Answer:It is not an element because elements are the purest form of a substance; hence, they are no longer broken down by heating

Na (atomic no. 11) reacts with Cl (atomic no. 17) to become stable. In the reaction, Na will ____________, while Cl will _______
nignag [31]

Answer:

Sodium will an electron and chlorine will gain an electron

Explanation:

The electronic configurations of sodium and chlorine are;

Sodium- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

Chlorine- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

Hence, sodium can easily loose one electron to chlorine to attain a noble gas configuration while chlorine accepts one electron to attain the noble gas configuration.

The final overall chemical equation is Upper Ca upper O (s) plus upper C upper O subscript 2 (g) right arrow upper C a upper C u
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

Explanation:

Let us take a look at the first and second intermediate reactions as well as the overall reaction equation for the process under review;

First reaction;

Ca (s) + CO₂ (g) + ½O₂ (g) → CaCO₃ (s) ΔH₁ = -812.8 kJ

Second reaction;

2Ca (s) + O₂ (g) → 2CaO (s) ΔH₂ = -1269 kJ

Hence the overall equation is now;

CaO (s) + CO₂ (g) → CaCO₃ (s) ΔH = ?

According to the Hess law of constant heat summation, the enthalpy of the overall reaction is supposed to be obtained as a sum of the enthalpy of both reactions but this will not give the enthalpy of the overall reaction in this case. The enthalpy of the overall reaction is rather obtained by halving the enthalpy of the second intermediate reaction and reversing its sign before taking the sum as shown below;

Enthalpy of Intermediate reaction 1 + ½(- Enthalpy of Intermediate reaction 2) = Enthalpy of Overall reaction

Uranium–232 has a half–life of 68.9 years. A sample from 206.7 years ago contains 1.40 g of uranium–232. How much uranium was or
givi [52]

<u>Answer:</u> The initial amount of Uranium-232 present is 11.3 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the radioactive reactions follows first order kinetics.

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

We are given:

t_{1/2}=68.9yrs

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{68.9}=0.0101yr^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.0101yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 206.7 yrs

[A_o] = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process = 1.40 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0101yr^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{206.7yrs}\log\frac{[A_o]}{1.40}

[A_o]=11.3g

Hence, the initial amount of Uranium-232 present is 11.3 grams.
