Which of the following reactions results in a decrease in entropy? 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) yields 2SO3 (g) 2NH3 (g) yields N2 (g) + 3H

2 (g) 2H2O2 (aq) yields 2H2O (l) + O2 (g) NaHCO3 (aq) + HCl (aq) yields NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) yields 2SO3 (g)

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.

How can understanding atomic light help astronomers determine what planets are composed of?
GuDViN [60]

The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. This process utilizes instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element has a unique fingerprint that allows researchers to determine what it is made of.

The fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy levels. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can push it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.  

Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine which elements are present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.

Explain the difference between fixed and variable oxidation
dem82 [27]

Fixed vs Variable Oxidation is given below.

Explanation:

1.In its compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, except. hydrides where the. oxidation number of hydrogen is -1. In their compounds, the metals with fixed oxidation states have the oxidation number that. corresponds with the fixed oxidation number.

A variable oxidation state is a value that determines the charge of the atom depending on certain conditions.

2. Ox­i­da­tion state of el­e­ments is con­sid­ered to be of the most im­por­tant in the study of chem­istry. For some el­e­ments, this fig­ure is con­stant known as fixed oxidation , while for oth­ers it is vari­able is called variable oxidation state.

3. MgCl2 :  magnesium is in Group IIA and all elements in Group IIA have fixed oxidation numbers of +2

FeCl2 :  iron has a variable oxidation number of either +2 or +3 and is not fixed

Air containing 20.0 mol% water vapor at an initial pressure of 1 atm absolute is cooled in a 1- liter sealed vessel from 200°C t
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

This solution is quite lengthy

Total system = nRT

n was solved to be 0.02575

nH20 = 0.2x0.02575

= 0.00515

Nair = 0.0206

PH20 = 0.19999

Pair = 1-0.19999

= 0.80001

At 15⁰c

Pair = 0.4786atm

I used antoine's equation to get pressure

The pressure = 0.50

2. Moles of water vapor = 0.0007084

Moles of condensed water = 0.0044416

Grams of condensed water = 0.07994

Please refer to attachment. All solution is in there.
