Answer:

The correct choice is E (47 neutrons, 35 protons, 36 electrons)

Explanation:

A ion of net charge -1 means that the ion wins an e-.

We dismiss options B and C.

We also dismiss option A because neutrons + protons = 81.

neutrons + protons = mass number

So we have E and C.

We see that C has 47 neutrons, 36 protons and 36 electrons and, as the atomic number matches the number of protons, we find out on the Periodic Table that the atomic number 36 represents to Krypton, a noble gas. It is impossible! A noble gas never can't be a ion of net charge.

Option E is correct, It is an isotope of Br.

Br has 35 protons (its atomic number)

47 neutrons, that's why it is an Isotope (Br has always 45 neutrons)

As usual, Br has 35 electrons, if it represents a ion of net charge -1, it menas it won 1 e-.

Acetylene burns in air according to the following equation: C2H2(g) + 5 2 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + H2O(g) ΔH o rxn = −1255.8 kJ Given

professor190 [17]

Answer: -227 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$C_2H_2(g)+\frac{5}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+H_2O(g)$

The expression for enthalpy change is,

$\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

$\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times \Delta H_{CO_2})+ n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_{H_2O})]-[(n_{C_2H_2}\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_{O_2})]$

where,

n = number of moles

$\Delta H_{O_2}=0$ (as heat of formation of substances in their standard state is zero

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$-1255.8=[(2\times -393.5)+(1\times -241.8)]-[(1\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(\frac{5}{2}\times 0)]$

$-1255.8=[(-787)+(-241.8)]-[(1\times \Delta H_{C_2H_2})+(0)]$

$\Delta H_{C_2H_2}=-227kJ$

Therefore, the enthalpy change for $C_2H_2$ is -227 kJ.

Calculate ΔH and ΔStot when two copper blocks, each of mass 10.0 kg, one at 100°C and the other at 0°C, are placed in contact in

ira [324]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 10.0 kg = 10,000 g (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

Initial temp. of block 1, $T_{1} = 100^{o}C$ = (100 + 273) K = 373 K

Initial temp. of block 2, $T_{2} = 0^{o}C$ = (0 + 273) K = 273 K

So, heat released by block 1 = heat gained by block 2

$mC \Delta T = mC \times \Delta T$

$10000 g \times 0.385 \times (T_{f} - 100)^{o}C = 10000 g \times 0.385 \times (0 - T_{f})^{o}C$

$T_{f} - 100^{o}C = 0^{o}C - T_{f}$

$2T_{f} = 100^{o}C$

$T_{f} = 50^{o}C$

Convert temperature into kelvin as (50 + 273) K = 323 K.

Also, we know that the relation between enthalpy and temperature change is as follows.

$\Delta H = mC \Delta T$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 323 K$

= 1243550 J

or, = 1243.5 kJ

Now, calculate entropy change for block 1 as follows.

$\Delta S_{1} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{373}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times -0.143$

= -554.12 J/K

Now, entropy change for block 2 is as follows.

$\Delta S_{2} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{273}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 0.168$

= 647.49 J/K

Hence, total entropy will be sum of entropy change of both the blocks.

$\Delta S_{total} = \Delta S_{1} + \Delta S_{2}$

= -554.12 J/K + 647.49 J/K

= 93.37 J/K

Thus, we can conclude that for the given reaction $\Delta H$ is 1243.5 kJ and $\Delta S_{total}$ is 93.37 J/K.

Which diatomic molecule is formed when the two atoms share six electrons

Leviafan [203]

The diatomic molecule that is formed when two atoms share six electrons is N2.

The atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic configuration is 2,5. This implies that, nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outermost shell. To attain the octet structure, it needs 3 electrons more. To form a diatomic molecule, two nitrogen atoms come together and each donate three electrons, which are equally shared between the two, thus, each ends up having 8 electrons in its outermost shell.
