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.

At a pressure of 650 kpa 2.2L of hydrogen is used to fill a balloon to a final pressure of 115 kpa. What's the balloons volume?

Alborosie

Answer:

V₂ = 12.43 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure = 650 KPa

Initial volume = 2.2 L

Final pressure = 115 KPa

Final volume = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyles law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

650 KPa ×2.2 L = 115 KPa × V₂

V₂ = 1430 KPa. L/ 115 KPa

V₂ = 12.43 L

1. The first four-legged animals to reach land were classified as

andrezito [222]

Explanation:

The first four-legged animals to reach land were classified as tetrapods the term tetra means four. So tetrapods refer to animals with four limbs.
Pangaea also known as Pangea was a supercontinent during the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic times. It incorporated almost the earth's land masses. The formation and breaking up of continents is a geological cyclic process. And there seemed to have many supercontinents that existed before Pangaea. And according to the sources it assembled from the earlier continental parts approximately 335 million of years ago.
Glaciation is a geographical term that explains the formation, movement, and recession of the glaciers and this process was much more evident in times when the world was covered with ice sheets. Glaciers are nothing but in simple words huge chunks of ice which gets accumulated over a period of time, whose movement is governed by its own weight. Due to this ice layers are built which keep on growing slowly together forming a thick mass of ice.
Waterbody never stops moving and this tidal movement brings a lot of changes in the environment around- flora and fauna. However, global warming causing the melting of ice and glaciers has impacted heavily on this causing the extinction of certain species.
Earlier when these environmental changes were not so rapid, marine life in terms of flora and fauna flourished underwater. There was no soil erosion, seawater contamination in terms of industrial waste being released and other contaminants causing loss of marine life.

Indica las condiciones que debe cumplir una colisión entre moléculas para que se produzca una reacción química

g100num [7]

Answer:

Las moléculas de los reactivos tienen que chocar entre sí. Estos choques deben de producirse con energía suficiente de forma que se puedan romper y formar enlaces químicos. En el choque debe haber una orientación adecuada para que los enlaces que se tienen que romper y formar estén a una distancia y posición viable.
