Second law of thermodynamics states entropy of the universe is always increasing. entropy always increases in a spontaneous process .
option B) second law of thermodynamics
for example if we keep a hot cup of coffee the heat is lost to surrounding and entropy( randomness increases) since it is a natural process entropy of universe increases.
A compound is a combination of a different elements to form a new substance. The new substance may well have different properties to that of the composing elements. When a compound is made of 50% sulphur and 50% oxygen, it's empirical formula is SO (sulphur oxide). In other words, there is one sulphur atom and one oxygen atom - each consists of 50% of the overall molecule.
Answer & Explanation:
(a)

reducing agent = Fe²⁺
Oxidizing agent = NO₃⁻
oxidation
Fe²⁺ ⇒ Fe(OH)₃
reduction
NO₃⁻ ⇒ N₂
Oxidation Half Reaction
(<em>redox reactions are balanced by adding appropriate H⁺ and H₂O atoms)</em>
Fe²⁺ ⇒ Fe(OH)₃
Balance O atoms
Fe²⁺ + 3H₂O ⇒ Fe(OH)₃
Balance H atoms
Fe² + 3H₂0 ⇒ Fe(OH)₃ + 3H⁺
balance Charge
Fe² + 3H₂0 ⇒ Fe(OH)₃ + 3H⁺ + e⁻..............(1)
reduction Half Reaction
NO₃⁻ ⇒ N₂
Balance N atoms
2NO₃⁻ ⇒N₂
Balance O atoms by adding appropriate H₂O
2NO₃⁻ ⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O
Balance H atoms
2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ ⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O
Balance Charge
2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ + 10e⁻⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O.................(2)
Combine Equation (1) and (2)
(1) × 10: 10Fe² + 30H₂0 ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 30H⁺ + 10e⁻
(2) × 1: 2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ + 10e⁻⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O
(1) + (2): 10Fe² + <u><em>30H₂0</em></u> + 2NO₃⁻ + <u><em>12H⁺</em></u> + <u><em>10e⁻</em></u> ⇒10Fe(OH)₃ + <u><em>30H⁺</em></u><u><em> </em></u>+ <em><u>10e⁻</u></em> +
N₂ + <u><em>6H₂O</em></u>
10Fe² + 24H₂0 + 2NO₃⁻ ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 18H⁺ + N₂
this is the balanced reaction
REDUCTION POTENTIAL
10Fe²⁺(aq) + 10e⁻ ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃(aq) E°ox = 10(-0.44) = -4.4V
2NO₃⁻(aq) - 2e⁻ ⇌ N₂(g) + 18H⁺ E°red = 2(+0.80) = +1.6
10Fe² + 24H₂0 + 2NO₃⁻ ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 18H⁺ + N₂ E°cell = -2.8V
E°cell = E°red + E°ox
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option E.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.
This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.
This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of aluminium and water follows:

The coefficient of Aluminium is 2.
Hence, the correct answer is Option E.
