Even though the process is endothermic, snow can sublime. The tendency in nature that accounts for this phase change is that there is a tendency toward greater entropy. The answer is number 1. The rest of the choices do not answer the question above.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is given that the process is endothermic which means that $\Delta H=+ve$

The snow is subliming which means that it is changing its state from solid state to gaseous state directly and for this phase change to take place, $\Delta G$ must be negative.

As, for sublimation process, $\Delta S$ is always increasing and for spontaneous reaction, temperature must also be high.

$\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S$

$-ve=+ve-T(+ve)$

At higher temperature, $\Delta G$ will always be negative and it will be spontaneous reaction and phase change will occur.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

A 36.165 mg36.165 mg sample of a chemical known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen is put into a combustion an

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The empirical formula for the compound is C6H12SO2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing out what was given from the question. This is shown:

Let us consider the First experiment:

Mass of the compound = 36.165 mg

Mass of CO2 = 64.425 mg

Mass of H2O = 26.373 mg

Data obtained from the Second experiment:

Mass of compound = 47.029 mg

Mass of SO2 = 20.32 mg

Next, we'll determine the mass of C, H and S. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C in CO2 = 12/44 x 64.425 Mass of C = 17.57 mg

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H in H2O = 2/18 x 26.373

Mass of H = 2.93 mg

Molar Mass of SO2 = 32 + (16x2) = 64g/mol

Mass of S in SO2 = 32/64 x 20.32

Mass of S = 10.16 mg

At this stage, it is important we determine the percentage composition of C, H, S and O. This is illustrated below:

% of C = 17.57/36.165 x 100 = 48.58%

% of H = 2.93/36.165 x 100 = 8.10%

% of S = 10.16/47.029 x 100 = 21.60%

% of O = 100 - (48.58 + 8.1 + 21.6)

% of O = 21.72%

Now we can easily obtain the empirical formula for the compound by doing the following.

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass

C = 48.58/12 = 4.0483

H = 8.10/1 = 8.1

S = 21.60/32 = 0.675

O = 21.72/16 = 1.3575

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest:

C = 4.0483/0.675 = 6

H = 8.1/0.675 = 12

S = 0.675/0.675 = 1

O = 1.3575/0.675 = 2

From the calculations made above, empirical formula for the compound is C6H12SO2

If you know the mass of Earth, what other single value would you need to know to calculate Earth's average density?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Volume

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume. In order to find the density of earth when mass is given we have to calculate its volume. The volume of earth is calculated by using the volume formula for sphere. i.e 4/3 π r³. we also require radius to find the volume and we know that

Diameter = 2 × radius

The diameter of earth equator is 12756.75 Km. So we calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2. Then by putting the value of radius in 4/3 π r³ we will get the volume and then we can calculate the density of earth.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

The density of whole milk 1.04 g per mL. What is the volume (in quarts) of 18.5 pounds of whole milk?

nadya68 [22]

The volume : 8,526 quarts

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The density of whole milk = 1.04 g/ml

mass = 18.5 pounds

Required

The volume

Solution

Conversion of mass

1 pound = 453,592 g

18.5 pounds = 8391,45 g

Density formula:

$\large{\boxed {\bold {\rho~=~ \frac {m} {V}}}}$ .

Input the value :

V = m : ρ

V = 8391,45 g : 1.04 g/ml

V = 8068.7 ml

1 ml = 0,00105669 quarts

8068.7 ml =8,526 quarts

How many liters of h2 gas, collected over water at an atmospheric pressure of 752 mm hg and a temperature of 21.0°c, can be made

natta225 [31]

Answer:
The balanced equation tells us that 1 mole of Zn will produce 1 mole of H2.
1.566 g Zn x (1 mole Zn / 65.38 g Zn) = 0.02395 moles Zn
0.02395 moles Zn x (1 mole H2 / 1 mole Zn) = 0.02395 moles H2 produced
Now use the ideal gas law to find the volume V.
P = 733 mmHg x (1 atm / 760 atm) = 0.964 atm
T = 21 C + 273 = 294 K
PV = nRT
V = nRT/ P = (0.02395 moles H2)(0.0821 L atm / K mole)(294 K) / (0.964 atm) = 0.600 L

Explain Wurtz reaction with an example ~

Deffense [45]

Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Please bear in mind that wurtz reaction fails whenever tertiary alkyl halides are used.

An example of Wurtz reaction is given below:

2R – X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na + X−

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds can simply be defined as those classes of organic molecules which contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).

Below are some few general characteristics of organic compounds:

All organic compounds contain carbon.

Most of them are flammable.

They are all soluble in non-polar solvents

Most organic compounds / substances are covalently bonded molecules

Some classes of organic compounds are:

Alkanes
Alkenes
Alkenes

So therefore, Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution
