Answer 2

Ice wedging can be defined as the property of frozen water to take more space than liquid water. Thus, option C is correct.

The ice has been the solid state of water. The liquid molecules bond together for the resulting solid molecule.

Ice wedging can be defined as the mechanical weathering of the rock by the effect of ice. The rocks have consisted of cracks that accumulated water in them.

With the decrease in the temperature, the water has been expanded and has been converted to ice. The expansion of water in the cracks results in the breaking of the rocks.

Thus, ice wedging can be defined as the property of frozen water to take more space than liquid water. Thus, option C is correct.

d. H2S

Answers

Answer:

CF4- electron geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- tetrahedral

bond angle- 109 degrees

NF3- electron geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- trigonal planar

bond angle - less than 109 degrees

OF2 - electron geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- bent

bond angle- less than 109 degrees

H2S- electron geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- bent

less than 109 degrees

Explanation:

All the compounds mentioned here are based on a tetrahedron according to VSEPR theory. There are four regions of electron density in each molecule.

However, the presence of lone pairs causes a distortion away from the expected tetrahedral geometry predicted by VSEPR theory.

Hence the presence of one or more lone pairs on the valence shell of the central atom causes distortion from the expected geometry.

If you add 0.001 moles of sodium chloride to a liter of water, what will be the pH of the solution?

Answers

Answer:

The pH of the resulting solution will be 7.

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is a salt that is formed from the reaction of sodium hydroxide  (a strong base) and hydrochloric acid ( a strong acid), as shown below.

[tex]NaOH \ + \ HCl ----> \ NaCl \ + \ H_2O[/tex]

Generally, when strong acids react with strong bases, neutral salts and water are formed. Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is an example of such neutral salts formed.

Since sodium chloride (NaCl) is neutral, its concentration will not alter the pH of the water and the pH of the resulting solution will be 7.

Molecular iodine,
I2(g)
dissociates into iodine atoms at 625 K with a first-order rate constant of
0.271s-1
What is the half-life for this reaction?

Answers

Answer:

Half-life for this reaction is 2.56s

Explanation:

The general expression in a reaction that follows first-order is:

Ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

Where [A] is concentration of reactant after time t,

k is rate constant = 0.271s⁻¹

[A]₀ is initial concentration of reactant.

Half-life is defined as the time required to decrease the initial concentration of the reactant (I2 in this case) halved.

If [A]₀ = 1

[A] = 1/2

Solving the equation:

Ln[1/2] = -0.271s⁻¹*t + ln[1]

Ln[1/2] = -0.271s⁻¹*t + 0

Ln[1/2] = -0.271s⁻¹t

Ln 2 = 0.271s⁻¹

2.56s = t

Half-life for this reaction is 2.56s

b. The reaction is spontaneous at high temperatures.
c. The reaction is never spontaneous.
d. Insufficient data is provided to answer this question.
e. The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures.

Answers

Answer:

e. The reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures.

Explanation:

The reaction 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)  is an exothermic reaction. Let us recall that in an exothermic reaction, heat and light are given out and ΔH is negative (less than zero).

In an exothermic reaction increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium position towards the left and more reactants are produced. However, decrease in temperature shifts the equilibrium position towards the right and more products are obtained.

Also, since the reaction is exothermic, then given that; ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, ΔH is negative for an exothermic reaction and ΔG must be negative for a reaction to be spontaneous. Hence, at low temperature, the value of ΔH - TΔS remains negative (less than zero) hence the reaction is spontaneous.

Hence, Being an exothermic reaction, the process is spontaneous at low temperatures.

If, as a pioneer, you wished to warm your room by taking an object heated on top of a pot-bellied stove to it, which of the following 15-pound objects, each heated to 100 degree C, would be the best choice? The specific heat capacity (in J/g- degree C) for each substance is given in parentheses. Iron (0.450), copper (0.387), granite (0.79), gold (0.129), water (4.184).
a. iron
b. copper
c. granite
d. gold
e. H2O

Answers

Answer:

e. H₂O

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the substance in 1 unit. If you have to warm your room, you have to choose the substance with the highest specific heat capacity value. This substance will retain the highest amount of heat. From the options, the highest value is 4.184 J/g°C (water, H₂O). Thus, 1 gram of water will retain 4.184 J when the temperature is raised to 1°C. That is a higher amount of heat in comparison with, for example, granite, which is able to retain 0.79 J per gram when the temperature is raised to 1°C.

However, you have to consider that the boiling point of water is 100°C, so the temperature at which you have to warm the room is the temperature at which water will be passing to the gas state.

Consider the following equilibrium: 2SO^2(g) + O2(9) = 2 SO3^(g)
1. What is equal at equilibrium?
2. What would happen to the forward rate if some 0were removed from this equilibrium?
3. Explain why, in terms of collision theory.
4. Would the reaction still be at equilibrium at this point?​

Answers

Answer:

At equilibrium, the forward and backward reaction rates are equal.

The forward reaction rate would decrease if [tex]\rm O_2[/tex] is removed from the mixture. The reason is that collisions between [tex]\rm SO_2[/tex] molecules and [tex]\rm O_2\![/tex] molecules would become less frequent.

The reaction would not be at equilibrium for a while after [tex]\rm O_2[/tex] was taken out of the mixture.

Explanation:

Equilibrium

Neither the forward reaction nor the backward reaction would stop when this reversible reaction is at an equilibrium. Rather, the rate of these two reactions would become equal.

Whenever the forward reaction adds one mole of [tex]\rm SO_3\, (g)[/tex] to the system, the backward reaction would have broken down the same amount of [tex]\rm SO_3\, (g)\![/tex]. So is the case for [tex]\rm SO_2\, (g)[/tex] and [tex]\rm O_2\, (g)[/tex].

Therefore, the concentration of each species would stay the same. There would be no macroscopic change to the mixture when it is at an an equilibrium.

Collision Theory

In the collision theory, an elementary reaction between two reactants particles takes place whenever two reactant particles collide with the correct orientation and a sufficient amount of energy.

Assume that [tex]\rm SO_2\, (g)[/tex] and [tex]\rm O_2\, (g)[/tex] molecules are the two particles that collide in the forward reaction. Because the collision has to be sufficiently energetic to yield [tex]\rm SO_3\, (g)[/tex], only a fraction of the reactions will be fruitful.

Assume that [tex]\rm O_2\, (g)[/tex] molecules were taken out while keeping the temperature of the mixture stays unchanged. The likelihood that a collision would be fruitful should stay mostly the same.

Because fewer [tex]\!\rm O_2\, (g)[/tex] molecules would be present in the mixture, there would be fewer collisions (fruitful or not) between [tex]\rm SO_2\, (g)[/tex] and [tex]\rm O_2\, (g)\![/tex] molecules in unit time. Even if the percentage of fruitful collisions stays the same, there would fewer fruitful collisions in unit time. It would thus appear that the forward reaction has become slower.

Equilibrium after Change

The backward reaction rate is likely going to stay the same right after [tex]\rm O_2\, (g)[/tex] was taken out of the mixture without changing the temperature or pressure.

The forward and backward reaction rates used to be the same. However, right after the change, the forward reaction would become slower while the backward reaction would proceed at the same rate. Thus, the forward reaction would become slower than the backward reaction in response to the change.

Therefore, this reaction would not be at equilibrium immediately after the change.

As more and more [tex]\rm SO_3\, (g)[/tex] gets converted to [tex]\rm SO_2\, (g)[/tex] and [tex]\rm O_2\, (g)[/tex], the backward reaction would slow down while the forward reaction would pick up speed. The mixture would once again achieve equilibrium when the two reaction rates become equal again.
