Explain why the standard enthalpy of formation () for Cl2 (g) is zero, but its standard entropy is larger than zero.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Galina-37 [17]1 year ago
7 0

The standard enthalpy of formation for chlorine is zero but the standard entropy is larger than 0 because it is the elemental state of chlorine.

The standard enthalpy of formation for chlorine is zero because cl2 is the elemental state of chlorine and it does not require any energy for the formation of the standard state of chlorine.

The entropy of any system cannot be negative. It can only be positive or zero.

The entropy of a system will become zero only at a absolute zero temperature.

That's why the entropy of chlorine in elemental state is more than zero because absolutely zero temperature can't be obtained.

How many atoms are in 13.97 liters of water vapor at STP
Arisa [49]
<span>Let's </span>assume that water vapor has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>

</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa (standard pressure)
V = 13.97 L = 13.97 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
n = ?
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 0 °C = 273 K (standard temperature)
<span>
By substitution,
</span>101325 Pa x 13.97x 10</span>⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 273 K<span>
                                          n = 0.624 mol
<span>
Hence, the moles of water vapor at STP is 0.624 mol.

According to the </span></span>Avogadro's constant, 1 mole of substance has 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
<span>
Hence, number of atoms in water vapor = 0.624 mol x </span>6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
<span>                                                                = 3.758 x 10</span>²³<span>
