Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness of a substance.

For example, gases have more entropy as compared to liquids because molecules a gas have more kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly.

Also, when more number of moles are formed a chemical reaction then it means entropy has increased. But when there are less number of moles formed then it means there is a decrease in entropy.

Thus, we can conclude that the reaction 2SO_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2SO_{3}(g) results in a decrease in entropy as 3 moles is giving 2 moles.

This family (ethane, propane, butane, etc) of materials is likely to have what set of properties?
Ilya [14]

This family (ethane, propane, butane, etc) of materials is likely to have following set of properties.

  • The alkanes are non- polar solvents.
  • The alkanes are immiscible in water but freely miscible in other non-polar solvent .
  • The alkanes are consisting of weak dipole dipole bonds can not breaks the strong hydrogen bond.
  • The alkanes having only carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atom which is bonded by a single bonds only.
  • The alkanes posses weak force of attraction that is weak van der waals force of attraction.

The ethane, propane, butane, belong to alkanes family.The alkanes are also considers as saturated hudrocarbons. Ethane is found in gaseous stae Ethane is the second alkane followed by propane followed by butane.

How many ug of nickel (Ni) are required to make 25.00 nanoliters of a 1.25 mol/L solution? Be sure to report your answer to the
devlian [24]

volume of Ni = 25 nL = 25 x 10⁻⁹ L

mol Ni = 25 x 10⁻⁹ L x 1.25 mol/L = 3.125 x 10⁻⁸

mass = mol x Ar Ni

mass = 3.125 x 10⁻⁸ x 59 g/mol

mass = 1.84 x 10⁻⁶ g = 1.84 μg

A sample of element X contains 90% X-35 atoms, 8.0% X-37 atoms, and 2.0% X-38 atoms. The average atomic mass will be closest to
Ne4ueva [31]

To find average atomic mass you multiply the mass of each isotope by its percentage, and then add the values up.

35 * 0.90 + 37 * 0.08 + 38 * 0.02 = 35.22

Average atomic mass closest to 35.22 amu.

Cu + 2AgNO3 es002-1.jpg 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2 How many moles of copper must react to form 0.854 mol Ag?
marin [14]
Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

<span>                        Cu + 2 AgNO</span>₃     →    2 Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂

According to Balance Equation,

                   2 Moles of Ag is produced by reacting  =  1 Mole of Cu
So, 
     0.854 Moles of Ag will be produced by reacting  =  X Moles of Cu

Solving for X,
                             X  =  (0.854 mol × 1 mol) ÷ 2 mol

                             X  =  0.427 Moles of Cu
Result:
            0.854 Moles of Ag 
are produced by reacting 0.427 Moles of Cu.

When reactants and products are being formed at an equal rate in a chemical reaction, the ____. a. reaction is endergonic b. fre
attashe74 [19]
<h2>The answer is option b "free energy is zero"</h2>

Explanation

  • The reaction that has negative free energy are called exergonic reactions that means the reactants have more free energy than the product formed.
  • The reaction that has positive free energy are called endergonic reactions that means the final state or the products formed have more free energy than the initial state or the reactants.
  • The reaction that has zero free energy occurs when the free energy of both reactants and the products are same hence the rate of formation of products and reactants are equal.
  • Therefore, when reactants and products are being formed at an equal rate the free energy is zero.
