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]11 months 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.

Rank the following acids in order of increasing acid strength. Key: Weakening of hydrogen bond and stability of resulting anion.
raketka [301]

Explanation:

The given compounds are oxyacids and in these compounds more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be its acidic strength.

This is because more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be the polarity of OH bond. As a result, the compound can readily lose H^{+} ion.

Also, more is the electronegativity of central atom more will be the stability of conjugate base formed.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged in increasing acid strength as follows.

       HOI < HOBr_{2} < HOCl_{3} < HOF

Sophie [7]

Answer:

As you used two diferent instruments, one is more sensitive than the other.

Explanation:

The sensitivity of an instrument is the minimum amount of magnitude that can be  differentiate a measurement system.

In method A, you got 27 cm, so if in method B, you got 27.00, method B is more sensitive. It's like saying that one system measures more than the other

A solution
timurjin [86]
The answer to your question is  C.  A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances, so it couldn't have been A and D. Since a solution can't have its substances separated by a chemical means because they are chemically bonded, thus they are able to be separated by physical means
