Is it possible for the entropy of both a closed system and its surroundings to decrease during the process?

Only when heat is transferred from the system to its surroundings does a closed system suffer a decrease in entropy.

Only when heat is transferred from the system to its surroundings does a closed system suffer a decrease in entropy. Every internally reversible operation in a closed system generates entropy. Entropy remains constant in an adiabatic and internally reversible process of a closed system. Isolated systems' entropy cannot diminish.

When a system is not isolated but is in contact with its surroundings, the entropy of the open system may drop, requiring a balancing rise in the entropy of the surroundings. During a process, the entropy of an isolated system constantly increases, or in the case of a reversible process, remains constant (it never decreases).

Whitney's lung capacity was measured as 3.3 l at a body temperature of 37 ∘c and a pressure of 746 mmhg . how many moles of oxyg
myrzilka [38]

the ideal gas equation is PV=nRT  
 where P=pressure  
 V=Volume  
 n=no. of moles  
 R=universal gas constant  
 T=temperature  
 The universal gas constant (R) is 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K    
 a pressure of 746 mmhg =0.98 atm= 1 atm (approx)   
 T=37 degrees Celsius =37+273=310 K (convert it to Kelvin by adding 273)    
 V=0.7 L (only getting oxygen, get 21% of 3.3L)    
 Solution:  
 (1 atm)(0.7 L)=n(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(310 K)  
 0.7 L*atm=n(25.451 L*atm/mol)  
 n=0.0275 mole   
 Answer:   
n=0.0275 mole of oxygen in the lungs.

1. Describe the motion of gas particles.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The particles in a solid are tightly packed and locked in place. ... The particles in a liquid are close together (touching) but they are able to move/slide/flow past each other. The particles in a gas are fast moving and are able to spread apart from each other.

what is the ratio of the rate of effusion of helium (atomic mass 4.00 amu) to that of oxygen gas (molecular mass 32.0 amu)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of He be R1

Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol

Let the rate of O2 be R2

Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol

Recall:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/4)

R1/R2 = √8

R1/R2 = 3

The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1

Toluene (C6H5CH3 ), an organic compound often used as a solvent in paints, is mixed with a similar organic compound, benzene (C6
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

 Weight of solute = 75.8 g,   Molecular weight of solute (toulene) = 92.13 g/mol,    volume = 200 ml

  • Therefore, molarity of toulene is calculated as follows.

      Molarity = \frac{\text{weight of solute}}{\text{molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{volume of solution in ml}}

                    = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{200 ml}

                    = 4.11 M

Hence, molarity of toulene is 4.11 M.

  • As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent.

So, we will calculate the molality of toulene as follows.

   Molality = \frac{\text{given weight of solute}}{\text{given molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{weight of solvent in grams}}

             = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{95.6 g}

             = 8.6 m

Hence, molality of given toulene solution is 8.6 m.

  • Now, calculate the number of moles of toulene as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol}

                             = 0.8227 mol

Now, no. of moles of benzene will be as follows.

     No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{95.6 g}{78.11 g/mol}

                             = 1.2239 mol

Hence, the mole fraction of toulene is as follows.

         Mole fraction = \frac{\text{moles of toulene}}{\text{total moles}}

                             = \frac{0.8227 mol}{(0.8227 + 1.2239) mol}

                             = 0.402

Hence, mole fraction of toulene is 0.402.

  • As density of given solution is 0.857 g/cm^{3} so, we will calculate the mass of solution as follows.

         Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

     0.857 g/cm^{3} = \frac{mass}{200 ml}      (As 1 cm^{3} = 1 g)

                      mass = 171.4 g

Therefore, calculate the mass percent of toulene as follows.

      Mass % = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}} \times 100

                   = \frac{75.8 g}{171.4 g} \times 100

                   = 44.22%

Therefore, mass percent of toulene is 44.22%.
