Chapter 22, Problem 22.4E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of surface tension of liquid mercury, 435.5dyn/cm, in units of N/m is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Surface tension is the tension of a liquid surface that causes due to the attraction of liquid particles in the liquid surface by the liquid particle present in the bulk of the liquid. The surface tension tries to attain minimum surface area. The formula of surface tension is given by the expression shown below.

Given the information below, calculate the lattice enthalpy for MX(s), where M is a group 1 metal, and X is a group 17 element (standard state: X2(g)). ΔfH°(MX) = -462 kJ mol−1 ΔsubH°(M) = 127 kJ mol−1 D(X2) = 442 kJ mol−1 IE1(M) = 480 kJ mol−1 Eeg1(X) = -142 kJ mol−1 Express your answer to four significant figures. ΔlattH°(MX) = Answer kJ mol−1
Given that a 10.0g sample of ice at 0.0 degrees celsius melts and then the resultant water proceeds to warm to 20.0 degrees celsius, there are two separate processes (dealing with the transfer of heat) that describe the occurence. What are those two processes? (Hint one involves the specific heat of water).    Determine the delta H of the following reactions: CH4 (g) +2O2(g) → CO2 (g) +2H2O(l) CH4 (g) +2O2(g) → CO2 (g) +2H2O(g)   What is the numerical difference between these two values? What is the only physical difference between the two reactions? What does the numerical difference represent, in terms of the physical difference between the two reactions?   A 4.00g sample of rocket fuel was combusted in a bomb calorimeter according to the following reaction: 2CH6N2(l)+ 5O2(g) →  2N2(g) +2CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)   The temperature of the surrounding calorimeter increased from 25.00C to 39.50 C and the heat capacity of the calorimeter was previously determined to be 7.794KJ/c.
