Choose the atom or ion that is larger.

Select one:
a. S
b. S-2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In general, anions are larger than the corresponding neutral atom, since adding electrons increases the number of electron-electron repulsion interactions that take place. Cations are smaller than the corresponding neutral atoms, since the valence electrons, which are furthest away from the nucleus, are lost.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The ion S⁻² (sulfide ion) is larger than the atom S (sulfur atom).

b. S⁻²

Atoms are composed of a nucleus at the center, containing protons and neutrons, and a cloud of electrons surrounding the nucleus. The size of an atom is determined mainly by the arrangement and energy levels of its electrons.

When an atom gains electrons to become an ion, it undergoes a process called electron gain or electron attachment. In this case, sulfur (S) has six valence electrons (electron configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴). It tends to gain two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the nearest noble gas, argon (Ar: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶). By gaining two electrons, sulfur forms the sulfide ion (S⁻²), which has an electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶.

When an atom gains electrons to become an ion, it forms a negatively charged ion, and this is the case for S⁻². The extra electrons in the ion's electron cloud cause repulsion, leading to an increase in the ion's size compared to the neutral atom. In other words, the addition of two extra electrons in the S⁻² ion increases its electron cloud's size, making it larger than the S atom.

Imagine a campfire on a cold day. At first, the temperature of each log is as cold as the air around it. A few hours after the fire has burned out, the temperature of the ashes will also be cold. But in between, when the fire is burning, the temperature of the logs and surrounding air is very hot. What is the source of this thermal energy? For the answer, begin by identifying the reactants and products for the overall chemical reaction of burning wood. Wood is mostly carbohydrates, the bulk of which is cellulose. Cellulose is made up of hundreds to thousands of glucose groups connectected by oxygen molecules. The chemical formula for cellulose is (C6H12O6)n, where n is the number of glucose groups. For more manageable models, carbohydrates will be modelled as glucose with a chemical formula of C6H12O6.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be transformed from one form to another.

The thermal energy observed in the hot air while the fire rages is obtained from the chemical energy stored in carbohydrates(cellulose) that compose the wood material. As the wood is burnt, this chemical energy stored in chemical bonds of the wood material is converted to heat. The chemical reaction in the combustion of wood can be simply modeled as the combustion of n moles of glucose.

nC6H12O6(s) + 6nO2(g) ===> 6nCO2(g) + 6nH2O(g)

Note that n may even be thousands of glucose molecules that combine to form cellulose present in wood.

Eutrophication causes loss of Biodiversity”. Substantiate the statement

Answers

Eutrophication causes loss of biodiversity because many species need light to survive. It affects light penetration in the water body.

What is eutrophication?

Eutrophication is a phenomenon where an aquatic environment (e.g., a lake) is enriched with minerals and nutrients.

The most common nutrients associated with eutrophication are nitrogen and phosphorus.

Eutrophication can severely affect light penetration in the water body, thereby affecting the survival of producer organisms (plants) and causing a loss of biodiversity across all trophic levels.

Answers

Answer:

Endothermic

Explanation:

Notice that heat is written as part of the reactants. Therefore, heat is necessary for the reaction to proceed.

In other words, the reaction is endothermic.

Conversely, if the heat is written as part of the products, heat is released as the reaction proceeds and hence the reaction is exothermic.

6. 0.465 mole sample of gas exerts 4.43 atm of pressure in a 2.25 L container. What is the temperature of the gas in the container?

Answers

Answer:

T = 262K

Explanation:

n = 0.465

P = 4.43 atm

V = 2.25 L

T = ?

Follow this equation below

PV = nRT

4.43 x 2.25 = 0.465 x 0.08206 x T

9.97 = 0.038 x T

(Dividing both sides by 0.038 to get rid of it)

T = 262K or you could say 262.4K

How many copper atoms are in a pure copper statue with a mass of 198 kg?

Answers

Answer:

No.of copper atoms= no.of moles x No x atomicity

(No - avagardro's number )

= wt / atomic mass x No x 1

= 198 x 10 ^3 g / 63.5 x No

= 3.118 x 10^3 x 6.02 x 10^23

= 18.77 x 10^26 atoms.

So in the periodic table, the atomic mass of one copper is 64.546.

One mole is 6.022x10^23 atoms.

You can use both of these to find the number of atoms.

The formula to find the amount of moles of something is "moles = grams / atomic mass"

103 kg --> 103,000 g.

103,000 divided by 63.546 = around 1620.873 moles.

All you need to do is multiply 1620.873 to 6.022x10^23 and you get the number of atoms in copper!
