Answer:
a. A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.
Explanation:
The change in free energy (ΔG) that is, the <u>energy available to do work</u>, of a system for a constant-temperature process is:

-
When ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
- When ΔG > 0 the reaction is nonspontaneous. The reaction is
spontaneous in the opposite direction.
- When ΔG = 0 the system is at equilibrium.
If <u>both ΔH and ΔS are positive</u>, then ΔG will be negative only when the TΔS term is greater in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is large.
Answer:
PH= 6.767 (answer is the A option)
Explanation:
first we need to correct the value in Kw at this temperature is 2.92*10^-14
so, in this case we have that:
Kw=2.92*10^-14 M²
[ H3O^+] [ H3O^+]
![[H_{3}O^{+} ] [OH^{-} ] = Kw = 2.92*10^{-14} M^{2} \\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%20%20%5D%20%5BOH%5E%7B-%7D%20%20%5D%20%3D%20Kw%20%3D%202.92%2A10%5E%7B-14%7D%20M%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%20%5C%5C%5C%5C)
at 40ºC
![[H_{3}O^{+} ] = [OH^{-} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%20%20%5D%20%3D%20%5BOH%5E%7B-%7D%20%20%5D)
![[H_{3}O^{+} ]^{2} = 2.92*10^{-14} M^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%20%20%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%202.92%2A10%5E%7B-14%7D%20M%5E%7B2%7D)
![[H_{3}O^{+} ] = (2.92*10^{-14})^{1/2} = 1.71*10^{-7} M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%20%20%5D%20%3D%20%282.92%2A10%5E%7B-14%7D%29%5E%7B1%2F2%7D%20%3D%201.71%2A10%5E%7B-7%7D%20M)
![PH= -log10[H_{3}O^{+} ] = -log10(1.71*10^{-7} ) = 6.767](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=PH%3D%20-log10%5BH_%7B3%7DO%5E%7B%2B%7D%20%20%5D%20%3D%20-log10%281.71%2A10%5E%7B-7%7D%20%29%20%3D%206.767)
Answer:
In a semiconductor, the bonding molecular orbitals that contain electrons are referred to as the valence band, while the antibonding orbitals that are completely empty are referred to as the conduction band.
The conduction band occupies a higher energy level than the valence band. The band gap is what separates the two orbitals.
