Metals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. are extracted by electrolysis of their chlorides in molten state.

These metals are not extracted by reduction of their oxides with carbon because:

Carbon has less affinity for oxygen than these metals

Carbon is a weaker reducing agent than these metals

These metals easily form oxides with oxygen, their oxides are very stable. Affinity to the oxygen is one the greatest of all elements.

Reducing agent is element or compound who loose electrons in chemical reaction. Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium are very strong reducing agents because they easily loose one or two valence electrons.

Electrolysis is a chemical methode that uses electric currents for chemical reactions.

b) Si los ácidos nitroso y fluorhídrico están descritos como electrolitos débiles, ¿significa que en la disolución hay moléculas
viva [34]

Los electrolitos son sustancias que se disocian en agua para dar iones.

Generalmente en química, podemos clasificar sustancias como

  • Electrolitos
  • No electrolitos

Los electrolitos pueden disociarse en solución para producir iones, pero un no electrolito no puede hacer eso.

Entre los electrolitos hay dos clases;

  • Electrolitos fuertes
  • Electrolitos débiles

Los electrolitos fuertes se disocian completamente en solución, mientras que los electrolitos débiles no se disocian completamente en solución.

El hecho de que los electrolitos débiles no se disocien por completo significa que algunas moléculas de la sustancia no se disocian.

Por lo tanto, si los ácidos nitroso y fluorhídrico se describen como electrolitos débiles, esto significa que hay moléculas en la solución que no están disociadas.

"What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0"
Artyom0805 [142]

Q: What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0 °C? (Lf = 3.34 x 105 J/kg)

Answer:

-3670.33 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.

Mathematically,  change of Entropy can be expressed as,

ΔS = ΔH/T ....................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = Change of entropy, ΔH = heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = -(Lf×m).................................... Equation 2

Note: ΔH is negative because heat is lost.

Where Lf = latent heat of ice = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg, m = 3.0 kg, m = mass of water = 3.0 kg

Substitute into equation

ΔH = -(3.34×10⁵×3.0)

ΔH = - 1002000 J.

But T = 0 °C = (0+273) K = 273 K.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = -1002000/273

ΔS = -3670.33 J/K

Note: The negative value of ΔS shows that the entropy of water decreases when it is changed to ice at 0 °C
