1. this energy diagram is for the thermal decomposition of solid mercury (ii) oxide (also known as mercuric oxide) into liquid mercury and oxygen gas. • write a balanced equation for the reaction. • explain what feature is shown by the arrow labeled (a). • using chemical symbols and dashed lines (this can be done with type), draw what the activated complex or transition state might look like. • is this reaction exothermic or endothermic? explain.

Use the table to identify the phase and phase changes of the elements under the given conditions. write the name of the substance, phase, or phase change. when the temperature in a room increases from 25°c to 33°c, changes from a solid to a liquid. in a lab, methane and nitrogen are cooled from -170°c to -200°c. the methane freezes and the nitrogen . when gold is heated to 2,856°c it changes from a liquid to a .

Salicylic acid is a very important acid. it is used to synthesize the aspirin by treating with acetic anhydride. a 0.2015-g sample of salicylic acid was dissolved in a 100.00-ml volumetric flask, and the solution was diluted to the mark. a 10-ml aliquot of this solution was titrated with standard naoh (0.01130 + 0.2% n) to a phenolphthalein faint pink color end point at 19.81 ml. (a) (calculate the normality of the salicylic acid solution used in the titration. (b) assuming the salicylic acid is pure, what is the equivalent weight of the salicylic acid? practice problems for the final exam (continued) (c) (calculate the inherent error in the determination of the equivalent weight you calculated in part (b). use the following absolute errors in the equipment /glassware when calculating the inherent error. 5.00-ml pipet: + 0.02 ml 100-ml volumetric flask: + 0.08 ml analytical balance: + 0.2 mg 25-ml buret: + 0.03 ml

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and explain your predictions. how does temperature affect the spontaneity of this process?
