A student has samples of two pure compounds, XClO3 and ZClO3, which contain unknown alkali metals X and Z. The student measures

the mass of each sample and then strongly heats the samples to drive off all the oxygen, leaving solid residues of XCl and ZCl. The student measures the mass of the solid residue from each sample. Which of the following questions can be answered from the results of the experiment?
A. Which has the greater molar mass, X or Z?

B. Which has the higher boiling point, X or Z?

C. Which has the higher melting point, XCl or ZCl?

D. Which has the greater density, XCl or ZCl?

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>A. Which has the greater molar mass, X or Z?</em></u>

Explanation:

By strongly heating up the starting substances to drive off all the oxygen, the student performs the following chemical decomposition reactions:

  • 2XClO₃ (s)  → 2XCl + 3O₂ (g)
  • 2ZClO₃ (s) → 2ZCl + 3O₂ (g)

The student knows the mass of each sample and the mass of the solid residue from each sample. That permits her to determine the mass of oxygen gas released from each sample:

  • mass of oxygen = mass of sample - mass of solid residue

With the mass of oxygen released, she can calculate the number of moles of oxygen in the original sample:

  • number of moles of oxygen = mass in grams of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen

Then she can calculate the number of moles of each sample:

  • There are 3 moles of O in every mole of  XClO₃ and in every ZClO₃.

So, the number of moles of each sample is the number of moles of oxygen released by each one divided by 3.

Now, the formula molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles will permit to determine the molar mass of each sample.

Hence, the student can answer the question A. Which has the greater molar mass, X or Z?

Which will not appear in the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction below?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

[C] carbon solid

Explanation:

Pure solids and liquids are never included in the equilibrium constant expression because they do not affect the reactant amount at equilibrium in the reaction, thus since your equation has [C] as solid it will not be part of the equlibrium equation.

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

Identify the type of solid from the description. Select from the following choices: metallic solid, network solid, molecular sol
scZoUnD [109]

First of all, there are five types of solid materials:  

Metallic solids which are solids composed of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds.

Network solid is a chemical compound in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material.

Molecular solid is a solid consisting of discrete molecules.  

Ionic solid is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding.  

Amorphous solid is non-crystalline solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal.

Now, after the defined all the types of solid materials in the equation lets to solve it.  

A. the answer is the network solids, because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent are typically characterized by hardness, strength, and high melting points.

B. the answer is the metallic solids, due to that heat conduction occurs when a substance is heated and the particles will gain more energy vibrating more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them and in metals this process have a higher probability than in the case of other solids due to the nature of the chemical bonds. It also has a range of hardness due to the strength of metallic bonds which varies dramatically.

C. the answer is the ionic solid; due to positive and negative ions which are  bonded to form a crystalline solid held together by charge attractions.
