A 2 mole sample of F2(g) reacts with excess NaOH(aq) according to the equation above. If the reaction is repeated with excess Na
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The amount of NaF produced is doubled.

(d) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

A 2 mole sample of F₂ reacts with excess NaOH according to the equation.

The balance equation is

2F_{2}+2NaOH\Rightarrow 2NaF +H_{2}O+OF_{2}

If the reaction is repeated with excess NaOH but with 1 mole of F₂

The balance equation is

F_{2}+2NaOH\Rightarrow 2NaF +2OH

Hence, The amount of NaF produced is doubled.

(d) is correct option.

A sample of a compound of Cl and O reacts with an excess of H2 to give 0.233g of HCl and 0.403g of H2O. Determine the empirical
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Cl₂O₇

Explanation:

For the reaction:

ClₓOₙ + H₂ → HCl + H₂O

Moles of HCl and moles of H₂O are:

HCl: 0.233g HCl ₓ (1mol / 36.46g) = 6.39x10⁻³ mol HCl

H₂O: 0.403g H₂O ₓ (1mol / 18.02g) = 2.236x10⁻² mol H₂O

As you can see, moles of HCl are equivalent to moles of Cl in the compound and moles of H₂O are equivalent to moles of O in the compound, that means:

6.39x10⁻³ mol Cl

2.236x10⁻² mol O

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms presents in a molecule. If Cl is <em>1</em>, Oxygen will be:

2.236x10⁻² mol / 6.39x10⁻³ = <em>3.5</em>

As empirical formula must be given in natural numbers, the empirical formula is:

<em>Cl₂O₇</em>

Write a balanced equation for the transmutation that occurs when a scandium-48 nucleus undergoes beta decay.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

A scandium-48 nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay to produce a titanium-48 nucleus.

\rm ^{48}_{21}Sc \to ^{48}_{22}Ti + ^{\phantom{1}\,0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_e.

Explanation:

There are two types of beta decay modes: beta-minus and beta-plus.

In both decay modes, the mass number of the nucleus stays the same.

However, in a beta-minus decay, the atomic number of the nucleus increases by one. In a beta-plus decay, the atomic number decreases by one.

Each beta-minus decay releases one electron and one electron antineutrino. Each beta-plus decay releases one positron and one electron neutrino.

Look up the atomic number and relative atomic mass for the element scandium.

  • The atomic number of \rm Sc is 21.
  • The relative atomic mass of \rm Sc is approximately 45.0.

This question did not specify whether the decay here is beta-plus or a beta-minus. However, the relative atomic mass of this element can give a rough estimate of the mode of decay.

Each element (e.g, \rm Sc) can have multiple isotopes. These isotopes differ in mass. The relative atomic mass of an element is an average  across all isotopes of this element. This mass is weighted based on the relative abundance of the isotopes. Its value should be closest to the most stable (and hence the most abundant) isotope.

The mass number of scandium-48 is significantly larger than the relative atomic mass of this element. In other words, this isotope contains more neutrons than isotopes that are more stable. There's a tendency for that neutron to convert to a proton- by beta-minus decay, for example.

The atomic number of the nucleus will increase by 1. 21 + 1 = 22. That corresponds to titanium. The mass number stays the same at 48. Hence the daughter nucleus would be titanium-48. Note that two other particles: one electron and one electron \rm e^{-} and one antineutrino \bar{v}_{\text{e}} (note the bar.) The neutrino helps balance the lepton number of this reaction.

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

What is the hybridization of the central atom in each of the following? 1. Beryllium chloride 2. Nitrogen dioxide 3. Carbon tetr
Lina20 [59]

Answer :

(1) The hybridization of central atom beryllium in BeCl_2  is, sp

(2) The hybridization of central atom nitrogen in NO_2  is, sp^2

(3) The hybridization of central atom carbon in CCl_4  is, sp^3

(4) The hybridization of central atom xenon in XeF_4  is, sp^3d^2

Explanation :

Formula used  :

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the following molecules.

(1) The given molecule is, BeCl_2

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [2+2]=2

The number of electron pair are 2 that means the hybridization will be sp and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

(2) The given molecule is, NO_2

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4]=2

If the sum of the number of sigma bonds, lone pair of electrons and odd electrons present is equal to three then the hybridization will be, sp^2.

In nitrogen dioxide, there are two sigma bonds and one lone electron pair. So, the hybridization will be, sp^2.

(3) The given molecule is, CCl_4

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4+4]=4

The number of electron pair are 4 that means the hybridization will be sp^3 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

(4) The given molecule is, XeF_4

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [8+4]=6

Bond pair electrons = 4

Lone pair electrons = 6 - 4 = 2

The number of electrons are 6 that means the hybridization will be sp^3d^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be octahedral.

But as there are four atoms around the central xenon atom, the fifth and sixth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be square planar.
