Which of the following reactions is spontaneous?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer is: lumps os sugar dissolving in water.
Sugar has very good solubility in water and it dissolves readily, which is example of a physical change.
Gibbs free energy (G) determines if reaction will proceed spontaneously, if ΔG is negative, reaction is spontaneous (ΔG = ΔH - T·ΔS).
In other examples, reactions are spontaneous in reverse way, for example spontaneous is forming sodium chlorine from sodium metal and chlorine gas, but not sodium chloride forming sodium metal and chlorine gas, because a lot of energy is needed for that reaction.

For the Bradford assay, the instructor will make a Bradford reagent dye by mixing 50 ml of 95% v/v ethanol with 100 mg of Coomas

Flauer [41]

Answer:

4.25% is the final concentration of phosphoric acid.

Explanation:

Initial concentration of phosphoric acid = $C_1=85\%=0.85$

Initial volume of phosphoric acid = $V_1=50 mL$

Final concentration of phosphoric acid = $C_2=?$

Final volume of phosphoric acid = $V_2=1 L=1000 mL$

( 1L = 1000 mL)

$C_1V_1=C_2V_2$

$C_2=\frac{C_1times V_1}{V_2}$

$=\frac{0.85\times 50 mL}{1000 mL}=0.0425=4.25%$

4.25% is the final concentration of phosphoric acid.

The vapor pressure of pure pentane and pure hexane are 425 torr and 151 torr respectively. equal moles of pentane and hexane are

nadezda [96]

The mole fraction of pentane in the vapor is 0.291

Vapour pressure rises with temperature and is a measurement of a substance's propensity to transform into a gaseous or vapour state. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the pressure exerted by its surroundings equals the vapour pressure present at the liquid's surface.

The number of moles of a particular component in the solution divided by the overall number of moles in the sample solution is known as the mole fraction.

Using the formula for vapour pressure,

vapour pressure = $P^{}$ ° $_{hex}$ × $X_{hex}$ + $P^{}$ ° $_{pen}$ × $X_{pen}$
