carbon is completely burnt in air then 393.5 j of energy is evolved.
Thus, 1 mole = -393.5 j , then for 480 kj
= 480 × 1/393.5
= 1.2198 moles
1 mole of carbon iv oxide is equal to 44 g
thus, 1.2198 moles will be 1.2198 × 44 = 53.6712 g of CO2
Examples of pure substances are tin, sulfur, diamond, water, pure sugar, table salt, and baking soda
The lattice energy is the amount of energy released when the ions that make up a crystal lattice are brought together. Now, this energy is dependent on the charge concentration of these ions. Both potassium and rubidium form ions with a +1 charge, while bromine and iodine form ions with -1 charge. However, because potassium and bromine are smaller than rubidium and iodine respectively, the charge is more concentrated. Therefore, more energy is released when potassium and bromine are brought together.
A cation is a positive charged ion and a anion is a negatively charged ion. An electron will make a cation if it is lost and a anion if it is gained.
The etymology of the prefix cat- means the way down: so think of the sun setting down and losing light. Cat = losing electrons (Such as in a CAThode ray).
The etymology of the prefix -an means upwards. So think of the sun rising up and becoming brighter. An = gaining electrons and becoming overall more negative as electrons are negatively charged.
