Answer:

hypothesis on the ultimate fate of the universe, which suggests the universe would evolve to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and would therefore be unable to sustain processes that increase entropy.

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Are you literally posting your entire you chemistry homework on this site, one question at a time? Anyways, the heat death refers to the second law of thermodynamics and entropy. Heat is constantly flowing from warmer to cooler objects and never the other way around. This heat flow increases entropy, which is constantly increasing. The universe will eventually disperse all of its heat energy away to continuously increase entropy and reach a limit as the temperature reaches 0 K at which point all molecular motion will cease and so will the life of the universe.

What does a mole of iron weigh

r-ruslan [8.4K]

As the atomic mass of iron is 55.847u

We say that it is the mass of one mole of iron.

By formula it can be find by

No.of mole=mass in g/molar mass

Mass in gram = no.of mole x molar mass

No.of mole =1

Molar mass = 55.847g

Mass in gram = 1x55.847

= 55.847g of Fe

If more solute can be dissolved in a solvent, the solution is

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

the answer is unsaturated

Explanation:

A saturated solution contains more solute per volume of solvent than an unsaturated solution. The solute has dissolved until no more can, leaving undissolved matter in the solution. ... In a supersaturated solution, there is more dissolved solute than in a saturated solution.

How many of the following statements about silver acetate, AgCH3COO, are true? i) More AgCH3CoO(S) will dissolve if the pH of th

shutvik [7]

Answer:

All three statements are true

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of silver acetate:

$AgCH_{3}COO\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+CH_{3}COO^{-}$

If pH is increased then concentration of $H^{+}$ increases in solution resulting removal of $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ by forming $CH_{3}COOH$ . Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards right. So more $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
If $AgNO_{3}$ is added then concentration of $Ag^{+}$ increases in solution resulting shifting of equilibrium towards left in accordance with Le-chatelier principle. So less $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
Insoluble precipitate of AgOH is formed by adding NaOH in solution resulting removal of $Ag^{+}$ . So, more $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
