The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The normal boiling point of acetic acid is 118.1°C. If a sample of the acetic acid is at 125.2°C, predict the signs of ∆H, ∆S, and ∆G for the boiling process at this temperature.

A. ∆H > 0, ∆S > 0, ∆G < 0

B. ∆H > 0, ∆S > 0, ∆G > 0

C. ∆H > 0, ∆S < 0, ∆G < 0

D. ∆H < 0, ∆S > 0, ∆G > 0

E. ∆H < 0, ∆S < 0, ∆G > 0

Answer:

A. ∆H > 0, ∆S > 0, ∆G < 0

Explanation:

During boiling, a liquid is converted to vapour. This is a phase change for which heat is absorbed because energy must be taken in to break the intermolecular bonds in the liquid before it can be converted to a gas. Hence ∆H>0

Secondly, a phase change from liquid to gas leads to an increase in entropy hence ∆S>0.

Thirdly, the process is spontaneous. For every spontaneous process ∆G<0

What is the product of the reaction of hydrobromic acid and 2-bromo-1-butene in the presence of acid and ether?
sergejj [24]

Answer: The major product of the reaction between Hydrobromic Acid and 2-bromo-1-butene in the presence of ether and acid is 2,2-dibromobutane.

Explanation:

The mechanism of the reaction is supported by the Markovnikov's rule which explains that in the addition reaction of alkenes by hydrogen-halogen compounds, the incoming halogen substituent goes to the more substituted Carbon. It can also be stated that incoming hydrogen atom goes to the Carbon with more Hydrogen atoms.

The only case when the reverse of Markovnikov's rule takes place is when Hydrogen peroxide is present and the addition reagent is HBr.

This case is not like that and it simply follows the Markovnikov's rule.

I'll add an attachment of the reaction to this now.

When wood burns, the mass of the ash is less than the mass of the original wood. Yet the law of conservation of matter says that
satela [25.4K]

Explanation:

According to the law of the conservation of mass, 'mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. The mass cannot be created nor be destroyed in a chemical process'.

This law holds true for the burning of wood also. Although the wood burns to produce ash which weighs less than wood but also, it produces some soot and other gases and the sum of the masses of all these is equal to the sum of the masses of wood and oxygen that reacted with it.

A solution was found to have a 15.6 % transmittance at 500 nm, its wavelength of maximum absorption, using a cell with a path le
Gnesinka [82]

For the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm  is mathematically given as

A’ = 0.16138

<h3>What is the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm?</h3>

Absorbance (A) 2 – log (%T) = 2 – log (15.6) = 0.8069

Generally, the equation for the Beer’s law is mathematically given as

A = ε*c*l

0.8069 = ε*c*(5.00 )

ε*c = 0.16138 cm-1

then for when ε*c is constant

l’ = 1.00

A’ = (0.16138 cm-1)*(1.00 cm)

A’ = 0.16138

In conclusion, the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm is

A’ = 0.16138

At standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), a gas has density of 1.5328g/L. What is the molar mass of the gas?
ahrayia [7]

The standard ambient temperature and pressure are

Temperature =298 K

Pressure = 1atm

The density of gas is 1.5328 g/L

density = mass of gas per unit volume

the ideal gas equation is

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 1 atm

V = volume

n = moles

R= gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/mol K

T = 298 K

moles = mass / molar mass

so we can write

n/V = density / molar mass

Putting values

Pressure=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{massXRT}{VXmolarmass}

Pressure=\frac{densityXRT}{molarmass}

molarmass=\frac{densityXRT}{Pressure}=\frac{1.5328X0.0821X298}{1}=37.50

Thus molar mass of gas is 37.50g/mol

alisha [4.7K]

The scientific instruments used to heat water to 85 degree Celsius has been graduated cylinder, beaker, thermometer, and hot plate. Thus, option B is correct.

Scientific equipments have been defined as the instruments and glassware that has been used in the scientific study and experimentation.

<h3>Equipments for heating the water</h3>

The water has been heated to the temperature of 85 degrees Celsius. The temperature has to be monitored thus, a thermometer has been used.

The water has been measured to be 1 L, thus the graduated cylinder, and beaker has been used for the measurement and heating of water.

The heat has been provided to the beaker by placing it on a hot plate.

Thus, the scientific instruments used to heat water to 85 degree Celsius has been graduated cylinder, beaker, thermometer, and hot plate. Thus, option B is correct.
