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

Chemistry

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.

A cylinder with a moveable piston contains 0.552 mol of gas and has a volume of 259 mL . Part A What will its volume be if an ad
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The new volume will be 367mL

Explanation:

Using PV = nRT

V1 = 259mL = 0.000259L

n1 = 0.552moles

At constant temperature and pressure, the value is

P * 0.000259 = 0.552 * RT ------equation 1

= 0.552 / 0.000259

= 2131.274

V2 = ?

n2 = 0.552 + 0.232

n2 = 0.784mole

Using ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P * V2 = 0.784 * RT ---------- equation 2

Combining equations 1 and 2 we have;

V2 = 0.784 / 2131.274

V2 = 0.000367L

V2 = 367mL

Separate this redox reaction into its component half-reactions. 3o2 4co
swat32
The equation is:
3 O₂ + 4 Co → 2 Co₂O₃
Oxidation half reaction:
Co → Co³⁺ + 3 e
Reduction half reaction:
O₂ + 4 e → 2 O²⁻
To balance the equation number of electrons lost must be equal to number or electrons gained so we must multiply oxidation half time 4 and reduction half times 3

The green areas on the diagram show the world's rainforests. What can you conclude about the location of rainforests?
Ber [7]

Answer:

Option A

They are located near the equator

Explanation:

From the diagram, we can observe that all the rain forest zones occur near the equator.

This is because on an annual basis, the equator receives the highest concentration of solar radiation in the whole Earth. This implies that the rate of evaporation of water from the water bodies present  is high, and consequently, the amount of rainfall is high also. This abundant sunshine and high rainfall  leads to the growth of the tropical rain forests at those regions

8.) If 396 g of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are produced, what mass of Oxygen
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

480 g of oxygen.

Explanation:

C3H8 + 5O2 --->  3CO2 + 4H2O

Using the molar masses:

3*12 + 6*16 g of CO2 were formed from 10*16 g O2

132g  g CO2 from 160 g O2

1g CO2 from (160/132) g O2

396 g from (160/132) * 396

= 480 g of oxygen.
