Answer:
Copper is a metal made up of copper atoms closely packed together. As a result, the electrons can move freely through the metal. For this reason, they are known as free electrons. They are also known as conduction electrons because they help copper be a good conductor of heat and electricity.
Explanation:
Answer:
A reaction is non-spontaneous at any temperature when the Gibbs free energy > 0.
Explanation:
There is a state function, that determines if a reaction is sponaneous or non spontaneous:
ΔG = Gibbs free energy
A reaction is non spontaneous when it does require energy to produce that reaction. It will be spontaneous, when the reaction does not require energy to be occured.
The formula is: ΔG = ΔH - T.ΔS
ΔH → Enthalpy → Energy gained or realeased as heat.
ΔH < 0 → <em>Exothermic reaction. Spontaneity is favored
</em>
T → Temperature
ΔS → Entropy → Degree of disorder of a system.
When the system has a considered disorder ΔS > 0, disorder increases.
When the system is more ordered, ΔS < 0, disorder decreases.
The reaction will be non spontaneous if, the enthalpy is positive (endothermic reaction) and the ΔS < 0 (disorder decreases). It will not occur if we do not give energy.
ΔG < 0 → Spontaneous reaction
ΔG > 0 → Non spontaneous reaction
ΔG = 0 → System in equilibrium
Answer:
After 2.0 minutes the concentration of N2O is 0.3325 M
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
rate = k[N2O]
initial concentration of N2O of 0.50 M
k = 3.4 * 10^-3/s
Step 2: The balanced equation
2N2O(g) → 2 N2(g) + O2(g)
Step 3: Calculate the concentration of N2O after 2.0 minutes
We use the rate law to derive a time dependent equation.
-d[N2O]/dt = k[N2O]
ln[N2O] = -kt + ln[N2O]i
⇒ with k = 3.4 *10^-3 /s
⇒ with t = 2.0 minutes = 120s
⇒ with [N2O]i = initial conc of N2O = 0.50 M
ln[N2O] = -(3.4*10^-3/s)*(120s) + ln(0.5)
ln[N2O] = -1.101
e^(ln[N2O]) = e^(-1.1011)
[N2O} = 0.3325 M
After 2.0 minutes the concentration of N2O is 0.3325 M
