Answer:
condensing water
Explanation:
Entropy refers to the level of disorderliness in a system. The entropy of liquids is greater than that of solids. The entropy of gases is greater than that of liquids.
A process of physical change involving a change of state from solid to liquid or liquid to gas is accompanied by increase in entropy.
However, a change of state involving a change from liquid to solid or gas to liquid is accompanied by decrease in entropy.
Hence, steam condensing to water leads to decrease and not increase in entropy of the system.
Balanced chemical reaction: 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.
Potassium is metal from first group of Periodic table of elements, it has always oxidation number in compound +1.
Chlorine in the reactant state has oxidation number +5 (+1 + x + 3 · (-2) = 0) and it is reduced to -1 (+1 + x = 0) in the product state.
Oxygen in the reactant state has oxidation number -2 (+1 + 5 + 3 · x = 0) and it is oxidized to 0 (in molecule of oxygen) in the product state.
Answer:
mol·L⁻¹·s⁻¹
Explanation:
In the case of a <em>zero-order reaction</em>, the reaction rate does not change with the decrease or increase in the concentrations of the reactants:
And because the rate must have units of mol·L⁻¹·s⁻¹, then the rate constant <em>k</em> must also have units of mol·L⁻¹·s⁻¹.
Answer:
- Total Pressure = 1.019 atm
Explanation:
To solve this problem we use PV=nRT for both gases in their containers, in order to <u>calculate the moles of each one</u>:
645 Torr ⇒ 645 /760 = 0.85 atm
25°C ⇒ 25 + 273.16 = 298.16 K
0.85 atm * 1.40 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ *298.16 K
n = 0.0487 mol O₂
1.13 atm * 0.751 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ *298.16 K
n = 0.0347 mol N₂
Now we can <u>calculate the partial pressure for each gas in the new container</u>, because the number of moles did not change:
P(O₂) * 2.00 L = 0.0487 mol O₂ * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ *298.16 K
P(O₂) = 0.595 atm
P(N₂) * 2.00 L = 0.0347 mol N₂ * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ *298.16 K
P(N₂) = 0.424 atm
Finally we add the partial pressures of all gases to <u>calculate the total pressure</u>:
- Pt = 0.595 atm+ 0.424 atm = 1.019 atm
The decay product represented by X : Thorium (Th) : ²³⁴₉₀Th
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Decay reaction
²³⁸₉₂U ⇒ ⁴₂He + X
Required
The decay product
Solution
Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles ₀γ⁰
- positron particles ₁e⁰
- neutron ₀n¹
In a decay reaction, <em>the sum of the mass number and atomic number of the elements in the reactants and products must be the same</em>
So the mass number of the element X = 238 - 4 = 234
Atomic number of the element X = 92 - 2 = 90
If we look at the periodic system, then the element with atomic number 90 is Thorium (Th)
