Elemental zinc displaces the copper

Explanation:

In this reaction the zinc added to the copper sulfate solution has displaced the copper in the compound.

This is a single displacement reaction.

                      Zn + CuSO₄     →   ZnSO₄    +  Cu

This is the reaction of the recycling process.

The reaction is driving by the positions of the elements in the reactivity series of metal.

  • In a single displacement reaction, an atom higher up in the activity series displaces another that is lower.
  • Zinc is higher that copper in the activity series and it reacts with the sulfate.
  • It will then push the copper out as the solid product in the solution.
  • Elements higher up in the series are more reactive

Titanium metal requires a photon with a minimum energy of 6.94×10⁻¹⁹J to emit electrons. What is the wavelength of this light? E
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:2.86x10^-7m

Explanation:E=hc/^

E=6.94x10^-19J

c = 2.9979x10^8m/s

h= 6.626x10^-34Js

^ =( 6.626x10^-34)x( 2.9979x 10^8)/ 6.94x10^-19

= 2.86x10^-7m

Use average bond energies to calculate ΔHrxn for the following hydrogenation reaction: H2C=CH2(g)+H2(g)→H3C−CH3(g)
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The\Delta H_{rxn} of the given reaction is -129.6 kJ

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is as follows.

H_{2}C=CH_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow H_{3}C-CH_{3}(g)

Enthalpy of each reactant and products are as follows.

\Delta H_{C=C}\,=615.0\,kJ\,mol^{-1}

\Delta H _{H-H}\,=435.1\,kJ\,mol^{-1}

\Delta H _{C-C}\,=347.3\,kJ\,mol^{-1}

\Delta H _{C-H}\,=416.2\,kJ\,mol^{-1}

In the given chemical reaction involved two C-H bonds in the reactant side and one C-C bond in the product side therefore, the enthalpy of formation will be the negative.

\Delta H_{rxn}=-\Delta H_{C-C}-2\Delta H_{C-H}+\Delta H_{C=C}+\Delta H_{H-H}

=-347.4-2\times416.2+615.0+435.1

=-129.6 \,kJ

Therefore, The\Delta H_{rxn} of the given reaction is -129.6 kJ

Using periodic trends, place the following bonds in order of increasing ionic character. Si-P Si-Cl Si-S Using periodic trends,
mars1129 [50]

Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed by transfer of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms. Whereas a covalent bond is defined as the bond formed by sharing of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms.

When electronegativity difference is from 0.0 to 0.4 then bond formed between the two atoms is non-polar covalent in nature.

When electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7 then bond between the two atoms is a polar covalent bond.

When electronegativity difference is 1.7 or greater than the bond formed is ionic in nature.

Therefore, electronegativity difference of the given species is as follows.

Si-P = 2.1 - 1.8 = 0.3

Si-Cl = 3.0 - 1.8 = 1.2

Si-S = 2.5 - 1.8 = 0.7

Thus, we can conclude that given bonds are placed in order of increasing ionic character as follows.

                           Si-P < Si-S < Si-Cl

In fractional distillation, liquid can be seen running from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distilling flask
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

substances with a higher boiling point are returning back to the flask which allows another substances with the specific context temperature (lower boiling point) to boil over and be purified.

Explanation:

The reason it happens because the lower boiling point substance vaporizes and crosses over while the other substance is waiting for its boiling point to reach
