  We expect an atom of Krypton (Kr) to have a larger atomic radius than an atom of Sulfur (S).

When a solid is heated to very high temperatures, it emits electromagnetic radiation known as ________________.  An example of such radiation is the burner of an electric stove top turning bright red.    

Label this question as Q-Hess on your paper. (10 min.) For this problem, you must show all your work on paper exactly as was demonstrated in the PPT lecture videos and lecture.  You must label each step of your work clearly, use correct sig figs, and circle your final answer  on your paper.  You must state your final answer for the heat of reaction (do not need to write equation) here on the exam with units.  Failure to follow these directions will result in significant to total point loss.  You must upload your work to the Canvas dropbox as directed in the exam directions. B2H6(g) + 6 Cl2(g)
