Answer:
D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous.
Explanation:
<em>What does Gibbs free energy (ΔG) predict?
.</em>
A. It predicts what the rate of the reaction will be. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.
B. It predicts how high the activation energy is. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.
C. It predicts if entropy will increase or decrease. NO. ΔG depends on the entropy but not the other way around.
D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous. YES. If ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous and if ΔG > 0 the reaction is not spontaneous.
In general when you heat up a liquid such as water its volume "increases" as the heat energy causes the water molecules to move leading to more space between molecules causing it to occupy a larger volume.

Answer:
The solution will turn red.
Explanation:
HC₁₄H₁₄SO₃ + H₂O ⇌ HC₁₄H₁₄SO₃⁻ +H₃O⁺
(red) (yellow)
Methyl orange is a weak acid in which the ionized and unionized forms are distinct colours and are in equilibrium with each other,
At about pH 3.4, the two the forms are present in equal amounts, and the indicator colour is orange.
If you add more acid, you are disturbing the equilibrium.
According to Le Châtelier's Principle, when you apply a stress to a system at equilibrium, it will respond in such a way as to relieve the stress.
The system will try to get rid of the added acid, so the position of equilibrium will move to the left.
More of the unionized molecules will form, so the solution will turn red.

Explanation:
When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.
Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.
The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.
