A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.
The statement which is true is
metals lose electrons to become cations
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- metals tends to loss electrons to attain noble gas electrons configuration.
- When metal loses electrons they form a positive charged ions.
- The positively charged ion is known as cations.
- for example sodium metal (Na) loses 1 electron to form a cation with a charge of positive 1 ( Na^+)
If the crucible wasn't covered with a lid the reactants may have produced a gas that was released into the surroundings, or mass may have been lost in the form of water vapour.
Answer:
ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol
Explanation:
- CH4(g) + 4Cl2(g) → CCl4(g) + 4HCl(g)
⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4ΔH°HCl(g) + ΔH°CCl4(g) - 4ΔH°Cl2(g) - ΔH°CH4(g)
∴ ΔH°Cl2(g) = 0 KJ/mol.....pure element in its reference state
∴ ΔH°CCl4(g) = - 138.7 KJ/mol
∴ ΔH°HCl(g) = - 92.3 KJ/mol
∴ ΔH°CH4(g) = - 74.8 KJ/mol
⇒ ΔH°rxn = 4(- 92.3 KJ/mol) + (- 138.7 KJ/mol) - 4(0 KJ/mol) - (- 74.8 KJ/mol)
⇒ ΔH°rxn = - 369.2 KJ/mol - 138.7 KJ/mol - 0 KJ/mol + 74.8 KJ/mol
⇒ ΔH°rxn = - 433.1 KJ/mol
