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

1 answer:

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.

Choose a depiction of a gas sample containing equal molar amounts of xenon and argon as described by kinetic molecular theory. R

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

On the attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, it is important to remember that kinetic molecular theory help us understand how the molecules of a gas behave in terms of motion. In such a way, the relative velocity of a gas molecule has the following relationship with the gas' molar mass:

$V$ ∝ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{M} }$

That is, an inversely proportional relationship which allows us to infer that the bigger the molecule the slower it. In this manner, as argon is smaller than xenon, it will move faster.

Now, as the gases are in equal molar amounts and considering that argon moves faster, on the attached picture you will find the suitable depiction of the gas sample, since red dots (argon) have a larger tail than the blue dots (xenon).

Best regards.

If you are involved in a vehicle accident, you should not drink any alcohol up to ___ hours after the accident or you could be l

Luda [366]

Answer: 6

Explanation:

Alcohol is a psychoactive drug with a high number of side effects that can seriously affect our body. The amount and circumstances of consumption play an important role in determining the duration of intoxication. For example, consuming alcohol after a large meal is less likely to produce visible signs of intoxication than on an empty stomach.

Alcohol has a two-phase effect on the body, meaning that its effects change over time. Initially, it produces feelings of relaxation and joy, but later consumption can lead to blurred vision and coordination problems. Cell membranes are highly permeable to alcohol, so once alcohol is in the bloodstream, it can spread to almost all body tissues.

Unconsciousness can follow excessive consumption, and extreme levels of consumption can lead to alcohol poisoning and death. Death can also be caused by asphyxiation, if vomit - a frequent result of excessive drinking - blocks the windpipe and the individual is too drunk to respond. An appropriate first-aid response to an unconscious, drunk person is to place him or her in the recovery position.

When alcohol enters the bloodstream (30-90 minutes after ingestion), there is a decrease in the sugars present in the bloodstream, causing a feeling of weakness and physical exhaustion. This is because alcohol accelerates the transformation of glycogen (a substance that stores sugar in the liver) into glucose, which is then eliminated more quickly.

After the ingestion of alcohol, a series of effects or symptoms occur in the short term, depending on the dose ingested (although other individual factors are affected).

Euphoria and excitement phase

Intoxication: The nervous system is affected as the loss of the capacity to coordinate movements is caused, producing imbalance and sometimes falls. If abused, locomotor ataxia can occur, which is a paralysis characteristic of alcoholics.

Hypnotic or confused phase: Irritability, agitation, drowsiness, headache, ysarthria, ataxia, dysmetry, nausea and vomiting.
Anaesthetic phase or stupor and coma, inconsistent language.

Bulbar or death phase: Cardiovascular shock, inhibition of the respiratory center, cardio-respiratory arrest and death.

Alcohol is broken down mainly in the liver, which can metabolize about 1 drink per hour for men. Factors such as age, weight, gender, and the amount of food eaten can affect how quickly the body can process alcohol. The amount of time alcohol can be detected in blood is up to 6 hours. Then it is not recommended to drink alcohol until after 6 hours if you have been involved in an accident, since alcohol can be detected in the blood in that time range. Because of the effects alcohol has on the body and how it can affect driving, if alcohol is detected you can be legally charged with driving under its influence.

Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days. If the amount of iodine-131 in the orginial sample is 8 g, how much iodine-131 will remain

hram777 [196]

1/32

Explanation it stated with half on 8 days then that means you divide 24 and 8 so its 3 and you have to multiply ✖ ½

why can scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions

Galina-37 [17]

The forces of attraction between particles in their gaseous state seems to be nonexistential.
therefore scientist would care less. however another state after gas which is plasma has a lesser force of attraction than the gaseous state.

What is the difference between Renewable Energy and Non renewable Energy? Which one is better for the environment and why? Also

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The difference between them is that renewable energy is something that can be used practically and not run out. Non-renewable energy has a limited supply.

Explanation:

Renewable energy is better for the environment as it is not something that takes millions of years to form, as some non-renewable energy sources are.
