Answer:
For each system listed in first column of the table below, decide (if possible) whether the change described in the second column will increase the entropy S of the system, decrease S , or leave S unchanged. If you don?t have enough information to decide, check the not enough information button in the last column
Alkaline earth metals are metals of group two. They are divalent metals and they have a highly negative reduction potential hence the metals are mostly extracted by electrolysis.
They are highly reactive metals. They react with water but do so less readily than alkali earth metals.
Owing to their high reactivity, they are seldom found free in nature. They always occur in combined state with other highly reactive nonmetals.
Answer:
Coefficients
Explanation:
Chemical equations are first written as a skeleton equation, which includes how many atoms each element and compound has. Skeleton equations are not 'balanced' because the number of atoms of each element on the left side (reactants) is not equal to the right side (products).
To balance a chemical equation, you can write coefficients in front of single elements and compounds. The coefficient multiplies with each single element and with each element in the compound.
For example, in this skeleton equation:
H₂ + Cl₂ => HCl
Reactants: Products:
2 hydrogen 1 hydrogen
2 chlorine 1 chlorine
Write the coefficient 2 in the products.
H₂ + Cl₂ => 2HCl
Now both reactant and product sides have 2 chlorine and 2 hydrogen, so the equation is balanced.
For an aqueous solution of MgBr2, a freezing point depression occurs due to the rules of colligative properties. Since MgBr2 is an ionic compound, it acts a strong electrolyte; thus, dissociating completely in an aqueous solution. For the equation:
ΔTf<span> = (K</span>f)(<span>m)(i)
</span>where:
ΔTf = change in freezing point = (Ti - Tf)
Ti = freezing point of pure water = 0 celsius
Tf = freezing point of water with solute = ?
Kf = freezing point depression constant = 1.86 celsius-kg/mole (for water)
m = molality of solution (mol solute/kg solvent) = ?
i = ions in solution = 3
Computing for molality:
Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol
m = 10.5g MgBr2 / 184.113/ 0.2 kg water = 0.285 mol/kg
For the problem,
ΔTf = (Kf)(m)(i) = 1.86(0.285)(3) = 1.59 = Ti - Tf = 0 - Tf
Tf = -1.59 celsius
they would be pushing together
