- Data are given in Appendix 1 for white phosphorus, P4(s). P4(g) has the following thermodynamic values: Hf=58.9kJ/mol , S=280.0J/kmol . What is the temperature at which white phosphorus sublimes at 1 atm pressure?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardWhich molecule, HF, HCl, HBr, or HI, has the strongest chemical bond?arrow_forward

- The reaction 2 Ti (s) + 3 I2 (g) –→2 Til3 (s) having AH = -839 kJ/mol is: (a) endothermic and, thus, absorbs heat from the surroundings. (b) endothermic and, thus, releases heat to the surroundings. (c) exothermic and, thus, absorbs heat from the surroundings. (d) exothermic and, thus, releases heat to the surroundings.arrow_forwardWhen a 45.0 g sample of an alloy at 100.0 °C is dropped into 55.0 g of water at 25.0 °C, the final temperature is 30.4 °C.

A novel process for obtaining magnesium from sea water involves several reactions. Write a balanced chemical equation for each step of the process. (a) The first step is the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate from seashells to form solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. (b) The second step is the formation of solid calcium hydroxide as the only product from the reaction of the solid calcium oxide with liquid water. (c) Solid calcium hydroxide is then added to the seawater, reacting with dissolved magnesium chloride to yield solid magnesium hydroxide and aqueous calcium chloride. (d) The solid magnesium hydroxide is added to a hydrochloric acid solution, producing dissolved magnesium chloride and liquid water. (e) Finally, the magnesium chloride is melted and electrolyzed to yield liquid magnesium metal and diatomic chlorinegas.arrow_forward
