The sign of the entropy change, ΔS, for the following processes include:

I2 (s) + ½ Cl2 (g) ← → ICl (g) - positive

3 Ag (s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) → 3AgNO3 (aq) + NO (g) + 2 H2O (l) - positive

Cl2 (g) → Cl2 (l) - negative

C5H12 (g) + 8 O2 (g) → 5 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) - negative

What is Entropy?

This is referred to the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a system and is denoted as S.

Entropy change is usually positive when solid or liquid reactant is converted into gas product and vice versa.

Answer:

Option d: C₈H₉NO₂ = acetaminophen, analgesic

Explanation:

% composition of compound is:

63.57 g of C

6 g of H

9.267 g of N

21.17 g of O

First of all we divide each by the molar mass of the element

63.57 g / 12 gmol = 5.29 mol of C

6 g of H / 1 g/mol = 6 mol H

9.267 g of N / 14 g/mol = 0.662 mol of N

21.17 g of O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 mol of O

We divide each by the lowest value, in this case 0.662

5.29 / 0.662 = 8

6 / 0.662 = 9

0.662 / 0.662 = 1

1.32 / 0.662 = 2

Molecular formula of the compound is C₈H₉NO₂

a vehicle accelerates with 0.4 m/s. calculate tue time taken by the vehicle to increase its speed from 20m/s to 40m/s.

Grace [21]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf t = 50 \ seconds}$

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given data:</u></h3>

Acceleration = a = 0.4 m/s²

Initial Speed = $V_i$ = 20 m/s

Final Speed = $V_f$ = 40 m/s

<h3><u>Required:</u></h3>

Time = t = ?

<h3><u>Formula:</u></h3>

$\displaystyle a =\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}$

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Rearranging formula for t

$\displaystyle t =\frac{V_f-V_i}{a} \\\\t = \frac{40-20}{0.4} \\\\t = \frac{20}{0.4} \\\\\boxed{t = 50 \ seconds}\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Which is a true statement?

labwork [276]

Answer: B) Particles can be filtered from a suspension.

Explanation: Colloids are solutions with particle size intermediate between true solutions and suspensions. They exhibit tyndall effect that is scattering of light.

Suspensions have large sized particles which settle when left undisturbed for sometime and thus can be filtered off easily.

The particle size in colloids is less and hence they do not settle under the effect of gravity.

A solution can be homogeneous in which the composition is uniform or heterogeneous in which is the composition is not uniform.

What is the molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon?

Lelu [443]

Answer:
<span>Molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon is Tetrahedral.

Explanation:
</span> In saturated hydrocarbons (-CH₂-) the central atom (carbon) is bonded to either three or two hydrogen atoms and one or two carbon atoms. So, the central atom is having four electron pairs and all pairs are bonding pairs and lacks any lone pair of electron. According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory the central atom with four bonding pair electrons and zero lone pair electrons will attain a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109°.
