3 0

Answer:

A. iodine

C. fluorine

F. bromine

Explanation:

Ionic bonds occur mostly between metals and non-metals. Usually, a wide electronegativity difference is preferred between the two atoms. This makes one atom more desirous to gain electron and other more willing to donate electrons.

To have Zn forming a compound in the ratio of 1 to 2, the combining power must be similar to this.

The dominant oxidation state of Zn is the is the +2 state.

The other combining atoms must have the ability to recieve the two electrons.

The halogens fit perfectly into this picture. They need just an electron to attain nobility. They are also highly electronegative. If two halogens combines with the Zn, then the ionic bond will result.

The halogens are fluorine,chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

They will form these compounds:

ZnF₂, ZnBr₂ and ZnI₂

Calculate the amount of work done against an atmospheric pressure of 1.00 atm when 500.0 g of zinc dissolves in excess acid at 3

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

19,26 kJ

Explanation:

The work done when a gas expand with a constant atmospheric pressure is:

W = PΔV

Where P is pressure and ΔV is the change in volume of gas.

Assuming the initial volume is 0, the reaction of 500g of Zn with H⁺ (Zn(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + H₂(g)) produce:

500,0g Zn(s)× $\frac{1molZn}{65,38g}$ × $\frac{1molH_{2}(g)}{1molZn}$ = 7,648 moles of H₂

At 1,00atm and 303,15K (30°C), the volume of these moles of gas is:

V = nRT/P

V = 7,648mol×0,082atmL/molK×303,15K / 1,00atm

V = 190,1L

That means that ΔV is:

190,1L - 0L = <em>190,1L</em>

And the work done is:

W = 1atm×190,1L = 190,1atmL.

In joules:

190,1 atmL× $\frac{101,325}{1atmL}$ = <em>19,26 kJ</em>

I hope it helps!

Octane is a liquid component of gasoline. Given the following vapor pressures of octane at various temperatures, estimate the bo

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

110.8 ºC

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will make use of the Clausius-Clayperon equation:

lnP = - ΔHºvap/RT + C

where P is the pressure, ΔHºvap is the enthalpy of vaporization, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, and C is a constant of integration.

Now this equation has a form y = mx + b where

y = lnP

x = 1/T

m = -ΔHºvap/R

Now we have to assume that ΔHºvap remains constant which is a good asumption given the narrow range of temperatures in the data ( 104-125) ºC

Thus what we have to do is find the equation of the best fit for this data using a software as excel or your calculator.

T ( K) 1/T ln P

377 0.002653 5.9915

384 0.002604 6.2115

390 0.002564 6.3969

395 0.002532 6.5511

398 0.002513 6.6333

The best line has a fit:

y = -4609.5 x + 18.218

with R² = 0.9998

Now that we have the equation of the line, we simply will substitute for a pressure of 496 mm in Leadville.

ln(496) = -4609.5(1/Tb) + 18.218

6.2066 = -4609.5(1/Tb) +18.218

⇒ 1/Tb = (18.218 - 6.2066)/4609.5 = 0.00261

Tb = 383.76 K = (383.76 -273)K = 110.8 ºC

Notice we have touse up to 4 decimal places since rounding could lead to an erroneous answer ( i.e boiling temperature greater than 111, an impossibility given the data in the question). This is as a result of the value 496 mmHg so close to 500 mm Hg.

Perhaps that is the reason the question was flagged.

Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?

Lana71 [14]

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).
