Thee question is incomplete; the complete question is;

Which elements do not strictly follow the octet rule when they appear in the Lewis structure of a molecule?

Select one or more:

A: Chlorine

B: Carbon

C: Hydrogen

D: Sulfur

E: Fluorine

F: Oxygen

Answer:

chlorine

sulphur

Explanation:

The octet rule states that, for atoms to be stable, they must have eight electrons on their outermost shells.

This rule is not strictly followed by some elements such as sulphur and chlorine. The atoms of these elements can sometimes expand their octet by utilizing the d-orbitals found in the third principal energy level and beyond.

These leads to formation of compounds in which the central atom has more than eight electrons in its outermost shell.

Sodium reacts with chlorine gas according to the following reaction: 2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s) What volume of Cl2 gas, measured at

asambeis [7]

Answer:6.719Litres of Cl2 gas.

Explanation:According to eqn of rxn

2Na +Cl2=2NaCl

P=689torr=689/760=0.91atm

T=39°C+273=312K

according to stoichiometry of the reaction,1Moles of Cl2 gives 2moles of NaCl

But 28g of NaCl was given,we have to convert this to moles by using the relation, n=mass/MW

MW of NaCl=23+35.5=58.5g/mol

n=28g(mass given of NaCl)/58.5

n=0.479moles of NaCl

Going back to the reaction,

if 1moles of Cl2 produces 2moles of NaCl

x moles of Cl2 will give 0.479moles of NaCl.

x=0.479*1/2

x=0.239moles of Cl2.

To find the volume, we use ideal ggas eqn,PV=nRT

V=nRT/P

V=0.239*0.082*312/0.91

V=6.719Litres

A sample of neon gas at a pressure of 1.08 atm fills a flask with a volume of 250 mL at a temperature of 24.0 °C. If the gas is

musickatia [10]

Answer:

124.91mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

P₁ = 1.08atm

V₁ = 250mL

T₁ = 24°C

P₂ = 2.25atm

T₂ = 37.2°C

V₂ = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply the combined gas law;

$\frac{P_{1} V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

P, V and T represents pressure, volume and temperature

1 and 2 delineates initial and final states

Convert the temperature to kelvin;

T₁ = 24°C, T₁ = 24 + 273 = 297K

T₂ = 37.2°C , T₂ = 37.2 + 273 = 310.2K

Input the variables and solve for V₂

$\frac{1.08 x 250}{298} = \frac{2.25 x V_{2} }{310.2}$

V₂ = 124.91mL

Ammonia gas is compressed from 21°C and 200 kPa to 1000 kPa in an adiabatic compressor with an efficiency of 0.82. Estimate the

Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

It is known that efficiency is denoted by $\eta$ .

The given data is as follows.

$\eta$ = 0.82, $T_{1}$ = (21 + 273) K = 294 K

$P_{1}$ = 200 kPa, $P_{2}$ = 1000 kPa

Therefore, calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\eta = \frac{T_{2} - T_{1}}{T_{2}}$

0.82 = $\frac{T_{2} - 294 K}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2}$ = 1633 K

Final temperature in degree celsius = $(1633 - 273)^{o}C$

= $1360^{o}C$

Now, we will calculate the entropy as follows.

$\Delta S = nC_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + nR ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

For 1 mole, $\Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

It is known that for $NH_{3}$ the value of $C_{v}$ = 0.028 kJ/mol.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\Delta S = C_{v} ln \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} + R ln \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

= $0.028 kJ/mol \times ln \frac{1633}{294} + 8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ \times ln \frac{200}{1000}$

= 0.0346 kJ/mol

or, = 34.6 J/mol (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, entropy change of ammonia is 34.6 J/mol.
